Just to add to this: the withdrawal bleed also made the pill easier to accept for people with *traditional* views about women who believe that it's just wrong to NOT have a period once a month. Being able to prevent pregnancy and not have a period was just too much, so the withdrawal bleed was added in part to prevent people's heads from exploding ;)
