Meet The Clutch's Less Expensive Cousin
From The Loop 21 - In a twist of irony, Sunday not only marked Mother's Day, but the golden anniversary of one of the most popular forms of birth control: the pill. (If we're being honest here, I am sure that there are more than a few out there who owe this 50-year-old form of contraception almost as much gratitude as dear old mom for making the lives we lead possible in a whole different way, if you get my meaning.)
Yet 50 years after "the pill" was supposed to completely revolutionize how we approach sexual health and family planning, it hasn't, at least not entirely. According to the 'Wall Street Journal,' today nearly half of all pregnancies remain unplanned. Additionally, while I've written extensively about the fact that AIDS is the leading cause of death of young black women, one topic I haven't written about quite as much is the rise in out-of-wedlock births among black Americans. Though data shows that there remains a strong correlation between single motherhood and poverty, more than two-thirds of black children are born to single mothers. Any way you slice it, there seems to be a whole lot of people within the black community who aren't using any form of birth control. The question is why?
