The increased risk is slight but significant because blood clots can cause heart attacks, strokes and blockages in lungs or blood vessels, which can be fatal.

If you are a girl, once a month you probably suffer from totally unfair menstrual cramps. So what can you do about it? If you've tried Motrin, heating pads and other supposed fixes with no luck, there is one other solution, but it is certainly not a quick and easy fix. Not only can the birth control pill be difficult to attain if you are a teenager, but the stigma attached to it is also difficult to ignore.

The response to FINNRAGE, the effort to broaden out possible understandings of reproductive technology, have been rooted in feminist anthropology and the unexpectedly productive second career of Levi-Straussian kinship studies- rescued by feminist scholars such as Sarah Franklin from the attics where antique anthropological concepts are kept and used as a framework to explore the cultural meanings and fraught paradoxes of thinking reproduction.3 There are good reasons for the long shadow of the FINRRAGE position, continuing well after its descriptive inadequacy has become clear (women and feminists actually do seek out and even rejoice in the availability of reproductive technology, and to cal...
