I just wish I had PLATINUM health insurance like the corrupt politicians voted for themselves. Instead of my Bronze.
More like wood
Politicians should have the same medical insurance as the people do. They always look out for themselves. It’s a racket. They are criminals.
Be patient 😊 you will soon be paying for it, comrade 😂
@@thelemon5069 🤣🤣🤣
This is medicinal for so many women who suffer from endometriosis and other debilitating health conditions, as described by the multitude of women who suffer with this condition. As well, Many countries have had this available over the counter for decades already.
Yeah, they serve it in table water in schools 😂
"They weren't sure women would be able to follow the instructions"
Tell me the panel was made up of exclusively old men without *telling* me.
Yeah and in Texas your friendly local neighbor bounty hunter will go through your trash to see if you've taken that pill and then claim his $10k reward for turning you in.
If you're that paranoid then burn it in your bbq pit.
And he wouldn't get a dime because birth control isn't an abortion
This is birth control, not an abortion pill. This pill prevents pregnancy from occurring, rather than terminating pregnancy.
Am I the only woman who heard, "they were worried that women wouldn't be able to understand the directions without a prescription."? Misogynistic much?
I mean ya take one a day , so confusing for our little brains 🧠 to handle
Just a little. And it's not like other medicines are available like allergy medicine and pain killers. People still read those labels just fine
I really thought I was hearing that wrong. Smh
Should make it available online nationwide ! Name only required for medical safety notification, law forbids politicians from access of info.
Abortion is murder
Wonder if there will be a class action lawsuit in about 4 to 5 years?
Scared of anything huh
Don't take it if you don't need or want to. Nobody forcing you to.
@@Onurtime 🤔y’all kind of are though.
@@jeffsimpson1421 how
Finally
If they’re going to tell women what they can do with their bodies why not give them free healthcare?🤷♂️
TrialSite News.....woolinski resigns......CDC ....... DailyClout......she knew........
Over the counter isn't covered by insurance, so birth control pill cost ate going to be expensive.
Guess i need to ask my doctor if this is right for me
Dang, was hoping this was the men's version too. Would be nice.
As a nurse, this can be da😮
Should offer them to the migrants...for free.
Please do. And pass it out to the underprivileged. This is such a better option than killing a kid.
This should have been done to prevent abortions of unwanted children instead of creating laws banning abortions. Abortion is apart of female healthcare when pregnancies go wrong.
@@JJ-fq4nl nah it's birth control for people to lazy to,take birth control. Nothing will change
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
"this just in. the Pill is already illegal in Texas, NC, SC, Georga... BibleBelt... Back to you Bigot."
How is standing up for the defenseless bigoted? Take your time. Be specific.
@@scillyautomatic if yo udont get the joke im not slowing down to explain it to you. bad dog! personally offended by your own askew view.
@@scillyautomatic Take your time to explain why having a safe and effective form of birth control is stripping away defenses from the defenseless? With better access to birth control, wouldn’t there be LESS defensive lives at stake?
This isn’t abortion, it’s preventing sperm from fertilizing the egg. Did you even watch the video?
@@anjelica948 You answered you own question. But you think that killing a baby is birth control. It's not. It's murder. Now answer my question.
Gardasil
Just read this,i will be praying Al Roker,knee replacement,i was a pro catcher in the 80s,my knees are precious to me,recover well and come back soon Al,we miss you already
Yes. Al Roker's knees, oh, and all the babies that will be snuffed out by this pill.
The fat surgery was to late for the old knees
Pumped up like a nickel balloon.
Can trans women use this for HRT?
Trans women still need testosterone blockers, which are arguably more important because testosterone is more potent than estrogen.
men?
This is only progesterone, so probably not--there's no estrogen.
No, this isn't for biological men pretending they're women, it's for biological women who have ovaries and can carry babies in their wombs.
@@RAYTHEONGAMING no they asked if women can take it.
Those pills have side effects like migrane head aches and blood clots, among others.
So does any other over-the-counter medication
Like all birth control pills? All medications can have side effects. How about you mind your own business? Stop trying to control other people
And ibuprofen can make you throw up blood if you take too much or mix it with alcohol or certain meds. Yet it's available over the counter as well because as long as you read the medication info and take it correctly the benefit generally outweighs the risk. All medications have the potential for side effects and if someone is aware of that and decides to take it anyway, there's no reason why they shouldn't be able to.
Well, considering more and more stores that would sell this, such as Walgreens and cvs and Walmart, are shuttering stores by the hundreds especially in democrat-ran states, who is gonna sell this? They gonna make it available in the bathrooms at bars and Disneyland???
bro delusional these companies getting more money than ever outta people they open. they will sell.
These stores are not closing in my state.
At least some of the members on the panel were smart enough to raise concerns. But why did they vote in favor? 😠
How is something that is absolutely none of my business to affect suddenly 100% my responsibility to pay for via taxes?
