This morning I opened an email from a fellow Squid lensmaster asking for clarification on whether depo vera was available in Jamaica for free to women.
This was a continuation of a short conversation carried out via the comment features on my Woman Freedom, Women's Reproductive Rights and Women's Rights Issues Squidoo lens and her Birth Control Prices Squidoo lens.
After responding to her query, I followed up by adding more content in a new Women's Female Reproductive System and Birth Control Rights module and followed through with a new Womens Rights Issues and Birth Control Female Reproductive System Rights blog entry on "Angela's Voice".
Ash seemed to find it hard to believe that Jamaican women have long had access to easy, free and effective birth control at our Jamaican health care clinics. I just finished buying and sending to my Sis in the US 13 packs of low dose birth control pills that she says she'd have to pay $30+ for plus would require a doctor's prescription.
I simply walked into the pharmacy here, placed my order for J$4,000 or US$58 worth of her preferred brand and sent it via my other Sis who was visiting JA.
Why are birth control pills so expensive in the US and why do American women need a doctor's prescription, approval and permission to purchase birth control pills?
I don't get that.
In the meantime, cleansing, pouring rain continues to fall here. ;-)
