- Abstract
The article examines the measures conceived by researchers in delivering birth control through oral contraception, such as pills, in the U.S. Hormonal contraception aims to prevent pregnancy through the control of woman ovulation. It points out that oral contraceptive pills encounter increasing competition, though they are still considered as the most notable form of birth control. Meanwhile, male hormone manipulation prevents contraception preceding female Pill approval by over 20 years.
