1. I remember back in 1967

going to the Gyn for a checkup and a refill on my birth control pills. This was in Greenwich Village and the doc was affiliated with St. Vincent's hospital. He had been recently advised by the administration that he could not give any birth control devices or medication to unmarried women. I asked him if it would be better if I became pregnant? He had no answer to that.

Still amazed by that episode. Still amazed that there are people that want to go back to those times.
