May 9, 1960:
The US Food and Drug Administration approves the first birth control pill, called Enovid. There is contradicting information setting the date at June 23, 1960. Since that time more than 40 different birth control methods have evolved through research and invention; making partial birth abortion virtually unnecessary and (in the case of government funded full birth abortion enterprises) a crime against humanity.
Since education communities are largely places for young people of family formation age, this topic is of central importance to civilization, though well outside our primary expertise, interest and resource availability.
While there are a variety of contraceptive options available, the exact number and type of methods can vary depending on a number of factors, including the region, country, and medical context in question.

Pregnancy-as-fetish (yet another form of self-mutilation) should be understood as a psychological ailment needing treatment; not as a “choice”.
