My wife used oral contraception prior to us deciding to have children because it helped her manage period pain symptoms.

Now after children has had a semi perm (merina) contraceptive installed to manage the damage done by having children. Without it she would "bleed" almost all month long.

Its way past the time that the conservative sticky beaks made their uninformed the only message that law makers hear. Contraceptives are NOT just for stopping/managing baby production, they're also about saving lives and improving quality of life.
