Boomers appeared because the war ended, not because there was a lack of pills.
Almost as if humans reproduce much faster during times of abundance and a pill specifically designed to stop human reproduction would cause a dramatic drop in human birth rates ๐ค
Both can contribute to the cause.
Every generation before Gen X was conceived without The Pill being available. The fact that it did not exist has nothing to do with why there were more Boomers than there were Greatest Generation or Silent Generation.
