    Extractions: Advertisement Contraception or birth control , refers to the many ways in which people control their reproductive capacity. One of the functions of intercourse is the furthering of the species. However, with the wide availability of contraception , sex has become unlinked from its purely biological capacity and has increasingly become, instead, a means of personal expression, intimacy, and enjoyment. We have come a long way from the days of ancient Egypt when women used to place crocodile dung in their vaginas as a primitive form of spermicide. Today, there many safe and effective birth control methods. Remember that making a decision about the form of contraception you will use is an important one and one in which you need to take several factors, including your own feelings, into account. The best form of birth control is the one that you will use effectively and consistently.

    Extractions: Birth Control Resources The information provided here is designed to help you make an informed decision about birth control. Only safe, appropriate methods that genuinely prevent conception are recommended. Whichever method of birth control you choose, remember that, aside from abstinence, all birth control methods sometimes fail, even if used properly and consistently. Nonetheless, if you are sexually active, good contraception can greatly reduce your chances of pregnancy. Unless otherwise noted, the statistics used here are gathered from studies of couples initiating a particular method of birth control for one year. Out of 100 women, the failure rate is the number of women who became pregnant using exclusively the birth control method indicated. Failure rates tend to be lower for couples who are married or have used the particular method of birth control in the past.

    Extractions: By SUSAN McCARTHY Photographs by Janssen-Ortho/Toronto, Canada T he world contains many museums of erotica (the largest is in Amsterdam), but just one Museum of Contraception. I was alerted to its existence by a paragraph in "Where TORONTO," a freebie magazine I found in a hotel room last May; the notice seemingly attracted no one but me. Skipping the Sky Dome, the CN Tower, and museums of ceramics, sugar, and shoes, I made an appointment to view the museum, located at the Janssen-Ortho Pharmaceutical Company, manufacturer of contraceptive products. I was the only visitor that day, alone and captivated. Although the museum consists of fewer than a dozen display cases in a quiet hallway, the cases are full of unusual, impressive objects and labels with sonorous language, all testifying to the utter human determination to unlink sex from its most obvious end. I took out my notebook and wrote "Occlusator Anticoncipiens et Prophylacticum." "Barbasco dioscorea composita." "Sanitary G.U. Bag." There were actual exhibits of contraceptive methods outlined in the Ebers Papyrus (1550 BCE), by Al-Razi (860-930) and Avicenna (980-1037). Acacia. Crocodile dung. Queen Anne's Lace.

    Extractions: POSITION STATEMENT ON EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION Founded in 1915, the American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) - a national medical organization of 10,000 women physicians - is dedicated to promoting women's health and furthering the professional development and well-being of women in medicine. AMWA's mission includes strong support of sound policies and programs to improve women's health. AMWA believes that the number of unintended pregnancies in the United States (3.2 million annually ) is unacceptably high and have a detrimental impact on women's health. AMWA should support programs that reduce the rate of unintended pregnancies, as these will improve women's health. About half (1.7 million annually) of unintended pregnancies are the result of contraceptive failure. Barrier methods of contraception have failure rates during the first year of typical use from 12% to 21%. Condoms and diaphragms can slip during use and an estimated 1.5% of condoms break. In addition to contraceptive failure, unintended pregnancies may result when women do not have control over the timing of sexual intercourse or the use of contraception.

    Extractions: (Quoting Humanae Vitae , an encyclical by Pope Paul VI) Contraception Contraception is considered a sin because it denies both the unitive and procreative aspects of sexual union. Contraception adds an artificial element to a natural, loving act, and in doing so, it removes God from the act of procreation. At the same time, the Catholic Church does NOT say you must have sex only to have children. The Church advocates the use of Natural Family Planning to regulate pregnancies: Periodic continence [abstinence], that is, the methods of birth regulation based on self-observation and the use of infertile periods, is in conformity with the objective criteria of morality. These methods respect the bodies of the spouses, encourage tenderness between them, and favor the education of an authentic freedom. ( Catechism Humanae Vitae: A Challenge to Love

