Contraception

Artificial Contraception: Empty Promises, Trail of Tears

By Dr. Robin Bernhoft

PT Barnum loved to defraud the public. He organized his professional life around the motto, "there's a sucker born every minute." Barnum would have loved artificial contraception, for it has been a con-man's dream: contraception continues to rake in billions of dollars, year after year, without delivering on most of its promises.

A harsh statement? Think again. Think back to the early years of the birth control pill, forty years ago, when Harvard’s Dr. John Rock first introduced it. What did "the pill" promise? Sex without responsibility or consequences. Sex without pregnancy or children.

Men like Hugh Hefner welcomed the pill because it made more women available for their personal consumption. Feminists liked the pill because it promised women that they could "have it all" -- which meant they could have sex whenever they liked without babies interrupting their professional advancement.

The pill was supposed to make it possible for women to be equal to men in every way. It promised women they could be sexually promiscuous with no more personal consequences than are typically experienced by men. The pill was supposed to empower women to raise their horizons to gain them new levels or respect and dignity.
