If you're on the pill and you're listening to this right now, please stop. Just stop taking the pill. The pill was not created to set you free. It was not created to make you healthy. It was created to make you a better worker so that people could make more money off of you burning out your health. Birth control is a fundamental human right. Chemically induced hormonal birth control for women is a crime against women, and it's time to stop.
