US pill prevalence

The pill is used by about 12 million women in the United States and 100 (пожалуй, 200) million women worldwide.
53 percent of the 3.1 million teenage women who use contraceptives use the pill. It is the most popular method for teenagers, women in their 20s, women who have never married and women who are college-educated; about one-third of women of childbearing age in the United States use the pill.

Japan approved Viagra six months after it was introduced, but after 10 years of research, still hasn’t approved low-dose oral contraceptives for women.

Several states still have so-called “conscience clauses,” which allow doctors or pharmacists to deny contraceptives to a patient because of religious or moral beliefs. (Во!!! дурдом)
