Reply to comment by Pruedrive in Lamont proposes allowing CT pharmacists to prescribe birth control by gabbydeben

I was under the assumption that your doctors just refill it for you until your next yearly where they will renew the script, and I think that's reasonable considering our bodies are always changing and it shouldn't be a one and done. I don't think anyone should be comfortable putting their health solely into the hands of a pharmacist. Hormones aren't things to be messed around with, ya know?

Edit: I think it's more important to focus on organizations like Planned Parenthood that can help folks get access to the proper health care they need (in all regards) and that includes access to birth control, exams, etc.

Yeah totally true I’m just here cause I get stupid defensive when people put unnecessary restrictions on other body.. especially for dogmatic reasons.

No I 100% agree! And the overturn of Roe v Wade has been terrifying. I've just seen first hand the bad complications birth control has, and I think protecting people's rights to abortion, bodily autonomy, ease of access to health care and programs like Planned Parenthood is super important, especially right now.
