[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Feminism succeeded to the extent it did because of birth control.   Women learned that they could control when they would be pregnant, allowing them to delay families, allowing them to get educations, allowing them sexual power.

Giving inexpensive or free access to birth control to poorer woman allows them to feel the positive effects of feminism too.

To Ms. Big Girl Panties above, you missed the point of women's liberation.  This is a Women's Liberation issue more than pure Feminism.[/quote]

THIS!!!  I cannot believe the number of women on here who cannot acknowledge their own privilege.  Many of us are successful because we were able to take control of our reproductive choices, largely because we had access to it and BECAUSE WE COULD AFFORD IT. I'm not fighting for access to free / inexpensive birth control because I can't shell out the $10 a month for it -- I'm fighting for it because there are many MANY women who CAN'T afford that and who deserve the opportunity to succeed.

Just the fact that men are fighting us so hard on this issue should tell you we are really on to something big here. [/quote]
