I am doing an "infomercial" where I am siding with the point that you should use birth control but i need to cover the opposite side. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

There are many forms of birth control, I suspect that you are speaking of The Pill. I'll give you some of the cons, as we already know the pro's.
If you are a woman over the age of 35 and a smoker this can cause serious clotting issues with your blood. What happens when you smoke your body creates more red blood cells as the chemicals in cigs (primarily carbonmonoxide) have a 100xs more infinity to bind with the receptors on your red blood cells as oxygen. So when you take your first puff the carbonmonoxide "bumps off" the oxygen, the consequence of this is that your body is deprived of O2. The beautiful thing about the body is that it compensates by making more red blood cells to carry oxygen. Herein lies the problem: you have too many red blood cells, this coupled with smoking (and aging) can create issues with blood clots breaking off and causing serious problems, such as heart attack, DVTs, strokes etc.
Anyone who has an illness which compromises their vasculature (such as diabete's, hypertension, clotting issues) should not take the Pill. The pill "thickens" your blood, thus this will create problems (as mentioned above).

What sort of birth control do you mean? If you're talking about the pill, it can be dangerous in women who have high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart problems. In addition, it messes with your hormones and can cause other problems like a lower libido or breakthrough bleeding throughout the month, not just while you're on your period. I've heard that the patch is even worse for the bleeding.
However, if you're not ready to have a baby, then you should always use some form of birth control. I guess some people have religious reasons for opposing birth control but my opinion is if you really care about your future child you'll wait to have it until you're ready to give it a good home.
Some people think the pill is the same as an abortion, but it isn't. The pill prevents you from ovulating at all, so there's no egg to fertilize. So you don't even have to deal with that moral issue in your "informercial."

While on the pill I had lighter, but longer lasting periods. I would much rather deal with more heavy ones that stop at day five, then light spotting that could last over a week. Also with the pill I've noticed increased depression and lower libido. But maybe those things are related to other things. I'm not sure, but they started with the pill.

As for other forms for women, I believe that reducing the number of periods you have is changing your body's normal cycle too far. The patch had increased risks of blood clots and others associated with birth controls.

I'm sending you a perspective from "the other side", you'll have to do your research b/c I don't truely know 'how' birthcontrol/pills work. Once the egg is fertilzed thus becoming a fetus/life, birth control blocks the walls of the uterus, where the fetus continues to grow. In turn, preventing the little life to develope/aborting life.
I just read soapsoaps answer, so that would make this untrue. Is that how all "pills" for birth control work?

Some people have problems with mood swings while they are on it (worse than PMT without it), some lose sexual desire, it might be against your religion, it increases your chance of getting blood clots from 1 in 10,000 to about 2 in 10,000 (but pregnancy increases your chances of blood clots to 1 in 200), it gives some people migranes.

I think not getting pregnant is well worth all those risks. Haven't had any bad side effects yet, even after 9 years.

Well, one thing that most women don't know is that most forms of chemical birth control don't prevent pregnancies, they eliminate them. The hormones build up in your body. When the cells implant into the uterus lining, a chemical signal is sent through your body so that your body can begin changing for the baby. Those chemicals that store up in your body from birth control are triggered by that signal sent by the implantation and relieve you of that issue, and you never know it. This is not random, this is how my doctor explained it to me when i asked detailed questions. This is also why women get pregnant so easily when missing a dose on the pill....enough of the chemicals to abort the new pregnancy are not there, so they stay pregnant.

some human beings(cathlocs) say it makes intercourse much less sacred with the help of combating something natrul with a rubber device or a pill. some say that those are additionally styles of abortion, of corse some professional life ppl help this fact. the "Morning After pill" is bought below the theory that it prevents a pregnantcy from commencing. medical info has shown that the undeniable fact that birth control hasnt all started is fake. for that reason making it a style of " over the counter Abortion avaliblvan e to childrens" the abortion argument is supported with the help of asserting that it relatively is homicide to kill a skill life, wich noone will dare argue against and in the event that they do, nicely they might desire to be over excited in an unmarked van with the help of human beings in white robes and rubber gloves to be located in a rubber room with bouncy partitions an a a million way mirror.. nicely besides, those are some arguments you need to apply. stable success. -Andrew

If you are planning to be pregnant or to have a baby of your own, then maybe you should not use birth control.

humm.....i don't think theirs any reasons you wouldn't want to take birth control. They help reg. periods, help with cramping, help keep you from getting pregnant. The only reason i could maybe imagine is if it's against someone's religion.
