I first put '50s, then figured surely many would be older still.

One of the worst is conveniently dated, mentioning 1950. And from what I can tell, the ones dealing with vaginal "douches" (I'll never get used to that term) should be fairly old as well - seems that notion was getting outdated even before the '50s.
How do you know?
And as to that, I don't think most of the rest of the Western world has that much to talk about with regard to when they started taking women seriously... Britain and I suppose Canada definitely had issues with women of their own, as did most other places, albeit not always the same issues.
Most of those are from the 60s and early 70s. Never underestimate how backward the US can be on some issues (on one of the shows dealing with Women's Day a sociologue was pointing out, to put a comment about "progress" in the western world in perspective, that the US are still 30 years behind the leading nations in matters of gender equality and women rights. It's 2012 and they still don't have legal right to free contraception for any woman who wish it, the judicial process for sexual harassment/rape etc. in the US is nightmarish. And so on...)

So it's International Women's Day today.

Yes, yes, the US likes to be obstinate. Even so.

Yes, but "socialist American women" are usually the ugly ones that don't shave their armpits.

Once again: if the Pill is used to correct health problems IT IS NOT CONTRACEPTION

And... it's still the same pill, regardless of why it's being prescribed.

If the Catholic Church recognizes that exception, they would be well served to say so.

I don't give a flying fuck about the Catholic Church's position on this.
