This month marks the 50th anniversary of the Pill, and there’s been some interesting coverage of it by the media. Margaret Marsh, one of the first researchers granted access to the personal letters of the Pill’s co-developer, John Rock, discusses his Catholicism, among other Pill tidbits.

Ob/gyn Christiane Northrup goes over the more medical aspects of the Pill on the Huffington Post. One blogger reminds us of the theory that the Pill-induced standard of a monthly period is actually unnatural. And Time’s recent cover article was a nice review of the history of the Pill — that is, until we came to this line:
