In the United States 98% of sexually active women have used birth control at some point in time, and 62% of those of reproductive age are currently using birth control. BUT, is it without risk??
MANY women (60%) are taking birth control for reasons OTHER THAN contraception. They are taking it for heavy periods, painful periods, irregular periods, acne, PMS etc.
