Birth control pill release begins the sexual revolution

888 Flash back presents historical events with a twist.

About this movie:
On May 9, 1960 the first oral contraceptive -- the birth control pill -- was officially approved by the Food & Drug Administration to be released to the public.

This pill allowed women to prevent unwanted pregnancies and, many believe, began the start of the sexual revolution of the 1960s. The sexual revolution is the name used to describe the change of sexual behavior and morality in the Western world. The term had been used as far back as the 1920s but became the name of the era created by the release of birth control pills. Some believe that the birth control alone was not responsible for the sexual revolution but that a combination of factors contributed to this period. These historians believe that women's greater financial security caused by entering the workforce during WWII also led to the revolution.

Someone who doesn't want children is a leech? It's a choice... Not a requirement.

Dude! The satisfaction of sexual urges without babies is WONDERFUL!! Try it some time! You might find yourself more relaxed.

[raquelbeau]

whats all this talk about religion? This is a birth control method for people who are trying to not bring children in this world just yet. I think that it would be more selfish for myself to have children when I'm not ready and I know that I cannot provide for them. It would not be fair for them at all. I am married, and my husband and I cannot afford a child. We have a dog and a lizard so we already have two extra mouths to feed.

@gonein30sec The sexual revolution is not the problem, the problem is the capitalist societies that are practiced in these countries. Corporations lie about what a woman's body looks like and makes them feel like they are worthless making them feel self conscious and that they must buy certain products to be beautiful. Of course they don't realize that these women have been air brushed and their imperfections have been taken out.

@amaqula And you call me a hypocrite! your very own Pope should have a millstone tied around his neck for raping children and covering up for it!! Catholics are a disgrace to Christ and God!!

@Grizzleyben707

Hypocrite - Christ also said better also said - better a millstone was tied around the necks of anyone who caused scandal to a child! So don't murder your children in abortion - cos that's the only reason you like immigration so much - to hide your evil sins of abortion and immorality - cos you have not enough children! So immigration masks your sins and inadequacy! Disgusting people!

CATHOLIC STATE forever - cos only the good survive! Stats proove it!
