February (click here) is the shortest month, but don't be fooled; it has still been declared National Condom Month. More than 5 billion condoms worldwide are sold every year, according to Michael S. Zedalis, senior vice president in charge of science and technology for condom-maker Ansell Limited.
Known as Dr. Condom to his friends and colleagues, Zedalis offers seven factoids you probably don't know -- or didn't think to ask -- about the oft-maligned yet always useful "love glove."...
However, an IUD and/or birth control pills require a physician's prescription because it either requires a procedure or medical evaluation to provide a medication to effective the female ovulation cycle.

Women need the right to control their fertility and when to exercise it to provide for a stable and secure life and future for herself and/or her child(ren). Unless, the USA Supreme Court is going to turn the clocks back to limiting the freedoms and choices of women there should be free and open access to all forms of birth control including it's affordability.
The type of birth control a woman chooses is a matter of lifestyle. Women are allowed to have a life style of choice. If there is a ruling from the Supreme Court hostile to freedom for women, it will be recognition of a growing theocracy in the USA Supreme Court decisions that impose gender discrimination and oppression.
Such oppressive laws prohibit employment unless a woman is willing to experience financial hardship to prevent unwanted pregnancies. In most cases that expense is not possible to indulge and unwanted pregnancies then become the financial burden to the woman and impoverish her and her children. Life then becomes a struggle for survival and children limited to their outcomes with increasing costs of education and available financial aid. The wealth of the nation is diminished and it's brain trust robbed.
Yes. This is that oppressive a decision.
