Don’t think moms talk to daughters about birth control? Check out a video of my daughter and I discussing how difficult it used to be to access birth control.
It's been nearly fifty years since the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Connecticut v Griswold struck down state bans on birth control. Yet women in at least 24 states have reported that their pharmacists have denied them access to birth control. And politicians are not making it any easier by trying to limit access to affordable contraception and other women’s health care needs.
Help us collect stories to remind our daughters and granddaughters about the fights we have won — and help them fight the challenges that lie ahead. Ask your mom, aunt, or grandmother her story about the challenges of accessible birth control or share your own story with us.

Human Reproduction
Many of the world's problems are due to overpopulation. It's simple; the more people, the more depleted our finite resources become. So, this not just a matter of women's rights, but, it's a world-wide problem. I'm sure if it were men that gave birth to children, birth-contol would not be an issue. This affects us all, male and female alike. Women should be able to choose when they want to have children, not politicians or religions. This is a global problem, and men should take this as seriously as women do. It's already a woman's right and how can a government take rights away from people, that they have already been granted?
