“The Business of Birth Control,” produced by filmmakers Abby Epstein and Ricki Lake, has been released, it seems, at just the right time, as the New York Times writes about the continued struggles and push to make oral birth control pills available over-the-counter. Both sons were carried by the same surrogate mother.īeginning with “the pill” we began the process of decoupling sex from baby-making, so naturally I was excited to preview the new documentary film, “ The Business of Birth Control” based on Holly Grigg-Spall’s book, “ Sweetening the Pill.” I read Grigg-Spall’s book back in 2013 when it was released and full-disclosure, I contributed modestly to the crowd funder to make the film because I felt her book would make an informative documentary on the risks of contraception.

That’s why I’m so appreciative that Holly Grigg-Spall has joined me this week to discuss the contraceptive pill. This topic is so important and yet so rarely discussed.
