Just last week, the Senate introduced a health care bill, the

These women are 100 percent right. Birth control is absolutely health care.

Hormonal contraception can help prevent PMS, and a 30-year study showed that the pill can help ease debilitating menstrual cramps.

Research has shown that birth control can also help with acne, and a 2010 study suggests that women who spent 15 years on hormonal birth control slashed their lifetime risk of developing ovarian and endometrial cancers by roughly 50 percent.

Birth control is also a recommended course of treatment for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Christine Proudfit, M.D., an assistant professor in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City, previously told WomensHealthMag.com that going on the contraceptive pill can help treat endometriosis, a condition where uterine tissue migrates to a woman's fallopian tubes, ovaries, and/or other parts of the pelvic cavity.

The condition can cause debilitating pain and affect fertility in the long run.

So, yes, Stefan, birth control is beneficial to women's health in a myriad of ways and all women deserve access to it.
