Birth+Control+F+Period

The condom is invented in Egypt. Ancient drawings clearly depict men wearing Condoms. Meet the pessary. It's the earliest contraceptive device for women. Pessaries are objects or concoctions inserted into the vagina to block or kill sperm. **1734** Young Giacomo Girolamo Casanova begins his amorous career. He is among the first to use condoms to prevent pregnancy. Said to prefer condoms made from lamb intestine -- still the preferred material for natural gut condoms -- he also used linen condoms tied off with a ribbon. The U.S. Congress passes the Comstock laws. Written by dry goods merchant and anti-obscenity crusader Anthony Comstock, the law makes all forms of contraception illegal. The contraceptive industry continues to flourish -- but the devices are now sold to promote "feminine hygiene." Nineteen-year-old Margaret Sanger's mother dies at age 50, exhausted from giving birth to 11 children. Sanger becomes a nurse and aids survivors of botched abortions. Later she turns her attention to the development of better contraceptives. Her dream: A birth control pill. The most popular female contraceptive is Lysol disinfectant. Ads tout it as a feminine hygiene product, with testimonials from prominent European "doctors." The Searle drug company receives FDA approval for Enovid - the first birth control pill. "The Pill" revolutionizes contraception. It's 100% effective -- but has terrible side effects, including life-threatening blood clots. Eventually it's realized that the dose is 10 times too high. A T-shaped IUD is approved by the FDA, and other designs follow. These devices are inserted by doctors and provide birth control for up to 10 years. They fall out of favor after one - the Dalkon Shield - is found to cause pelvic inflammatory disease in some **1980s** The modern, low-dose, two- and three-phase birth control pills become available. **1992** The FDA approves the first hormone shot to prevent pregnancy for several months at a time -- Depo Provera.

Nixon was elected President in 1968 and re-elected again in 1972 against George McGovern, despite the fact that most reporters  and the public was very against him. This controversy about who voted for him, was one of the pieces of evidence that led to his involvement in the Watergate scandal. The Apollo 11 crew from left to right: Neil Armstrong, Commander; Michael Collins, command module pilot; and, Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot. -In President Kennedy's speech to Congress, on May 25, 1961, he expressed a concern that the United States was falling behind the Soviet Union in technology and prestige. He challenged the nation to put a man on the moon before the end of the decade. - Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr. landed on the surface of the Moon, with Neil A. Armstrong, in July 20th 1969. -Neil A. Armstrong took this picture of Aldrin on the moon - Since this accomplishment, there has been a lot of progress made in space exploration has since broadened the phrase to include other moons in the solar system as well -A camera in the Lunar Module provided live television coverage as Neil Armstrong climbed down the ladder to the surface of the moon. -The descent state provided the engine used to land on the moon. It had four legs, a storage area for experimental gear, and a ladder for the crew to climb down to the moon's surface. The descent module also served as the launch platform for the ascent module when it came time to leave. __** Watergate was originally a building in Washington  D.C.  that was robbed June 17, 2008  by 5 burglars. They were caught in the Democratic National Committee. This happened around Nixon’s 1972 re-election campaign, and eventually he began to be tied to the burglars.  Congress was given so much information that the Watergate instance was linked  to the elections that they began an investigation. Hearings and Conferences were held, and a 410-4 vote for Nixon being impeached. Although there were many debates and arguments about the impeachment, Nixon surprisingly resigned in August 9, 1974 . __** <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'MS Mincho'; mso-fareast-language: JA; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">The brash, heavy, and angry music movement that is Punk Rock grew from the hippy/disco peace and love days of the 60’s.
