The Spin

Democratic narrative

This comes at the perfect time as women in the US need as many options as possible to take charge of their reproductive health in the wake of the abhorrent Roe v. Wade reversal. Oral contraceptive has been available and proven safe through prescription for 60 years, and it's about time they become even more accessible.

Washington Post
