How many of you female readers take “the Pill”? This weekend “the Pill” celebrated it’s 50th anniversary. On May 9, 1960 the FDA officially approved the birth control pill for women.
According to Health.com, this magical pill was never meant to help women get jobs or control the size of a family. Many religious groups are still against using the contraceptive pill to prevent pregnancy. Some view the birth control pill as anti-life. This pill was meant to help women choose their own path, to finally be in charge of when they’d like to start a family, how many children they’d prefer to have and when they’d like to stop having children.

Japan and Switzerland are the oldest aged mothers who give birth to their first child at age 29. Women age 35 and older who give birth to their first child increased their age eight times since the 70s.
The National Center for Health Statistics concludes that the median age for first time mothers is crucial for influence on the growth of our future population. The mother’s age is important to document because it will help measure the birth weight and a possible birth defect outcome.
