Many of the educational and economic opportunities women enjoy today are the result of one major development: having full access to birth control.
Each year The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy hosts Thanks, Birth Control Day to invite people to share how contraception has changed their lives.
That day is Today, November 16th.
In 1972 contraception became legal for single folks to use available methods. (Before then, only married couples could.) This year the organization is celebrating its twentieth anniversary—and a 48 percent decline in the teen pregnancy rate over the past two decades.
"Deciding if, when and under what circumstances to get pregnant is arguably one of the most important life decisions a woman will make," says Ginny Ehrlich, who is the CEO of The National Campaign. "Since birth control has been made widely available, there has been a staggering increase in women's wages, an increase in female college graduates and [an improvement] in family well-being."
Get involved in the #thxbirthcontrol movement by sharing how birth control has impacted your own life and career on social media.
Charreah, thanks for sharing! How are you doing?
