Birth control

Life

So I was at a publix and they said I needed a perscription to get birth control but I don't think that's true, where should I go?

Thank you all for responding, I think that's kind of dumb to make it a perscription thing because I consider it a life style choice like eating habits and stuff, but I understand what it is because of what you guys have said about hormones and stuff, thanks for the help
