What You Should Know About The Birth Control Pill with Ricki Lake & Abby Epstein

Documentarians Abby Epstein & Ricki Lake join Jameela this week to discuss their documentary -The Business Of Birth Control. They discuss the history of the contraceptive pill, how many of its side effects have been downplayed by Big Pharma, the dangers surrounding the birth control pill, the importance of women being able to make an informed choice, why the media refuses to talk about this documentary, and more.
