I think it's nearly completely unnecessary. Women who are conscientious will take the pill regularly. Those who aren't, and not necessarily because they care less about popping one out when they're not ready, willing, and able to support it properly, won't.
By nearly, I mean for those who have trouble swallowing pills, though considering the size of the birth control pill, this isn't very likely.
What it comes down to, really, is how does a company make a product attractive when the competition is as high as it is? Many women these days are trying out new options: the patch, the ring, the injection, and even a small-yet-growing contingent of IUD followers. How does a company make women want to go back to something that fucks with hormones AND has to be remembered every day, versus something that fucks with hormones BUT only has to be remembered once a week, or once a month, etc?
