0.7% of Women Need Birth Control

PBS Channel 9 in St. Louis, Missouri was just telling me that the development of Birth Control wasn't (their emphasis) a matter of a sexual revolution, but a matter of life and death. When the first birth control was developed, as many as 7 out of 1000 pregnancies resulted in the death of the mother.

A matter of Life and Death! 0.7% of women will die giving child birth. It's an epidemic.
