Population control? Maine wants to issue a yearly supply of dangerous birth control to women

Birth control has been a topic of immense debate in recent years, and Maine has taken the controversy to a new level with a recent bill regarding the popular medication. One of the aims of the new legislation is to allow women to pick up an entire year’s worth of birth control at once. Currently, insurers from the northeastern state only allow women to receive up to a three month’s supply at once — and in some instances, women are required to go pick up their medication each month. In other words, current laws about birth control in Maine are essentially the same as laws regarding other medications, but this could change under the new legislation.
