Infection Wrote:Contraceptives are sometimes used for medicinal purposes. It's even in the article you should have read. The issue is, birth control shouldn't be something that you'd require permission to use. Especially as some of the medical uses of birth control pills are used to combat stuff that can't really be diagnosed, like heavy periods.
Not sure why you're even pointing that out? The article already says they are still covered if used for medical purposes. The second part of your point is laughable. It's like saying I want to take Viagra for my heart condition. If you got a problem like heavy periods, talk to your doctor and have him prescribe something that is sold for the purpose of treating it.
