From the Paper:

"The popularity of the birth control pill brought the world into the sexual revolution. The easy access to birth control encouraged promiscuity, and eventually brought us into the women's movement in the 1970's. Women's freedom over their sexuality allows freedom of their financial independence. However the true beginning of the women's movement began as early as the 1920's. The possibility of contraceptives would not have been possible in the 1960's without the original women's movement in the 1920's. The purpose of this essay to describe how birth control has affected society, and the impact it had on the AIDS virus."
