We've come a long way baby. I think. In 1952, Lucille Ball announced to the world (via her crazy, whacky TV personality Lucy Riccardo) that she was expecting. CBS would not let her use the word pregnant. Fast forward ... and I do mean fast ...

Sandra Fluke, a third-year student at Georgetown University Law School, spoke before a Democratic hearing about birth control.
