I just wanted to say that free contraception in the UK is rad. I'm so sorry America probably won't have this for another 50-60 years, if ever. Oh well, at least we (American "we") are legalizing weed, though that probably won't happen in Louisiana until free contraception, so probably never. Still, it's always nice when things that were once taboo to discuss become untaboo. My mom wanted to give me the pill when I was pretty young. Generally, I was indifferent to whether it happened or not. She told my friends' moms that she was doing that, and they all initially had at least some level of moral objection, but shortly after I got it, my friends got it too, and they were a good deal more appreciative than I was.
As for weed, that was something I never discussed with my mom unless we were talking about my dad's repeated involvement with it. For all I knew, she didn't like it because it made my dad a worse person, or something. Personally, I think it was just another easy detail to add to a long list, just something to make that list seem more substantial. Since I moved to the UK, however, she's smoked weed a few times. Figures.
