What is medicine for?

Source    

It is normal to take pills when one is ill; when something is not working properly and needs correcting.
So, why do doctors happily prescribe a pill to prevent a part of a woman functioning properly? That's not part of their job, is it?
It is not normal to want blurry vision. It is not normal to want to be hard of hearing. It is not normal to want to walk with a limp. And if you went to your doctor asking for a pill to achieve any of those things, he would think you were mentally unstable.
And yet, women want their fertility stifled, and doctors help them.
And, moreover, while ill people have to pay for drugs to alleviate their actual illnesses, women who want to inhibit their fertility can get the Pill for free!
Insanity!
