The pill was just a new form of birth control. People have been using birth control for a very long time.

There are many other forms of birth control, and a RCC friend once told me Catholics have a special name for those who rely on them: "parents".

The pill (along with things like implants and IUDs), in contrast, was a revolutionary paradigm shift that turned contraception from something that might prevent pregnancy in 20% of couples using it over the course of a year into something that permitted women to prevent pregnancy reliably more than 95% of the time. Coupled with unrestricted abortion for those who fell in the remaining 5%, there is no meaningful comparison between the pill as birth control and any other mechanism.

Totally off subject, and bad dot connect. The abortion industry is not there to service those married couples who get pregnant by accident. Sure that happens, and sure some get abortions, but many also have the unplanned child anyway. On the whole, it does not make your point at all however.
