Is it too Late to undo what the Birth Control Pill has Done?

The unintended consequence of widespread birth control — on individuals, families and society — cannot be denied.

Loneliness has become an “epidemic” in the world today, says scholar Mary Eberstadt, author of the 2013 book “Adam and Eve After the Pill."

“Fifty years after the embrace of the pill — undeniably, because of the embrace of the pill — loneliness is spreading across the materially better-off countries of the planet."

She expands on the themes of her new article, describing the “prophetic power” of “Humanae Vitae” (“On Human Life”), Pope Paul VI’s 1968 encyclical letter on birth control and married love...Paul VI’s encyclical foresaw what almost no one back then would have predicted: that the world after the sexual revolution would be rife with unprecedented problems, among them a general coarsening of standards, a coercive use of reproductive technologies by governments and a marked lowering of respect for women.

Eberstadt: Fifty years ago, there was a lot of understandable confusion about what the revolution would bring. The difference between 1968 and today is that we can no longer pretend the pro-revolution optimists were right. There are too many data points demonstrating otherwise.

Unprecedented rates of divorce, single parenthood and semi-orphaned children during the past half-century torpedo any case that the Pill helped marriage.

Lopez: How did the sexual revolution license predation and democratize sexual harassment?

Eberstadt: There have always been predatory men. But the Pill has acted as a game changer on their reach, expanding it exponentially. Both the scandals of recent months and the “#Me Too” movement itself are consequences of the revolution itself...

It's undeniable that hormonal birth control is designed to fool the female body into a state of false pregnancy, often on the verge of a false miscarrige as evidenced by months of intermittant unpredictable spotting, emotional depression and irritation and a dead libedo.

That's certainly no way for a new wife to start a marriage or, for that matter, for any wife to enjoy her marriage.

If you enjoy your own precious life, you're enjoying it in spite of the pill that could have killed you in the womb or more likely given your mom "the headache" on the fatefull day.
