I don't understand the uproar about this. If there are two medications, of equal effectiveness, and if you were to get pregnant while on one of them your children would have flippers and three noses, how is it offensive to always give women the one that won't create little mutants, even if they say they don't plan on getting pregnant?
There are no signs of pregnancy until weeks after conception, and a lot of meds and procedures negative effects are strongest in early first trimester. By the time you find out you are pregnant, you already have been for a couple weeks...you can't retroactively go back and untake the flipper-causing meds you've been on.
