That is the title of the Barbara Seaman’s book about the Pill. (The Greatest Experiment Ever Performed on Women). When testing it, women died but no matter! They carried on. How these deaths translated into female empowerment continues to evade me.
If this letter writer is correct, something similar happened with RU-486. But legalize away, Canada! What’s a couple of dead women?
I think it was Natalie who was asking earlier where are the feminists when you need them? Indeed.

perhaps ‘feminists’ are not ‘for women’ or ‘for justice’ but for some mythical understanding of ‘power’ as in ‘I’ have power.
