The advent of "the pill" and other forms of birth control, the Women's Liberation movement, and the legalization of abortion in many countries are believed to have led to a wider practice of casual sex.[25][26][27] This is also due, in part, to the younger generation's rejection of their parents' dating and matrimonial ideals, and the rise of college party culture.[28] In response to this insurgence in the 1960s, single women were denied access to birth control pills by their healthcare providers.[29] This type of pushback is consistently observed throughout studies of the evolution of American sexual morals and beliefs. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9379.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9379.txt
