In October 2002, The Kitsap County Health District
contracted with the Gilmore Research Corporation to conduct a telephone survey
of 590 women age 18-44, who had not been sterilized, about their birth control
use, and access to and utilization of family planning services. Table 2 describes
their health care use and reproductive health history. Nearly 8% of all the
women surveyed were currently pregnant and of those currently not pregnant, about
92% indicated they were not trying to get pregnant. Women were asked a series
of questions about their general health status, health care coverage and type,
and about their health care provider for birth control services (Table 2).

It seems there is a society in New York called the "Committee on Birth Control,"
and under the auspices of this committee a woman who was a teacher before she
was suspended for criticizing the Board of Education, recently called a meeting
of the "Scientistical" to discuss ways and means to put wheels under
this bill, and thus open our libraries and bookshops to translations of French,
Italian and German pamphlets reeking with paganism. France has eaten this
apple of the knowledge of evil, and in the first six months of 1914 when Europe
was still at peace the total number of births in that country was 381,398; a decrease
of 4,000 on the year 1913.

and progesterone make the uterus a hostile environment for an embryo by causing
a thinning of the uterine lining. That was 34 years ago.Although PP changed
their definition of pregnancy to mean implantation, pregnancy always has meant
'fertilization'. So, it seems from all reliable evidence, both the "Combined
Pill" (estrogen and progestin) and the "mini-pill" (progestin-only
Pill) can act as abortifacients, even though that is not what their marketed purpose
is. A peri-implantation effect would be the alteration of the endometrium,
such that a preembryo that reached the uterus was unable to successfully implant
into the endometrial lining of the uterus.

control is essential to women and families because it allows parents to plan for
their children. Contraceptives have a proven track record of enhancing the
health of women, preventing unintended pregnancy, and reducing the need for abortion.
Nearly half of all indemnity health insurance plans provide no coverage for prescription
birth control -- even when there is coverage for other medications. In June
2001, a federal district court in Seattle ruled in the case of Erickson v. Bartell
Drug Company that an employer's exclusion of prescription birth control is a violation
of federal law. Since 1998, 20 states have passed comprehensive laws or regulations
that address discrimination in private insurance coverage for birth control.

Birth control pills are effective after you have completed the first package of
pills. There may be an increased risk of breast cancer if taken more than
5 years. Start the new pack the following Sunday. If you miss your period
after the second pack see your doctor for advice. If any of the above things
happen, keep taking your birth control pills. You should also use a condom
as backup or not have intercourse until you start the next package of pills.
ECP is effective for up to 72 hours after having sex, but most effective if taken
immediately.

The patch is a new type of birth control method
that looks like a square Band-Aid. It contains hormone medicine similar to
birth control pills and is worn on your skin. When used correctly, it is as
effective as birth control pills in preventing pregnancy. The patch is a thin
square Band-Aid (less than 2 inches x 2 inches) that has hormone medicine in it.
For example, if you start the patch on day 1 of your cycle, the next time you
will change it is on cycle day 8 (week 2), then on cycle day 15 (week 3).
If your patch loosens, press down firmly along the edges of the patch with your
finger for about 10 seconds.

thin as a piece of tape, that delivers the same estrogen and progestin found in
a standard birth-control pill. The hormones pass from the patch through the
skin and into the bloodstream. It's waterproof and won't fall off; just find
a discreet place to stick it on your body, and change it once a week. Reproduction

On September 5, 2003, the FDA approved Seasonale, the first extended-cycle oral
Contraceptive. Seasonale is a 91 day regimen, taken daily, with 84 active
pills of 0.15 mg levonorgestrel/.0.03 mg of ethinyl estradiol, followed by 7 inactive
pills. Women can expect to have four menstrual periods per year while taking
Seasonale, but should expect to experience more bleeding or spotting between menstrual
periods when compared with oral contraceptives with a 28-day treatment cycle.
The chance of becoming pregnant is approximately 1.0% per year (one pregnancy
per 100 women per year of use) when the pills are used correctly and none are
missed. Your healthcare provider will be able to assess whether or not you
are a good candidate to take Seasonale.

The pill will not affect the quality or amount of breast milk or the health of

a birth control pill refill appointment when you have 2 packs of pills left.
If you have sex when you have not been taking your pill correctly, or if the back
up method fails (for example, the condom breaks), you should use emergency contraception
to prevent pregnancy. This educational material was developed by a team of

Many teenagers are curious about sex, but do not know the facts. A young woman
who is sexually active for 1 year and is not using birth control has a 90% chance
of getting pregnant. The best protection against HIV is not having sex (abstinence)
or using a latex male condom. The consequences of STDs can be severe---infertility
(not being able to have a child), cancer (of the cervix), and death (of HIV infection
and AIDS). Most health care providers recommend that teens use both a birth
control method and a latex condom to be safe. · Many teens are afraid
to use contraception because they fear it is dangerous.

