Food for thought.

So as you may know, I am somewhat involved in women's health and such...
I care very much that women have access to birth control (be it whatever type they may prefer).

This is an interesting article about the origin of "the Pill." Namely, the creator of it and some of the medical science behind why/how it was made as well as some commentary about what women's menstrual cycles used to be like and how some of the things that have happened now have changed it.

I'm not trying to be controversial, but think it is an intriguing read, on whatever side you might come down on....
