If there was ever a time for Big Pharma to exercise their control over politicians, it's now.

They will go after birth control. I don’t think it’s just Plan B and IUDs. Before plan B, women took birth control pills in higher doses, and it was effective. There is nothing that we can assume that they will not do.
Millions of women take birth control. Surely, Big Pharma will not just watch their profits dwindle?

Pharmaceutical cos are probably doing a lot of cost benefit analysis to figure how many politicians they'll need to buy to keep contraceptives available.