    Extractions: The question we posed our teacher could be rephrased in this way: Would you rather have us wear dark clothes while robbing a house, or would you rather us spend 15 years in prison? A Confession about Contraception I have not always understood Catholic teaching on some points, largely because I formerly had little interest in understanding the teaching. Younger Days In theology class at my Catholic high school, a classmate of mine speaking on behalf of all of us asked our teacher: "Would you rather have people using contraception or would you rather have a bunch of pregnant teenagers?" "I’d rather have unmarried people staying out of bed," the teacher responded. This reaction and the way our question was worded demonstrated that we had become part of a society of ill morality. The question we posed our teacher could be rephrased in this way: Would you rather have us wear dark clothes while robbing a house, or would you rather us spend 15 years in prison? There is no right answer given those two choices. A moral theologian cannot answer such a question without a third option: "I’d rather you not sin."

    Extractions: What is birth control? Birth control means things you can do to ensure that pregnancy only happens if and when you want it to. Birth control can mean abstinence. Abstinence is deciding not to do something, and abstaining from having sexual intercourse will ensure that pregnancy does not occur. Birth control can also mean using a method of contraception to ensure that pregnancy does not occur when you do have sexual intercourse. What causes a girl to become pregnant? Having sexual intercourse ... when a boy's hard penis goes inside a girl's vagina - or even just touches the outside of her vagina ... is what leads to pregnancy. (There is more information on another page about having sexual intercourse for the first time Usually, sometime between the ages of 11 and 15, a girl begins to have periods. This shows that the ovaries have begun to produce eggs. An egg is released every month. If it does not meet up with sperm which comes out of the boy's penis during intercourse it dies. Then it leaves the body in the blood which comes out through the vagina during a girl's period every month. If a girl has sexual intercourse with a boy - and neither of them uses contraception, then the girl could become pregnant and a baby will begin to grow inside her womb.

    Extractions: November, 2002 Download this factsheet Contraception aims to prevent sexual intercourse from causing pregnancy. This factsheet outlines the non-hormonal methods. For more information on alternatives such as the pill, see the separate BUPA factsheet on hormonal contraception. Non-hormonal contraception works by either preventing sperm fertilising an egg, or preventing the implantation of a fertilised egg into the lining of the womb. The main methods are: These are physical barriers that stop the sperm coming into contact with the egg, thereby preventing fertilisation. A condom is a thin sheath, usually made out of latex, which is rolled onto an erect penis before sexual contact. They should not be used with an oil-based lubricant, such as Vaseline, because this can cause the latex to break down. Water-based lubricants, such as K-Y Jelly, and spermicidal creams or pessaries are safe. After sex, the condom should be checked for leaks and tears before being discarded (don’t flush condoms down the toilet). If there is a problem, emergency contraception (the "morning after" pill), may be needed. For more information on this, see the factsheet on hormonal contraception.

    Extractions: Male Contraception Information Project (MCIP) Elaine Lissner, MCIP Director We speak of a "contraceptive supermarket" for women - the concept that since no one method is right for everybody, a variety of methods should be available (Djerassi 1981). We argue that the pill's unsuitability for older women doesn't mean it should be kept from younger women; that the diaphragm is right for some women despite its messiness and restriction of spontaneity; that the sponge's relatively low effectiveness rate doesn't mean it should be taken off the shelf. But when we think about contraceptive availability this way and what contraceptive supermarket is available to men, the answer is that only three purely male methods exist - withdrawal, the condom, and vasectomy (male sterilization). This contrasts with the list for women- the diaphragm, the sponge, IUDs, the pill, cervical caps, "morning after" pills, Norplant, Depo Provera, natural methods, ovulation detectors, the female condom, foams, jellies, suppositories, sterilization, and more (Hatcher et al. 1990, Chap. 8). And when we consider that of the three male methods withdrawal has low effectiveness, the condom faces psychological resistance and a 3-15% failure rate, and vasectomy is not reliably reversible (Engelmann et al. 1990, Hargreave 1992), the selection for men seems paltry indeed. But there ARE more methods for men. They are just not widely known or widely available. Each has a clear advantage over current contraceptives (male and female) in one or more areas of safety, effectiveness, convenience, reversibility, and avoidance of surgery.

