This isn’t a prediction of some Rick Santorum-approved society. It’s simply what was dictated by law -- and not all that many years ago.
Listening to archival clips broadcast by CBC for International Women’s Day, I learned (among other, now equally absurd-seeming facts) that the birth control pill – even a prescription for oral contraceptives – was only made legal in Canada in 1969.
The slogan used to be, ‘You’ve come a long way, baby.’ I’ll say!
Especially when it comes to being able to decide: ‘No thank you, not a baby, not just now.’
