b/c a woman needs to stay on bc pills once she starts them. she can't just pop a pill on tuesday cuz she has a hot date on wednesday. it doesn't work like that.

there are even some women (mostly younger women, i think) on birth control pills who just use it for hormone regulation, who'd have a 3-week long period if it weren't for the pill. for these women, the pill is more like a prescription medicine.

effective birth control requires a couple forms of protection like using a condom AND the pill (neither one is foolproof, but the combination of the two is a LOT more reliable).
