The risk of pregnancy is also unsafe if you aren't prepared for it. It can completely change your life.
Line breaks? As in paragraphs? Just hit "enter".

what about the people who don't use the pill as a form of contraception but rather as an actual medication. it's a heck of a lot more expensive at shoppers drug mart or the university pharmacy.
I'm annoyed.

Technically a pill and a condom should be used in conjunction to provide maximum protection, like pregnancy and STDs/STIs. But I don't know anyone who does that.

Really? Usually people use one or the other.
And as for asking for it back, I don't know... maybe a petition could be started. |

Either that, or STDs or both. And with good reason, cause last I checked, those things weren't exactly desirable lol

Okay so this is saying that the Campus Health Center isn't going to be providing contraceptives but will the pharmacy in MUSC still be selling contraceptives?!
