Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was all "No you can't!" before I realised you totally can.
Before 4:15. I surely will.

It's 4:18 by my computer. Have you called in sick yet?

I called in sick (at 4:17).
I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I have a question from the article Plei linked to:
the end of the sixties when the Pill suddenly stood accused--wrongly--of causing blood clots, strokes, and heart attacks.
I thought risks of blood clots/strokes/heart attacks were still applicable. Is the risk just not as high as they originally thought 40 years ago?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.
I hope you're happy, too. I hope you're proud how you would grovel in submission, to feed your own ambition....
Sorry. It's in the CD player.
Jilli gets it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh, that reminds me, Jilli, do you know anything about The Corpse Bride? They had a preview for it at Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Looks rather interesting.

If you have a preexisting condition that puts you at risk for blood clots (as I do), it's recommended that you use only low-estrogen pills, and most gynos will make you sign a waiver saying "I have read about the risk of blood clot, and I still really don't want to get pregnant."
The risk is much much lower than it was in the 60's/70's because the hormone levels in BC pills have gone down drastically.
I'd never heard of strokes/heart attacks being related to BC pills before this article.

I'd never heard of strokes/heart attacks being related to BC pills before this article.I had, but only once. Again, due to the higher level of hormones that used to be in the pills. I was on Ortho-Novum 1/35s. There was a 1/70 my OB/GYN told me about and they took it off the market because it was causing strokes. IIRC.
