Dear Pharmaceutical Companies,

I get that you like to mess with women’s hormones. What fun! But how about focusing some attention on creating the contraception choices we REALLY need… like ones that can help control the spread of deadly disease? Controlling women’s reproduction is a total kick, but honestly, we’re worried about disease these days. Sometimes I think you haven’t noticed, so to remind you, HIV and AIDS are *very* big problems. All we’ve got to use against the spread of STIs is the condom, hardly a practical solution. I know you think you did women a favor by inventing the female condom, but seriously, what a joke! Let’s get those creative minds working on something truly useful!

PS: If you MUST keep on with the obsessive work on fertility control, might I suggest finding a reliable method of birth control that does *not* require doctor visits, prescriptions, insurance, or heavy expense? If you haven’t noticed, those are serious problems. C’mon guys! Think *outside* the upper-middle class whitebread box!
