Across the nation, pharmacists have come out as "conscientious objectors," refusing to dispense EC, and in some cases, any contraception, to women who come in with a prescription.

[John Menges] is representative of a growing segment of the pro-life movement that opposes contraception outright. "The right-to-life movement claims that the most commonly used forms of birthcontrol-the pill, the patch, the IUD, aren't contraception-they're abortion," says Cristina Page, author of How the ProChoice Movement Sav...
Hormonal contraception reduces the pain associated with the menstrual cycle and the amount of bleeding. For women who have heavy bleeding, the pill, the ring and to a lesser extent, the patch, can decrease blood flow and duration of the cycle. They can also decrease menstrual cramps. The Depo-Provera shot decreases bleeding and in many cases will stop menstrual bleeding after approximately nine months of use. With the Mirena IUD, 20 percent of women don't have a menstrual flow while most see a significant reduction in the amount of bleeding.

Oral contraceptives are known to reduce this type of cancer upwards of...

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg says "some very explicit, almost gruesome pictures may be necessary" on cigarette labels. The FDA is concerned about serious medical consequences of smoking, such as cancer, heart disease and strokes - and for good reason. Cigarettes have proved deadly. The images are part of a new campaign launched by the FDA and the Department of Health and Human Services in response to the 443,000 deaths per year caused by cigarette smoking. Shouldn't the same standards and cautions be applied to warning labels to alert women about diseases caused by "the pill" and all other forms of harmful hormonal contraception? After all, these deadly hormones are placed in the same category as cigarettes and asbestos by the International Agency ...

Women who use birth control patches like Ortho-Evra or contraceptive vaginal rings like NuvaRing have a heightened risk of blood clots, a new medical study has found. Women who use transdermal patches or vaginal rings for contraception have a 7.9 and 6.5 times increased risk of confirmed venous thrombosis compared with non-users of hormonal contraception of the same age," concluded a study released last week by the British Medical Journal.
