Does history repeat itself? Since the beginning of time, women have always been judged harshly and have had certain standards and requirements held against them, which are presented to the public community as expected behavior for women. Women have fought for independence and rights throughout history and currently in some places around the world; where women are limited to certain activities, political and religious beliefs. The “Pill” and Plan B, oral contraceptive pills or also known as birth control pills, have contributed immensely to the dramatic change in the social and sexual landscape in the United States and other countries around the world. It has forever changed the fate of women where they always strive to carry forward their life's thought and certainly empowered the woman but in many cases it seemed to have lowered the high class standards followed by women. The first contraceptive pill, namely The Pill, came onto the market in the 1960s. Distinct from other types of contraception of the time, it was reliable and administered by women themselves, allowing neither approval nor awareness of the woman's sexual partner. Women had finally gained power over their own fertility. The “pill” made the sexual revolution of the 1960s possible; although controversial, it certainly changed the consequences and morals of sexual activities. In the 19th century, having sex with a woman meant marriage and children in the future, but everything changed when birth control was introduced. Birth control has reduced the number of unwanted pregnancies and marriages. Before women could take full advantage of birth control and the freedom of the sexual revolution, it remained illegal in some states. In 1965 the Supreme Court ruled that Connecticut's 1879 anti-contraception law required men to have control over their fertility, but the meaning of the two drugs ironically seems to have a different meaning. meanings therefore first. Could it be that our society is getting used to the idea of ​​women and their rights as well as the role they play in our society today, or that our morals and beliefs have changed over time? Regardless, birth control and Plan B have changed our society and empowered women by allowing them to have a choice.
