We're not much better than the general population. "The Pill" entered American life in 1960, abortion in 1973.

When I lived in Winona I used to climb the bluffs and especially loved taking misty photos of the low-hanging clouds or the groundfog that was always so pretty and mysterious in that region. :-)<br /><br />But yeah...it does make journaling difficult.
