Well, this is a rambling mess. Also, it's not only feminists who know how much access to birth control improved women's health.https://twitter.com/fdrlst/status/926246044202962944 …

It would probably be more now as nutrition is better and we recover from pregnancy faster. One way or another, birth needs to be controlled.

'Why are we focusing on enabling women not to get pregnant every year instead of focusing on asthma medication?' Is a ludicrous question.

If cover for asthma medication is lacking, you can address that without arguing that not being pregnant all the time isn't a health boon.

Of course, a lot of the disapproval for inclusion of birth control is the fear that it enables unmarried people to have lots of casual sex.

Even if this wasn't a shitty reason to oppose it, I'm not at all sure it's true. When having lots of casual sex, what you need is condoms.

Among my friends, anyway, the time to go on the pill is when you're in an exclusive long term relationship. Like marriage.

How many of those kids survived?

Depends at what time. Population increased before the black death so 2-3?
-
Although a lot more factors than that and I haven't looked into them all properly. Focus much more on religious history.

Another way of thinking about it is how many periods would a woman have had? Probably very few...
-
You do need to maintain a certain weight to ovulate & be in good health generally.
-
Indeed - I do think that the estimated 450 periods per lifetime women get now is a very, very modern thing for lots of reasons...
-
...increased fertile period of life due to nutrition and lifestyle is part of it - not being pregnant or breast feeding maybe more.
