    Happy 52nd birthday to the birth control pill! The pill has been named the most important scientific advance of the 20th century, and 52 years after gaining FDA-approval, the pill is still one of the most popular birth control methods around the world and here in the US. Interestingly, there is no definite date as to when to celebrate the pill's birthday. Yet, when the pill was approved by the FDA in 1960, more than half a million women were already taking it!...Read Full Post

    During her TEDxChange talk, she spoke of the Ursuline (LCWR) nuns who taught at her Dallas Catholic high school, nuns who “made service and social justice a high priority.” Through her work with the foundation, Gates said, “I believe that I’m applying the lessons that I learned in high school.” Within an hour of returning to her hotel, she received a message from some of those nuns. “It was fantastic,” she says, her eyes misting for a moment. “They said, ‘We’re all for you. We know this is a difficult issue to speak on, but we absolutely believe that you’re living under…

  • What's Wrong With My Pill Pack?

    10 May 2012 | 8:25 am
    Today, I received the following question from Emma, one of my contraception newsletter subscribers, "My doctor switched my pill from Femcon Fe to Loestrin 1/20 because I needed to be on a lower estrogen pill. I just picked up my pill pack from the pharmacy and it doesn't have any placebo pills. Is this normal? Also, do I have to wait to take the new pills, or can I start them right away?"...Read Full Post

  • The Thing to Wear?

    7 May 2012 | 12:55 pm
    So according to Japanese tradition, a kimono is considered a special robe that is worn by men, women and children. Interestingly, nowadays, kimonos are most often worn by women (usually on special occasions). The word kimono actually means a "thing to wear"... so I guess that it is an appropriate name for what may be considered one of the most desirable condoms to wear -- The Kimono MicroThin Condom....Read Full Post

  • Cinco de Mayo - A Celebration of Freedom and Liberty

    4 May 2012 | 7:25 pm
    Viva! Cinco de Mayo is a day that celebrates freedom and liberty. These are two ideals which Mexicans and Americans have fought shoulder to shoulder to protect, ever since the 5th of May, 1862. This Mexican festival should remind us how fortunate we are to live in a time where our personal freedoms are protected. This is especially true when it comes to our reproductive choices. Let this celebration stand for our liberty - to have choices over various contraceptive methods, so we can choose to prevent unintended pregnancies, and to remind us of the significance that Roe v. Wade played by…

    “Have you or one of your loved ones been killed from using our medicine? Call 1-800 OUR BAD, that’s 1-800 OUR BAD.” – Katt Williams (Drugs In America) I’ve started seeing the law firm commercials that entitle you to compensation if you have taken “Yaz/Yasmin.” Be aware that these companies do not recall a drug just because it is dangerous to the consumer, and these commercials are not arbitrary. Women taking the drug have had serious health complications from the drug and now they are taking legal action. If you are taking it, you are at risk. And the law firms are waiting in…

  • Sometimes the Truth is a Bitter Pill but it's Always a Better Pill

    8 May 2012 | 1:00 pm
    So once again the question has been raised of whether it is right to give young girls access to contraception and emergency contraception. Predictably, many are outraged at this, although it is unclear whether this is because of some misguided moral standpoint or merely based on jealousy that there are some people out there who are enjoying an active sex life. I can understand that some parents perhaps feel that they ought to be given the opportunity to support their children, but the truth is that young women (underage or not) need to be allowed to feel that they are in control of their own…

    A new law signed Monday by Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback lets pharmacists deny offering drugs they think could cause an abortion, The Wichita Eagle reports. Supporters of the Heath Care Rights of Conscience Act say it adds to a state law saying no one should have to participate in abortions. But critics say pharmacists potentially could decline requests for the “morning-after” pill and potentially...Source : The Kansas City Business JournalExplore : Business, Health, Morning-after Pill

    Earlier this year, presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney came out strongly against the Obama administration policy that will require health insurance plans to offer birth control coverage at no additional cost — one of the many important preventive health benefits women will receive as a result of Obamacare. In particular, Romney denounced the fact [...]Source : Think ProgressExplore : Emergency Contraception, Health, Health Care Policy, Politics, The Pill
