> yet we hand that out like candy to little girls. Do we? What a silly post. And if there were an alternative that was 1 in a billion I'm sure that would be paused, too.

Yes, we do, and a cursory Google search will confirm this. Stop spreading disinformation and FUD.

  Please then, post your source and post the alternative that doesn't have the issue (orders of magnitude more).

    "Citation needed" is a lazy way to throw FUD at an argument; if someone who didn't even leave the comment you are responding to can spend 30 seconds to find the citation on Google to answer your question, you could have done so yourself instead of demanding other people cite every single thing they say lest they aren't believed.

      Good grief. You make the claims: > Hormonal birth control boasts clot rates of 1 per 10k This differs depending on the age from my research. Your overall seems too high when risk adjusted. I asked you to post your source so we could discuss from the same source. In any case per (https://www.healthline.com/health/birth-control/pulmonary-embolism-birth-control#is-itlikely https://www.healthline.com/health/birth-control/pulmonary-em...): - Out of every 10,000 women taking birth control pills, 3 to 9 of them will develop a blood clot. - Out of every 10,000 women who are not pregnant and who do not use birth control pills, 1 to 5 of them will develop a blood clot. - Out of every 10,000 pregnant women, 5 to 20 of them will develop a blood clot. - Out of every 10,000 women in the first 12 weeks after giving birth, 40 to 65 of them will develop a blood clot. In other words, taking birth control pills actually reduces blot clot rates compared to pregnancy, the very thing birth control pills prevent. Your entire point is moot.
