1. What I most vehemently object to are the idiots who do not realize
that birth control pills are used for reasons OTHER than birth control.

Oh, but to understand that, they'd actually have to research the issues. It's easier to hide behind their beliefs and project ignorance than to bother to fully understand the medical side of the issue.

On the other hand, they went to pharmacy school, so they likely DO understand that serious medical conditions are treated with birth control pills, and they consciously choose to ignore that training and assume that they are being used exclusively for birth control.
