I think I was the lone anti establishment girl who understood the Catholic Church's ban on the pill. I would talk myself blue, but people did not get it. It was not because the Church wanted to control bodies, or hated sex, or wanted everyone to be prudish. It was an attempt to elevate the sacred act to the reality that sexual intercourse created a life, a separate life, giving man the most powerful ability, and responsibility he could have. The female, being the recipient, trusted by God to make another human soul come into existence, for this trial called life. Animals do not engage sexually until their body tells them to make more animals, they do not have recreational sex. Sorry, but that is how nature was set up. Once you steer away from the plan, abnormalities occur. Breast cancer, promiscuity, sexually transmitted disease, a devolution into dehumanization that resulted in abortion. I understand a need to limit children within a family's ability to support them. I understand a couple desiring one another, and wanting to share intimacy with not always wondering if they are making another baby. I understand complications that could harm a mother if she got pregnant again. The mistake was when they were prescribed to single women, randomly and freely. After 3 children, my sister, who was married, went on them. She was very fertile. I suffered from endometriosis all of my life, menapause was a relief, so my son is a miracle to me, while I was married, I could not get pregnant and I had no desire or funds to go through all the procedures and hormones, I was a back to the earth girl since the early 70's, if it was not happening in nature, it was not happening with me. My baby came to me when I was older, almost 40. I prayed for him to be, God gifted me. The pill was the nail in the coffin for responsible moral behavior. And look where we are today. Hook ups, casual sex, girls being expected to "put out". As long as the reality of procreation is in men and womens minds when they do it, they will consider the act in a higher regard. But I am an anomaly in the world, always have been. But you cannot deny that the risk of getting pregnant made people take the act seriously.
I also suffered with horrible endometriosis, heavy, heavy cycles lasting weeks and the extreme PMS. BC solved my cycle issues but both of my kids were not planned. Lol.
