Also a whole lot of people need it to hold down a job or stay in school regardless of reproductive risk: it offers menstrual control. It can be the difference between debilitating, bedbound periods and normal function. It’s medicine. It’s also very cheap to produce and returns soooo many thousands of dollars to the economy for every dollar it costs, so don’t let anyone make a false financial argument about it.

I didn't use it because when I went to get it the pharmacy was out so asked again for what I wanted to begin with which was a copper iud... while I love that it lasts 10 years and is the most effective I bleed over 3 weeks a month for the past 6 months. While most of it is light I didn't expect so frequent spotting, but I read it usually goes away by 6 months to a year, which is super annoying. So I'm sharing this because if you don't want your period use the pill or a hormonal iud. All birth control is good. I don't mean to add fuel to the anti-birth control stuff by complaining. The antis probably got to me too because I just didn't want a hormonal and now I'm dealing with the consequences. Still glad I'm relatively safe for 10 years.
