Quoted: Dr. John Preston Parry, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, added: â??No medication has come close to the birth control pill in terms of social, political and medical impact. In terms of career opportunities [for women], itâ??s had more of an impact than anything else. The proportion of women pursuing medical careers has gone from about 10 percent to close to 50 percent.â?