pills and legal abortions enable single women to participate in sexual activity
with much lower risk of unwanted pregnancy or childbearing. An alternative
view is that these innovations cause more single women to participate in sexual
activities, reducing the bargaining power of women in marriage. In general,
young women value cohabitation less than young men because of the cost of unintended
pregnancy and childbearing. In the transferable framework used here, since
the largest value of cohabitation for a person is 1, all mature adults will marry.
There is no change in the fraction of young adults who cohabitate or the fraction
of young women who marry. Z.In case D, no young woman marries.

knowing that they are less likely to get pregnant while using birth control.
Throughout human history, fertility has been seen as a blessing from God.
That is why, if you are not in a committed, life-long relationship (marriage),
I strongly recommend that you seriously consider making the decision to stop having
sex. If you are married, I highly recommend the use of modern methods of Natural
Family Planning (NFP). NFP teaches a couple to understand and observe the
woman's natural signs of fertility and to use these observations to achieve or
avoid pregnancy.

Barrier methods are not as reliable in preventing pregnancy compared to birth
control pills and other hormonal contraceptives. The monthly shot (Lunelle),
the patch (Ortho Evra), and the vaginal ring (NuvaRing) also contain both estrogen
and progesterone. Because of their effects on milk supply, these contraceptives
should be avoided until the baby is at least six months old and eating solid foods

We recognize that the decision to use or not to use a method of birth control
is a very personal matter. However, since some birth control methods are abortifacient,
that is, they act to cause an abortion in the early days of pregnancy, this matter
needs to be addressed. When administered in large doses, it works by making
the uterine lining an inhospitable place for the fertilized egg to implant itself.
The use of birth control methods that are abortifacient, that is those that work
by causing a fertilized egg to abort, is inconsistent with the position taken
by the EFCA on abortion.

This type of birth control holds spermicide where it is most effective in stopping
sperm from reaching the uterus. Irregular or incorrect use may lead to pregnancy
and / or diseases that are passed by sex (intercourse). An IUD is a small,
T-shaped piece of plastic that is placed in to the womb (uterus) by your doctor.
IUDs contain either copper or a hormone that prevents pregnancy. The "pill"

Birth control methods help them do that. Some
are available without a doctor's prescription; others need a doctor's prescription

depending on their situation. Birth control pills, also known as oral contraceptives,
are a highly effective method of birth control for women when taken correctly.
The health practitioner will ask you some questions about your health and family
history. If you forget to take a pill, follow the instructions which come
in the package. The pill does not affect your ability to become pregnant in

Often referred to as "morning-after pills,"
emergency contraception (EC) pills are medications that include higher doses of
certain regular birth control pills that, when started within 72 hours of unprotected
sex, can reduce a woman's chance of becoming pregnant by up to 90 percent.
To address this problem, Planned Parenthood affiliates and Vox groups across the
country are participating in Back Up Your Birth Control, a public education campaign
to raise awareness about this safe backup method of birth control. You can
help spread the word about this important health care option for women by launching
an EC awareness campaign on your campus or in your community.

There are many ways to be close to your partner with no risk of getting pregnant
or getting an STD (sexually transmitted disease) or HIV, the AIDS virus. Condoms:
Condoms put on the erect penis keep semen from entering the vagina. For the
best protection against pregnancy, most STDs and HIV use a latex condom with a
waterbased lubricant. Spermicides kill sperm and come in foams, jellies, creams,
sponges and contraceptive film. Spermicides used alone do not protect against

These types of contraception prevent the release of an egg or prevent a fertilized

to keep the sperm from joining with the egg. They require a prescription and

physically stop sperm from meeting with an egg. Some prevent STIs, and most
can be purchased over the counter. May not be effective for women who weigh

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) - If it's true that women are loyal to their preferred
birth control method, they may want to consider cheating - the market is now teeming
with new, convenient alternatives. After a long period without innovation,
many drug companies and medical-products makers are introducing new devices and
hormone-delivery systems that make the venerable 40-year-old birth control pill
look downright oldfashioned. With options such as a contraceptive patch, vaginal
ring, monthly injections or an intrauterine device (IUD), women now have more

choices, said Ellen Daley, assistant professor at the University of South Florida's

Learning about birth control methods you or your
partner can use to prevent pregnancy and talking with your health care provider
are two good ways to get started. Some methods work better than others do
at preventing pregnancy. The Male Condom -- Condoms are called barrier methods
of birth control because they put up a block, or barrier, which keeps the sperm
from reaching the egg. Nonsurgical Sterilization (Essure Permanent Birth Control
System) -- This is the first non-surgical method of sterilizing women and was
approved by the Food and Drug Administration in November 2002. You may protect
yourself more against getting pregnant if you use a spermicide with a male condom,

Birth control means using a certain method, medicine and/ or device to prevent
pregnancy. Birth control methods like the pill, Depo-Provera shots, Norplant
and the IUD work almost all the time (99 percent of the time or more) if used
the right way. Other methods like the diaphragm, condoms (rubbers) or sperm-killing
foams and creams can work well but depend on you using them the right way every
time you have sex. Abstinence (not having sex) is the only way to prevent
pregnancy that works 100 percent of the time. What method you use depends
on if you have any health problems, how your partner, feels about birth control,
any side effects and how easy it is to use, among other things.

