Survey finds most women doctors endorse the pill
McCall's magazine reports a survey of 2000 physicians under age 50 showing two thirds of women M D s believe the pill is safe to prescribe and use by their patients and even by their daughters. Only one in three who practice birth control uses the pill themselves. Eight percent prefer IUDs and 7 percent diaphragm. Many former pill users shifted to other methods due to side effects or safety concerns.
