OT: Today marks 50 years since the FDA approved the Pill, marking the beginning of women’s liberation. Fittingly, it’s Mother’s Day!

Let’s celebrate a half century of women choosing when and how they will become mothers, and continue working to ensure that all women, everywhere, have children by choice— and a world where all children are loved and wanted.

This old maternity dress I’ve got
Is goin’ in the garbage
The clothes I’m wearin’ from now on
Won’t take up so much yardage
Miniskirts, hot pants and a few little fancy frills
Yeah I’m makin’ up for all those years
Since I’ve got the pill
I’m tired of all your crowin’
How you and your hens play
While holdin’ a couple in my arms
Another’s on the way
This chicken’s done tore up her nest
And I’m ready to make a deal
And ya can’t afford to turn it down
‘Cause you know I’ve got the pill
This incubator is overused
Because you’ve kept it filled
The feelin’ good comes easy now
Since I’ve got the pill
