Oregon lawmakers act for easier birth control access

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I don't know why a prescription for birth control pills is even still required. Seems like this is a long overdue change and should be done throughout the country.

HB 2879 was a concept developed by Rep. Knute Buehler, R-Bend, who led a work group in hopes of allowing pharmacists to prescribe and dispense birth control without requiring the patient making an appointment or seeing her doctor first.

The Oregon Health Authority and Oregon Board of Pharmacists would create the rules and protocols, including training, a self-screening test and notifying the patient’s primary care provider.

Thats crazy that you need a script for birth control with all the meds they hock on TV all day with side effect lists a mile long.

Only the right likes to get the two for one discount by complaining about the cost of an ounce of prevention and the cost of a pound of cure.

Maybe because the hormones in them are easily abused and have various side effects.

Enough of the female hormones in bc pills is chemical castration.

Sure, make it over the counter so the drug companies can get sued out of existence.
