Original: The pill: from symbol of women's liberation to subject of growing mistrust

Reports indicate growing mistrust around its side effects and long-term health impacts, prompting more women to question or abandon hormonal contraception and seek alternatives. The shift marks a notable change in how a drug that transformed women's lives in the 1960s is perceived today, reigniting public debate about medical information, consent and women's health.
