I didn't say I think it's a good idea. But the low-dose birth control pill, given to teens and young women, is a recipe for pregnancy. They have to take the pills at exactly the same time each day. But having the prescription makes them feel safe to have more sex, which drives up the risk of pregnancy.
If you are going to give young women a birth control pill, you have to make it a lot less risky than the lowest dose legally possible.
PP doesn't give a shit about their health either. They care about making more babies so they can abort those babies. Their entire business is about profiting from abortion.
Personally, I think kids are far better off using condoms if they are going to be sexual active (moral issues aside). The odds that little johnny will slip off the condom seem quite a lot lower than the odds that little Janey will forget to take a pill at the exact same time every single day.
