Pulling out since 1960



boston -A world without “the pill’’ is unimaginable to many young women who now use it to treat acne, skip periods, improve mood, and, of course, prevent pregnancy. They might be surprised to learn that US officials announcing approval of the world’s first oral contraceptive were uncomfortable.

“Our own ideas of morality had nothing to do with the case,’’ said John Harvey of the Food and Drug Administration in 1960. The pill was safe, in other words. Don’t blame us if you think it’s wicked.

The other day when we were stoopin' it we saw a young couple with two kids (when i say young i mean they could not have been older than 24). As the young lady walked by pushing her youngest son on a bike the father was right behind pushing his younger daughter on the same kind of bike. As he passed us and saw all of us grilling burgers, downing beers, and talking about pussy i knew right then and there he wished he had pulled out. It's hard enough taking care of ourselves sometimes - let alone a kid. Here's to keeping it in your pants till you got a plan - and if not, heres to the pill!
