The FDA approved Enovid (AKA “The Pill”) as a contraceptive on May 9, 1960. JFK became president months later. So, of course, pregnancy rates were much higher than now, as birth control pills became more easily available to women. RFK Jr. is an idiot.

Green Party level with the Labour Party for the first time. Let’s see if the media give the Greens as much coverage as they gave Farage when he didn’t even have MPs.