Oral contraceptive pills are approximately 99.6% effective in preventing pregnancy
if they are taken correctly. These hormones help to prevent pregnancy by stopping
ovulation, changing the lining of the uterus, and changing the cervical mucous.
These include a reduced incidence of benign ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy,
pelvic inflammatory disease, anemia, endometrial and ovarian cancer. If you
are concerned about your risk for developing breast cancer, please talk with your
health care provider. Second approach: start your first pack of pills on the

Oral contraceptives (OCs) are one of the most effective forms of reversible contraception
on the market. By lifting the prescription regulation of OCs and eliminating
the need to see a physician, the government would provide women with a safe and
effective birth control method at a lower cost and with no obligatory medical
checkpoint. Specifically, an increase in cardiovascular (CV) events, including
myocardial infarction, stroke and pulmonary embolism, in women over the age of
35 who smoke 15 or more cigarettes per day would likely occur.8 To measure this
increased risk, IWPR estimated the number of women among the 6.96 million new
users who would be contraindicated for OC use (i.e. heavy smokers over the age
of 35) and calculated the added cost to society based on their increased risk
of adverse events.

control is best for you. You must be sure you will be able to use it correctly
every time. You should also consider whether your chosen method will help
protect you from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). You can get started
using most methods without first having an exam. But, to ensure your good
health, we encourage you to be tested for infections and early signs of cancer.
Often called the "morning-after" pill, emergency contraception can prevent
pregnancy if taken within five days after unprotected intercourse.

Nearby school George Washington University has agreed to extend its Student Health
Insurance Plan to cover prescription contraceptive drugs following complaints
that the lack of such coverage constitutes gender discrimination under federal
and District statutes. GWU's decision to alter its prescription policy for
the 2002-03 academic year was the result of a formal complaint letter filed on
behalf of GWU Law School students by Planned Parenthood Federation of America,
Trial Lawyers for Public Justice and the National Women's Law Center last November.
"Consistent with our Catholic identity, Georgetown's student health plan
does not cover any reproductive or fertility services, including contraceptives,"
Julie Green Bataille, assistant vice president for communications, said.

First, ethical questions concern us personally, our
relations to our neighbor; pastoral questions concern the members of our congregations
and their ethical relations to their fellow men. To us pastors then such questions
are both ethical and pastoral: ethical, since we must of necessity be clear with
regard to them for our own person before we can enter upon a discussion of them
with those who are entrusted to our pastoral care; and pastoral, since they are
matters of concern to our members, persons whom we are called to assist in establishing
a proper relation to the various aspects of the world in which they live.

PP has progressed from being the Western world's number
one promoter and provider of contraception to being the number one provider and
promoter of induced abortion. "Ortho-Novum: a progestational effect on
the endometrium, interfering with implantation." Another argument proposed
by the proponents of the abortifacient nature of BCP is this: If the Pill has
no abortifacient (postfertilization) effect, then the reduction of intrauterine
pregnancies (IUPs) in Pill-takers should be identical to the reduction in the
rate of extrauterine (ectopic) pregnancies (EUPs) in Pill -takers. from the
petri dish to the womb, the most difficult technological step to accomplish in
that variety of artificial reproduction.

when it comes to permanent birth control: They can opt to undergo tubal ligation
or choose the Essure transcervical sterilization procedure. Women must use
backup contraception for three months, when a hysterosalpingogram evaluation ensures
that both of the microinserts are in the correct location and that both tubes
are blocked. "Our concept of Quick Start includes directly observed therapy,
not simply any-day start, for the positive impact of taking the first pill right
there with the encouragement of the provider," offers Westhoff. Family
planning providers now have new information on incidence of regret following sterilization.

Birth Control Pills, (BCPs), are also called Oral Contraceptive Pills. They
include treating endometriosis, pelvic pain, and irregular periods. BCPs are
also used to decrease the level of male hormones in your blood. They help
in the treatment of disorders caused by too many male hormones. The ovaries
need LH and FSH to produce female (estrogens) and male (androgens) hormones.
A common disorder that causes excess production of male hormones by the ovary
is PCOS. When taking BCPs, it is not unusual to have "breakthrough"
bleeding. BCPs can be used to reduce the level of the male hormones circulating
in your blood.

Modern concepts of "birth control" have
gained considerable social acceptance because of the movement started by Margaret
Sanger early in the 20th century. Birth control methods generally fall into
two types: those that prevent fertilization of the egg (conception) and those
that prevent implantation of the fertilized egg into the uterus (abortifacient).
These methods include surgical abortion by various means and at various stages
of fetal development, the intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD), the "mini
pill" (containing a progestin only), subcutaneous injection of estrogens
and progestins, the "morning after" pill (a high dose of estrogen or
progestin), and the new French abortifacient, RU-486. With some modern adaptations
such as temperature monitoring and testing of vaginal mucous, the prevention of
pregnancy by this method has been greatly enhanced.
