from the '30s, '40s and '50s (or that's what I'd estimate)
Most of those are from the 60s and early 70s. Never underestimate how backward the US can be on some issues (on one of the shows dealing with Women's Day a sociologue was pointing out, to put a comment about "progress" in the western world in perspective, that the US are still 30 years behind the leading nations in matters of gender equality and women rights. It's 2012 and they still don't have legal right to free contraception for any woman who wish it, the judicial process for sexual harassment/rape etc. in the US is nightmarish. And so on...)
So it's International Women's Day today.

Yes, but "socialist American women" are usually the ugly ones that don't shave their armpits.

And... it's still the same pill, regardless of why it's being prescribed.

If the Catholic Church recognizes that exception, they would be well served to say so.

I don't give a flying fuck about the Catholic Church's position on this.

I first put '50s, then figured surely many would be older still.
