THIS DAY IN HISTORY – FDA approves “the pill” – 1960

Via History.com

On May 9, 1960, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves the world’s first commercially produced birth-control pill—Enovid-10, made by the G.D. Searle Company of Chicago, Illinois.

Development of “the pill,” as it became popularly known, was initially commissioned by birth-control pioneer Margaret Sanger and funded by heiress Katherine McCormick. Sanger, who opened the first birth-control clinic in the United States in 1916, hoped to encourage the development of a more practical and effective alternative to contraceptives that were in use at the time.

In the early 1950s, Gregory Pincus, a biochemist at the Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology, and John Rock, a gynecologist at Harvard Medical School, began work on a birth-control pill. Clinical tests of the pill, which used synthetic progesterone and estrogen to repress ovulation in women, were initiated in 1954. On May 9, 1960, the FDA approved the pill, granting greater reproductive freedom to American women.

Me, I just hang my Dungarees on the bedroom door and Bam!
It is the Dungarees, I am convinced, Not Easter, Christmas or my Birthday. Who made Dungarees, those people know things

I think I’d like to have some idea what you’re trying to express.

I think.

This was the point of no return for our current societal collapse. Before we can start putting the pieces back together, vile potions like this must be cast into the pits of hell from whence they came.

Only a very damaged and sick society would pursue or popularize such a drug. Once we decided we could transgender what a woman is by destroying her ability to conceive and give life, Dylan Mulvaney was always going to be the natural end result.

Can ya blame GenZ for being so damned confused about what a woman is when their own grandparents thought they could chemically alter what a woman is too?

More like suicide.

Just ’cause someone’s selling, doesn’t mean you must buy.

One of the first hits against the Family Unit … the next, of course, was LBJ’s insane ‘Great Society’ that required women to not have a man around to get a higher welfare check … and then, the death blow — Roe v. Wade in 1973 …

Stand US up … knock US down …
