I watched a movie in my Women's Bodies in Health and Disease class today. It was about the history of the birth control pill. It forced me to think (even more than I already do) about what life was and still is like without access to something as simple as The Pill. I have always had access to birth control, always used it to the fullest extent, never had to live with the constant fear of an unwanted pregnancy. I've always had supportive partners, some who even helped me with the financial burden that BC often comes with. I recently got an IUD and won't have to worry about BC at all for the next 10 years. What a comfortable life I have! If only it were so simple for others. If only I could help make it simpler.
Such a simple solution comes with such complex problems.
