It's sad that our society needs such warnings. (Yes, I know there are other medical reasons to take these things besides not wanting children.)
On one hand, I agree with you, and on the other, I can imagine someone who's taking the pill in order to control acne or to keep cysts manageable or other reasons ... I mean, I would certainly ask my doctor about using something like that while pregnant or breastfeeding, but I've seen plenty of evidence that not everyone thinks these things through.

Personally, I just switched to a pill form of BC after years on Depo, and I've since discovered that quitting depo can cause many of the same side effects that starting it can! I wish I'd known ... right now my body is a warzone, with leftover depo clashing with the pill for dominance. At least, that's my interpretation of events.
