Same. My periods would likely go back to be totally unpredictable, and I would end up blacking out and throwing up at least one week every month. So no, there is no way in hell I would vote for such a candidate.

I have dysmenorrhea so my hormonal B/C is very important to me. Also, I like sex and I don't want babbies cause I'm not ready for them. So the politicians can stay out of my business. They're my parts, not theirs.

No! I don't want to be like the Duggar family (no offense), and have a baby year after year.

Absolutely not. The people who are against birth control tend to be conservatives who derive their values from their religious beliefs. I for one do not like to see religious values imposed on the population because secularism should extend into common law to protect the rights of people with different values even if they are a minority within the culture.

Another stupid issue that shouldn't even be an issue for consideration for our politicians. There are too many other problems that need to be addressed.

No I personally wouldn't. There are so many good things about hormonal birth control, besides it just being for birth control.

No way. I support fiscal frugality but this social issue takes it too far.

Absolutely not. It helps a lot of people with menstruation and estrogen problems, not just sexually active people. It can hardly even be called just 'birth control' because it's so commonly used for other issues!

ITS MY BODY MY CHOICE!!! there is no way some one should be able to tell anyone woman let alone all women that they can not prevent an unwanted pregnancy...If a woman does not want children she should not have to have them and abandon them. Each and every single female out in the entire world should have a choice and there is no way I would ever vote for someone that wants to stop birth control!

This.

The amount of stupidity and mind-fuckery that would have to be present for that to be legitimately suggested and considered is so obscene I would not care how spot on anything else they had to say was.

No."

No-I don't think that is a place for the feds to decide.

Due to the fact that it would effect me negatively and women in general, I would never support that.

Sweet jesus lord have mercy, NO. Politics are supposed to move us forward, or at least into a better world...not back to one of the darkest times in the equal rights movements. o_O

no. considering that many women i know, myself included, take it for legitimate medical reasons, that would just be ridiculous.
