Next; rhe commie-red cap, cultusts will be shooting/murdering pharmasists!
Never heard the term “reproductive rights”
Yay! Finally!!!!!!!!!
The Friday and Saturday booty call just got easier for you laideys. Guys look for that girl and go for it. Bartender. Two over here. 😘
Abortion will go down in history as the Greatest Holocaust of all time
That means more Banging without getting pregnant for those promiscuous women! Men better be careful catching some s.t.d
I'm 100% on board with this. But something to consider since healthcare is unfortunately a bazillion dollar business run by the insurance companies: will the availability of this OTC medication give insurance companies an excuse to no longer cover certain rx BC pills? For example, I have been prescribed things in the past that my insurance would not cover because a different dosage was available OTC. I could have paid a huge out of pocket fee for the rx or choose to pay a reasonable amount for the OTC and just adjust the dosage. Now, that was well before "Obamacare" so I don't know how the regulations apply these days. But it's something to consider.
So will men be able to buy it?
Finally MTV teen moms can stop now😂
Population decline globally…I got an idea! Expand access to birth control without a doctor! 😅. Sell them at 7-11! Give them catchy names like womb broom, papa stopper, junior miss, inconceivable….(Credits George Carlin R.I.P.)
Lol…I just got the name the Oh-Pill…..😂
Wait till Ole Clarence and Slippery Sam Alito get their hands on this.
Right Wing pro-birthers are going to have a complete freakout. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Big win for women getting tons of randoms and being diseased freaks now.
This is how little human life means to many Americans.
Anything to keep the local non-obedient population down to be replaced by people they think will be easier to control …. Good Luck with that …
Well, are the Republicans, going to BAN, this Birth Control, also.
What is the DIFFERENCE, between a Woman, and NOW, a Male, having Birth Control.
Just, wait, they will try, to find a "reason", that's, somehow, it's against God's Will.
The Catholic Church will have a meltdown. According to it, contraception is a "mortal sin."
Huge leap forward in advancing women’s reproductive rights. Congratulations!🍾🥂🍸
This is great step for women's and men's reproductive rights and healthcare.
Cool
Thank you! Yay! A big opportunity for young women to help themselves😊
Excellent move to combat the regressives attacks on reproductive rights.
is the pill strictly birth control or can it help with painful menstrual cramps?
Wow. This is historic
