The discussion about hormonal contraceptives has flared up again.

Helena Kopp Kallner believes that the discussion is a sensitive issue for many.

- In the 1960s, when the effective contraceptive methods came, it was about women themselves being allowed to control their fertility and the right to use these, she says in SVT's Morgonstudion.

She believes that today's discussion often has a different focus.

- Today the debate has swung.

Now it's more about the right to opt out, she says.
