Birth control does not just mean "the pill".
There are many types of birth control.
I am sure many mudcatters, like me, had a grandmother or great grandmother who had baby after baby until finally dying with the last pregnancy.
The complications I had with both my pregnancies almost killed me. The twins did die with my first pregnancy, a caesarian saved me and my son with the second pregnancy.
Birth control is a matter of saving women's lives. With a history of blood clots, I could not safely get pregnant (or take the pill). I finally chose tubal ligation.
Men who blithely claim that pregnancy is natural don't realize that death from pregnancy and childbirth is natural, too.
Let women protect our own health and lives by being able to use the birth control that is safest for each of us.
In the USA, that means you have to have enough money to pay for it.