    Extractions: Emergency Contraception Must be used within 72 hours (3 days) of intercourse What is Emergency Contraception? Pregnancy can be prevented after intercourse by taking Emergency Contraceptive pills (EC). EC is commonly known as the "Morning After" Pill. It works by giving the body a short, high, burst of synthetic hormones. This disrupts hormone patterns needed for pregnancy. EC disturbs the ovaries and the development of the uterine lining, making pregnancy less likely. EC is used within 72 hours (3 days) after intercourse. It is most effective within the first 24 hours. Emergency Contraception reduces the risk of pregnancy by 75%. EC does not protect against reproductive tract infections, including HIV/AIDS. Use Cautions Side Effects Danger Signs ... Further References Use The first dose of EC is taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. The second dose is taken 12 hours later. EC may be taken after 72 hours, but its effectiveness is much lower. Plan B is one brand of EC. It has two progesterone pills. Birth control pills that have both estrogen and progesterone can also be used for EC. Choose only one type of pill to take for EC. The chart below contains the dosage information for some common brands of birth control pills. Some birth control packages have several different colors. It is important to take the exact color on this chart. Brands not listed have not been tested for their effectiveness.

    Extractions: IN REDUCING ABORTION F ollowing the 1994 election, which gave social conservatives a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years, emboldened leaders of the antiabortion movement began to campaign openly against government-subsidized family planning programs. In a preview of the legislative assaults to come against both the international and domestic programs, House Pro-Life Caucus Chairman Christopher Smith (R-NJ) declared in January 1995 that he opposed U.S.-supported family planning efforts abroad because they lead to "abortion activism" and, by implication, result in more rather than fewer abortions. In the two and a half years since Smith's comment, the proponents of this view have sowed sufficient doubt among enough policymakers about the role of family planning programs domestically and internationally to disrupt a decades-long political consensus. Previously, all but a very small minority considered self-evident the view that better access to and more effective use of contraceptives are necessary to reduce the incidence of abortion. Fundamentally, the relationship between contraceptive use and abortion is explained by a single phenomenon: the inexorable and universal trend toward couples' wanting, and having, smaller families and trying to time the birth of their children to best advantage. Acknowledgment of this reality is important, since an individual's decision to practice contraception or to have an abortion stems from this same goal.

    Extractions: Contraception in Michigan's Title X Programs By Joseph Winchester Brown and Matthew L. Boulton T he efficacy and potential side effects of emergency contraceptive pills have been documented. Until recently, however, the method was relatively obscure. Largely because opponents of the method equate it with abortion, pharmaceutical companies were reluctant to apply to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a license to package and market birth control pills specifically for emergency contraception; thus, the method consisted of off-label use of birth control pills, the number depending on the formulation used. Although some physicians have prescribed the method in this way since the 1970s, few studies have addressed the method's availability and dispensation, or providers' attitudes about it. But overall use of this method has been low, and for years, its characterization as the "nation's best-kept secret" seemed appropriate. Despite the lack of any licensing applications, the FDA's Reproductive Health Drug and Urologic Product Advisory Committee initiated action in June 1996 by unanimously declaring emergency contraceptive pills a safe and effective way to prevent pregnancy if taken in recommended dosages up to 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. In February 1997, the FDA published dosage information for six pill brands; although the agency stopped short of requiring pill manufacturers to relabel their products with instructions for emergency use, the notice was "intended to encourage manufacturers to make this additional contraceptive option available."
