I've seen this in a couple of other journals and just can't believe a woman's right to make decisions about her own body is being so completely ignored.

I've had that problem. I was on the Pill for a couple of years for a medical problem (pregnancy is totally not an issue for me), and if I had the money, I should be on it again, in fact. And I still had a doctor not want to give me the prescription because he was ethically opposed to birth control. (Me: "Uh, lesbian. Also not having sex with anyone.")

It's ricdiculous. They don't seem to be taking medical conditions into account at all. There seems to be this blanket belief that if you're on the pill you taking it because you don't want a baby. Women as baby-making machines, that's all they're thinking of. Thank god we're not up to that sort of thinking in Australia. Yet.
