I Posted This Info As A Response But Thought It Could Stand Alone As A Post - About Contraception...

I guess I just don't understand the Repugs stand on contraception and thought I contribute this to the conversation. This is in response to a number of the Repugs that voted down keeping contraception/birth control legal.

The Contraception Market Is Very Big And Many, Many Companies Are Involved In It....

The U.S. contraceptive market size was valued at around USD 8.0 billion in 2021 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 4.70% in the forecast period.

In 2015–2017, 64.9% of the 72.2 million women aged 15–49 in the United States were currently using contraception. The most common contraceptive methods currently used were female sterilization (18.6%), oral contraceptive pill (12.6%), long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) (10.3%), and male condom (8.7%).

In the United States, close to $3 billion in prescription birth-control pills are sold each year, according to the life-sciences research firm Iqvia. They are manufactured by a variety of drug companies, including Pfizer Inc. and Bayer AG.

The birth control pill is a safe, simple, and convenient way to prevent pregnancy. It also has other benefits like reducing acne, making your periods lighter and more regular, and easing menstrual cramps. So beyond birth control - it is a women's health issue as well.

Major players in the oral contraceptive pills market are Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. , Bayer AG, Syzygy Healthcare, Mankind Pharma Ltd. , Pfizer Inc. , Piramal Enterprises Ltd. , Ferring B. V, Merck & Co. Inc., Johnson & Johnson and Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Why aren't these companies lobbying Congress to make sure that Congress doesn't outlaw birth control?

I just don't understand the Repugs stand on this issue. How do they propose that making birth control illegal be policed?

Are we just talking birth control pills or are we talking about all forms of contraception?

Where is this all going?

When are the Repugs going to reinstate 'prohibition'? (sarcasm)

Is It Me Or Are The Cable News Channels Making Too Much Of A Big Deal About Biden's Covid?.....

I don't think they made so much of a big deal about TFG's Covid.

We've come a long way since TFG had Covid - with the vaccines, boosters and now the pharmaceutical one can take to ease the symptoms and keep a person out of the hospital.

All sorts of politicians - Repugs and Dems alike had Covid and gotten through it.

Why all this furor over Biden now?

Are the Repugs going to use this against him in some way?

What Was The Name Of That Al Gore Movie And Book About Climate Change?.....

I think it's time to rerun the movie on the cable news channels.

Al Gore was spot on!!!

It's Absurd To Think That The DOJ Would Let TFG Run For 2024 Again And Use That As....

an excuse not to indict him.

This guy is a criminal and is treasonous. One can count the number of crimes he's involved himself in on two hands and his toes.

How could anyone in their right mind justify letting such a person run for the most powerful job on the planet and let him use that as a get out of jail free card.

It's absurd to think that.

I can't believe that TFG has lawyers and advisors telling him that he can do this. I can't believe that TFG still has Repugs that are circling the wagons for him.

I would hold them as aiding and abetting TFG. They should be held accountable as well.

We as Americans cannot stand for letting TFG get away with the most egregious crimes any president has committed.

We have to demand that the DOJ indict TFG and hold him and him minions accountable.

Who Discovered Ivana's Body And Reported It To The Authorities?.....

I heard she fell down a winding staircase in her high heels - but who found her and reported it?

Did she live alone? Did she have a live in maid? What's the story?

Why Do Those Q; MAGA & Repug Conspiracy Theorists Make.....

up outlandish and bogus conspiracies when a REAL coup conspiracy has been played out in REAL time and is being exposed on a day to day basis by the J6 Committee?

How come they can believe the fake stories that are so far out in left field - yet they can't believe the real live conspiracy - the coup conspiracy - that is right in front of their eyes.

I just don't get it. What am I missing?

Has There Ever Been Any Speculation That TFG Had His Properties Wired For Videos & Recordings So...

he could use embarrassing videos as blackmail to keep those filmed loyal to him?

Could he have video's of some SS agents that could be used for this purpose?

Weren't there some stories in the last 4-6 yrs of SS agents being found catting around with some ladies of the night?

TFG put his SS detail up in his properties. Probably lavish surroundings and excellent food and drink. He treated them well. A good way to make them loyal to him - especially if he had some videos of them in compromising situations.

Now you wouldn't want any one to find out about that would you Mr. SS Agent?

If 'witness tampering' isn't beneath TFG - certainly a compromising video or two isn't beyond him either.

Pence Needs To Volunteer Immediately To Testify To The J6 Committee If He Wants To Maintain Any....

semblance of credibility as a potential presidential candidate in 2024.

There should be no deliberations or debate. It's his duty as a U.S. Citizen who was close to the central figure in this whole coup plot.

He needs to pony up and tell them all he knows.
