the truth is that I was put on the pill before I started having sex. I used to have to stay home from school because my cramps and headaches were so bad. The pill aleviated all of those things! I know how hard it is to talk to your parents about being put on the pill, but my OB/Gyn actually recommended it to my mom when I went in to be checked out for my problems.

I also was on birth control long before I started having sex. There is a correlation between usage of the pill and a lessened chance of ovarian cancer. Having a bad family history of ovarian cancer, I was on the pill as soon as I was old enough.
Furthermore, I feel even within a marriage a woman has a right to decide when or if she plans on having children. It's her body, her life, and her choice. I feel she shouldn't be dictated to by a man about when she may have sex (unless he is her partner or potential partner), and whether or not she chooses to have children.
