There are those that want birth control to be illegal. I can see where they get their points, but I have to disagree with them, if for no other reason than the unintended consequences. Birth control has other medical uses than simply preventing birth. Let me give you an example. My ex-wife had polycystic ovaries. Without birth control, she could not have a cycle that was even in the realm of normalcy. I won't get into details, because it is still disturbing. However, I will mention her aunt, who also had polycystic ovaries. She was not on birth control, and had to be rushed to the hospital due to blood loss. Had she not gotten there in time, she would have died. Birth control doesn't only prevent pregnancy, it also saves lives.
