Women on 20-day pills that combine a progestin (a synthetic that acts like a pregnancy hormone) with a minute quantity of estrogen react as though they were "a little bit pregnant."

When they got no reaction to random obscenities and a pat on her back, one grabbed her purse, running with it to the opposite side of the street where Primitivo and the others were gathered.
