Hallmark helps to make sure that on last Sunday we all knew it was Mother's Day, what many of us may not have known, it that it was also the fiftieth anniversary of the birth control pill. While many mothers were happy to embrace their child, many were very content knowing that they did not have to be a mother. It is great to be a mom when you are ready, but with "the pill" women have a choice. The pill is so commonly used that we lack the appreciation and so next time when you pop that little pill in your mouth you can be thankful that you can have sex without worrying about a little baby coming into your life any time soon!

Agreed! I think it's important to take a step back and realize what the pill has meant for so many women and families. Thanks for reminding us!
