Great Read For Those Interested: America and the Pill

[Kindra178]

Last week DH and I had a few moments before our movie date night so we stopped in a little independent book store. Since I have a Kindle, I rarely go to the bookstore anymore. It was so fun to browse in an unhurried and peaceful manner. I came across America and The Pill by a University of Minnesota professor. As an ex history major, I love reading books by historians on interesting topics (especially health) that have nothing to do with my current field.

Anyway, this book was a few dollars so I grabbed it. Quick, easy read and pretty enjoyable. I recommend to all who may be interested in this topic (wellyes, I am thinking of you).

Here is a piece by the author, which sums up the book:

Interesting. Thanks for the rec.

A friend commented to me a few years ago that if we get to Heaven and find out that the pill/iuds were in fact a sin, there is going to be a LONG LONG LONG line of us asking for forgiveness! She said it tongue in cheek but I can totally relate.
