The DARK HISTORY Of Birth Control

Long before the pill became a symbol of choice and freedom, birth control was built on secrets, lies, and experiments done on bodies that never truly got to say “yes.” From dangerous early trials on poor and marginalized women to forced sterilisation laws and eugenics‑driven policies, the fight to control pregnancy has often gone hand in hand with attempts to control entire groups of people. Behind every neat little packet of pills and every “liberating” slogan sits a much darker truth: who got safe options, who got harmed in the name of progress, and who still pays the price for that history today.
