Even liberals are suspicious of an infusion of female steroids that blocks all but 1 period a year. Here’s a spoof from SNL this past weekend.

That was pretty funny. Not as good as the Tina Fey “B**ch*s get stuff done” segment, but pretty funny.
Haha that was hilarious.
******* **** **** in ******* *** ****** **** bag **** ***** ****** tub ***.
I don’t need drugs to be a ***** ******* potato ****** during my period. On that note yeah it’s weird.
Hilarious! And a nice, subtle way to explain that misogynistic self-loathing to the extreme of sabotaging your female bodily functions is pretty damn dumb. :)

Isn’t pregnancy an infusion of progesterone that blocks all but 3 periods a year?

Yes, but like all birth control, it has to be used properly. In order to work one must be willing to actually remain pregnant for all nine months.
You may be onto something here. Maybe we should be promoting pregnancy as the new 9 month birth control!

……………………………
More like a year for me. I didn’t have a period for 3 months after giving birth with each of my children.
Well, there you go-
If this stuff just mimics pregnancy, what’s the problem?
Everyone has been “piggbacking” their hormonal birth control pills for years to avoid or re-schedule periods.

I can see no problem. If a person has a problem with artificial hormones, they should avoid them. I can’t see staying awake at night worrying about what someone else’s choices are and thinking up ways to blame them for having the right to make them.

Mimicing something natural and being something natural are two different things.
Pregnancy ends within 9 months, but birth control pills make the body think it’s pregnant for years on end.
Moreover, the natural surge of post-natal hormones that change the mutated breast cells into milk-producing cells never occurs, leaving those cells extremely cancer-prone.
Beyond that, how much self-loathing of your womanhood must one have to detest your period so much that you would damage your body with an unending fake pregnancy? A period is a thermometer that tells women about her internal organs- her stress level, her body mass (too little fat), the health of her reproductive system, when to seek medical attention, when to try for a baby, when to test to see if you’re already pregnant with a baby, etc. A period, although not always a whole lot of fun, are a wonderful, intelligent-designed tool God gave us to be good stewards over our health and our fertility.
Just by checking my basal temperature, examining cervical mucus patterns and charting my period, I could create or choose not to create babies with greater effectiveness than hormones that sabotage a healthy body.
So why not? Oh yeah-that involves a degree of self-respect and self-control.
I can’t see staying awake at night worrying about what someone else’s choices are and thinking up ways to blame them for having the right to make them.
Because these hormones are abortive and although such women might not care about their children I care about their children.
If it weren’t abortive, I’d say “Be my guest- It’s utterly foolish but it’s your chemotherapy for breast cancer. It’s literally your funeral.”
“Pregnancy ends within 9 months, but birth control pills make the body think it’s pregnant for years on end.”
Some people pretty much are pregnant for years on end ;)
But seriously I see nothing wrong, I mean I’m on the shot and after a while you won’t have a period at all. Before on the pill I took the pill continuously because the placebos upset the balance of my prescription. None of my doctors had a problem with it.
And…if there is a side effect later down the road, I’ll deal with it. It was after all my choice to go on it.

No- every pregnancy has a definitive beginning and an end. Every pregnancy has a cycle of hormones, not one steady stream of them.
I don’t see the boo-hissing about cancer from birth control.
What can’t give you cancer? Pretty much being conceived gives you cancer. And quite frankly, I’d rather get breast cancer because that is at least detectable at reasonably early times unlike ovarian or uterine cancer which are often not caught until it’s too late (and birth control pills *do* prevent ovarian and uterine cancers).
Anyway…
“No- every pregnancy has a definitive beginning and an end.”
I was kidding….
Right on Ari-chan.

Margarine, butter. Margarine, butter…hmmmm…
If a person has a problem with artificial hormones, they should avoid them.
I agree. I have a problem with artificial hormones, so I avoid them as much as I reasonably can, but the extent of my concern on the issue is just trying to make sure that other women know there are birth control options besides the pill. For a long time, “birth control” was basically synonymous with “oral contraceptives,” but lately that’s been changing — hooray. I don’t care much what people do with their own bodies, I just think people should be making informed decisions about what they’re doing with their bodies.

You care about my children? What have you done to exhibit this caring? I could have used a few nights off to go partying with Jill when they were little. Where were you with your free baby sitting?
They both have huge school loans to pay off. Send them a check!
Of course you don’t care about my children. You simply don’t believe that I had the right to choose to gestate them. You think that you should have authority over my body and my decisions. Guess what?
