AlterNet: Reproductive Justice and Gender: Low Expectations and Male Birth Control
Yes, a male birth control pill would have a market. Condoms are inconvenient and I think I would trust a guy to take a pill every day, they certainly trust me too.

Things are not that easy though, but a male birth control pill could even the playing field a little.
