Without the pill the sexual revelation may never have happened? Or the babyboomers would have had alot more kids. :readp:

Wait, I thought abortion was the most popular form of birth control?

Jeez, I hope not.

I can't imagine anyone choosing abortion as a form of birth control. I suppose it could happen, but so much easier to prevent pregnancy in the first place.

I agree. I am not saying they plan for it to be their form of birth control. Just that most people who have them now a days just do it as an afterthought form of birth control. I would love to see a statistic, but I would venture to guess that over 95% of all abortions are not done for health reasons. They are done for no other reason than because it was an ooops or they changed their mind and so they use the abortion as a form of birth control after the fact.

Looks like there is now the chance of a male version of the pill.

Very interesting. I would consider it as long as it was reversible and didn't give me man boobs. :Hellno:

BTW, maybe I am missing it but I don't see a shocked or scared emoticon.

Here are a few. Not easy to find non animated smilies now days.

Thanks. I guess I need to look closer at all of them. Love those actually. I found these as some fun ones, but maybe you don't want this kind......
