I'm Catholic and am on birth control....for the next year....without taking the placebos (can we say that I'm pretty excited that I won't have a period for the next year!!). I'm taking them because the uterine wall is enlarged (I had a biopsy - no cancer, but my cells are "disorganized"). This is to help shrink the uterine wall and hopefully avoid further treatment. Why should a pharmacist decide if I should have my prescription? He may or may not know why I'm taking it. Golly.

I feel that I shouldn't be forcing my beliefs on anyone else nor should anyone force theirs on me. We're all old enough to decide for ourselves and we have to live with those decisions.

Just my two cents worth.
