Join April and Kimberly as they speak with Mike Gaskin, the author of "In The Name of The Pill".

The decades between saw The Pill linked to ailments as diverse as:

This book examines the powerful forces that came together to give us birth control before it was proven safe, exposes the deceptive used to keep us in the dark, and explores the numerous chronic and deadly ways women's health has been sacrificed "In The Name of The Pill".
