A review of Sweetening the Pill

October 15, 2013 by Andrea Mrozek 1 Comment

Read it, here:

Holly Grigg-Spall is a young woman who calls herself a feminist but who is deeply unpopular with some of the sisterhood right now. English, 30-ish, married to an American and living in California, she has written a book criticising the contraceptive pill. Actually, Sweetening the Pill: Or How We Got Hooked On Hormonal Birth Control is more than critical; it is a sweeping polemic against the pill and every form of hormonal contraception. Since this wonder drug is celebrated by mainstream feminists (Nancy Pelosi, Cecile Richards, Sandra Fluke…) as the great liberator of women, you can see why the others are peeved with her.

Information is power, and more information is getting out there on the harms of the Pill from all kinds of different sources.

    Driving home from my parent’s place last night, I was listening to one of the CBCs roundups of interviews they had done in the last while. I wish I could remember details better, but there was one by a man who was advocating for slower population growth. In it, he actually almost suggested that medical advances were a bad thing, because they made more people live to older ages, and he actually did say that we should not produce huge surpluses of food every year, because that will only create hungry people in the future. He was a huge advocate of publicly-funded contraception (could you tell?)

    I’d actually never heard it put so bluntly before. I didn’t really know if I wanted to yell at him or hug him for showing those true colours.