You mean how taxes pay for GOP MAGAts to go spew lies on Faux News? Or pay for corrupt Clarence Thomas?
What are you even talking about? Your taxes don't pay for Tylenol
Huh?
Leave America if you don't want to pay taxes
Your wife putting it into your breakfast could make it your business 😂
This will make it a 1000 times easier for those who want an abortion in the red states to get it done. Even if the pill can’t be sold in red states.
It is a contraception pill, not an abortion pill.
Most intelligent conservative lol
I think this pill is to prevent babies before they’re babies.
@@docholiday5682 whatever it is… what I still say is valid.
@@Guerrilla727 Don’t know if your being sarcastic or not. But even if you are for or against abortions. The fact is a pill like this will still make it easier even if you live in a red state that bans this pill. I never commented on if I approve of this pill or not. It’s irrelevant how I feel about this pill.
Gotta do something to keep the Black American population under control…
Is someone forcing them to take birth control?
I'm sure Fauci will give his seal of approval! Safe & Effective!!
Hey John, no uterus, no opinion. Go take some Viagra, it's Fauci approved.
Dr Fauci is an infectious disease expert.
Wow you are incompetent
The same ones that approved The Jab? This oughtta be hilarious.
No Covid, no problems with the jab. What is your problem?
Hilarious how many men are offended by this... Go take some Viagra, FDA approved.
Man you are absolutely incompetent
It will be blocked and banned by every life loving state.
So states come out and block choice "before 6 weeks" and then they come out with an option that would effect before that giving them some level of choice, they say "nah no choice even before 6 weeks" basically forcing birth 😂😂 ironic that Republicans are the god fearing usually yet love to take away on of the first things he supposedly gave humans "free will" odd indeed...
"Life loving"
"Life loving state"*
*: Except for the life of the mother, criminals, anyone I don't like, minorities, LGBTQ people, children in poverty, etc.
I don’t. This is contraception. I’m against abortion (mostly) because I don’t think it’s hard to and avoid getting pregnant. But I’m not against any method contraception. I honestly don’t mind the plan B pill. That’s like getting a 48hr extension on birth control. Lol. And really people can do whatever they want but to me once they get past 3 months it starts kinda feels a little murdery. So I really didn’t have much to say about the matter until they started talking about 6 and 9 month abortions. When something can survive without a womb. That’s a person.
Why do those states also have the death penalty?
I'll take a box of murder pills and 'Zooka bubble gum.
So glad you have so much to say on this issue David. Good to know that you won't be taking any pills if you get pregnant.
It is a contraception pill, not an abortion pill.
Ok boomer.
@@coleengoodell7523 oh yes the sane ones speaks, return to the Oracle at Delphi to continue your words of wisdom.
Every sperm is human life, every sperm is an unborn baby. Are you kind to all of your sperm babies?
I am fine with birth control but not with abortion. As it is a precaution but not anything afterward. Because it is proactive whereas other things are reactive.
And what if the pregnancy suddenly endangers the mother’s life? What then?
There are elements of the right wing who have signaled that they want to go after contraception. I think that's insane, but that's where we are in this country. If you think the Roe vs. Wade/Dobbs decision was controversial, imagine Griswald vs. Connecticut getting overturned by the Supreme Court. Birth control probably has an 85 percent approval rating in this country, but there are hardcore elements of the right wing (including some hardcore catholics) who would like to get rid of that. That tiny minority has a lot of influence with republican politicians.
@@anjelica948 First, who said the life of the mother is more important than the life of the fetus?
Second, now If that was the case the doctor would then make a judge base on who has the greatest chance of survival (normally this would be the mother) but he would have to be able to justify the decision. it would not be based on anything else.
That's great to know Allen. So next time you get pregnant the rest of us don't have to be concerned about you being reactive. Great news. Good for you.
What exactly is your problem with abortion specifically? I know a fair bit of the science. If it has anything to do with the fetus suffering, the capacity to feel pain doesn't develop until 24-25 weeks, or the start of the third trimester more or less. The nerve cells simply are not developed yet.
...whatever happened to keeping your legs closed ?
I'm sure women around you have no problem doing that.
@@DengusK they stopped teaching it at health class instead they teach about trans love.
@@DengusK jokes on you, I would get laid twice a week when I was single. And no, I won't lie to you, I've had ugly, fat, normal, hot, chubby, teens, milfs, the list goes on. I've even went harpooning for fatties, now that made me a legend.
Whatever happened to keeping it in your pants?
Stay mad incel
I’m 42 years old and went to pharmacies when I was in high school to totally get safe birth control (We also went to Bed Bath and Beyond). We got it. Does this worthless FDA not think about what we have all gone through in our lives, or do the just want to manipulate the next generation?
