Social and cultural impact of oral contraception

Introduced at the beginning of the tumultuous decade of the 1960s, the Pill was nothing short of revolutionary. In the first place, it was far more effective than any previous method of birth control, giving women unprecedented control over their fertility. Its use was separate from intercourse, requiring no special preparations at the time of sexual activity that might interfere with spontaneity or sensation. When a woman of childbearing age began using the Pill, for the first time in history she and her partner could enjoy, at any time in her menstrual cycle, a completely natural-seeming act of intercourse, up to and including her partner’s ejaculation within her vagina, with a virtual guarantee that pregnancy would not result. This combination of factors served to make the Pill immensely popular within a few years of its introduction.

Also unlike other contraceptives, the Pill had potential uses other than contraception, such as the control of heavy menstrual bleeding or cramps (dysmenorrhea). Since dysmenorrhea is a common disorder, this allowed some women to obtain contraceptives without having to acknowledge that they were engaging in socially unsanctioned sexual activity.

The fact that the Pill was a female method of contraception came to play a complex gender-relationship role. During the 1960s, its effectiveness, for the first time in history, allowed women the same degree of sexual freedom that had before belonged only to men. This contributed to the rise of the sexual revolution as the decade wore on.[16][17]

Because the Pill was so effective, and soon so widespread, it also heightened the debate about the moral and health consequences of pre-marital sex and promiscuity. Never before had sexual activity been so divorced from reproduction. For a couple using the Pill, intercourse became purely an expression of love, or a means of physical pleasure, or both; but it was no longer a means of reproduction. While this was true of previous contraceptives, their relatively high failure rates and their less widespread use failed to emphasize this distinction as clearly as did the Pill. The spread of oral contraceptive use thus led many religious figures and institutions to debate the proper role of sexuality and its relationship to procreation. The Catholic Church in particular, after studying the phenomenon of oral contraceptives, re-emphasized traditional Catholic teaching on birth control in the 1968 papal encyclical Humanae Vitae. The encyclical, which reiterated the traditional Catholic teaching that artificial contraception distorted the nature and purpose of sex, was greeted with open dissent by many Catholics, which contributed to the rise of a culture of dissent in following years on other Catholic teachings.[18]

A backlash against oral contraceptives occurred in the early and mid-1970s, when reports and speculations appeared that linked the use of the Pill to breast cancer. Until then, many women in the feminist movement had hailed the Pill as an "equalizer" that had given them the same sexual freedom as men had traditionally enjoyed. This new development, however, caused many of them to denounce oral contraceptives as a male invention designed to facilitate male sexual freedom with women at the cost of health risk to women.[19] At the same time, society was beginning to take note of the impact of the Pill on traditional gender roles. Women now did not have to choose between a relationship and a career; singer Loretta Lynn commented on this in 1975 with a song entitled "The Pill," which told the story of a married woman's use of the drug to liberate herself from her traditional role as wife and mother.

Further, married women had control over their family size, even if their belief was that the woman was obligated to submit to her husband's sexual desires — regardless of her interest — which had been a prevailing view in many cultures. For women with abusive husbands or women who had had high risk pregnancies, this control was potentially lifesaving; however, it did lead to the conflict of obtaining medication without fully informing the husband.

In time, however, as society adjusted to these new facts, the Pill largely regained its reputation, due to its indisputable effectiveness and convenience. According to some sources, 80 percent of American women use the Pill at some point in their lives.

OrthoEvra-Patch Birth Control Patch is a weekly contraceptive which releases two hormones, oestrogen and progestogen into the bloodstream through the skin.

The OrthoEvra-Patch Birth Control Patch also thickens the mucus around the cervix, which makes it difficult for sperm to get into the womb.
