It's not over the counter where I live (in Europe and EU) and there is no outrage about using anticonception, in fact it's common for 15 yo to get on the pill, so there are no political or cultural reasons for it to be prescription. That's what I was going on. Any more questions or projections from your side?
Ohhhh what was I projecting? Tell me more.
You're conveniently ignoring the rise of the far right across Europe, and who are running countries like Hungary and Poland. There is a reason that those two counties, in particular, are rated extremely poorly with regards to access to contraception. And it's not because of some perceived danger.
I said "much of Europe."
I'm going to respectfully step in and ask you two to please disengage with one another. This comment chain has strayed pretty well into "not nice" territory, and isn't inspiring confidence that further back and forth will lead to productive discussion on this topic.
In the future I'd ask that you please try to remember to assume good faith from others here whenever you can. It's pretty clear to me that you're both fundamentally on the same side with respect to the importance of reproductive rights, there's no reason this had to turn into a fight in the first place.
