Fact of the Day: birth control pill
The first commercially produced female oral contraceptive was introduced on August 18, 1960. The birth control pill was a major medical achievement: for the first time in history, women could safely and effectively control childbearing by taking a pill. Birth control pills are synthetic hormones that mimic the way real estrogen and progestin work in a woman's body. Since no new eggs are released by a woman on the pill, her body is tricked into believing she is already pregnant. The birth control pill had a major social impact on society. Its popularity also heightened the debate about the moral and health consequences of sex and promiscuity. Since the pill's introduction, it has been used by millions of women around the world. Male oral contraceptives are in the developmental stage.
And if more people used them correctly, there would be less need to fight about abortion!!!!!!!!!
Ah well... men and women need to both be responsible for this.
If your woamn isn't on them and you aren't sure you are ready to be a daddy, use a condom!
Okay enough preaching... Just needed to post! Hugs and have a great weekend!
