Also, the problem is literally in urine. I don't understand your line about disposal. You want all women on the pill to always pee and poop into jars for proper permanent disposal?

Ah, I didn't know that the hormones were excreted via urine. Also, that link mostly talks about hormonal menopause therapy, and oddly only mentions the BC pill in passing, noting that only high-dosage pills seem to be linked to cancer.
