I agree entirely. The point I am trying to make is that, in the event of access to either information or contraception not being as good as it might be, women - younger women in particular - may still opt for the Internet. There will be no provision in the public arena for someone to discuss with the woman in question what is best for her, given her health profile. Situations will and do arise where, while particular prescribed methods may work for that woman, they may have other side effects as well. That is the point at which I am trying to get. We need to make contraception safe and available at a reasonable cost, without taking risks.
