My brother was born cause the Catholic dr wouldn't give my mom the pill in 1964. He's one day one year younger than me. Good thing my parents could afford us. Its still ridiculous she didn't the pill.

People today have no reason to complain about birth control, especially since abortion is being banned in many states. If it ain’t one thing, it’s another.

The fact that WOMEN in that age completely understood more than the majority of the men says a whole lot. What a bunch of absolute legends

You know things are bad when people in the 60’s in this video are more level-headed than fear-mongering conservatives today.

In 1965 women couldn't have bank accounts, and it was legal to be beaten and raped by the their husbands. These laws wouldn't change until 1970, and women only got bank accounts because they put their own money together to start their own.

All the women who had the responsibility of the children, totally understand why they would support the pill.

Honestly the biggest shock is the bachelor willing to admit he knows nothing about it and it’s none of his business 😅

Back then they couldn't afford to have too many children, nowadays we can't afford to have ANY, we can barely keep our pets and ourselves

Interesting we’ve gone from ‘can’t afford to have too many’ to ‘can’t afford them at all’.

It’s remarkable that today’s conservatives and Trumps Supreme Court nominees want to ban birth control, when even religious Catholics from 60 years ago were practical about it.
