Aid Access

for American women gives access to a safe abortion by mail. in the U.S. Aid Access supplies the same two drugs you would take for a medication abortion in a U.S. clinic: mifepristone, which was approved by the FDA as an abortifacient in 2000, and misoprostol, which is also used to treat gastric ulcers. By the first half of 2001, 6 percent of abortions performed outside a hospital used the two medications, according to the Guttmacher Institute; by 2014, that figure was up to 31 percent. After a woman completes an evaluation of her medical history and verifies that she is less than 10 weeks pregnant and lives within one hour of medical help, Gomperts writes a prescription for mifepristone and misoprostol, which is filled and shipped by a pharmacy in India. Medication abortion is widely accepted as a low-risk procedure. Research has found that the rate of serious complicationsrequiring hospitalization is less than half of 1 percent when the drugs are taken in the first eight weeks of pregnancy, and FDA clinical trial data shows that failure to end the pregnancy happens in less than 1 percent of cases within 10 weeks.

Ancient Chinese Medicine Outright Blocks Sperm From Egg Regular birth control and Plan B all wrapped up in one method, and without any of the annoying side effects.

Inverse Science Magazine
Perfect Contraceptives - hormone-free, 100 % natural, resulted in no side effects. Researchers at U.C. Berkeley found a birth control that was hormone-free, 100 percent natural, resulted in no side effects, didn't harm either eggs nor sperm, could be used in the long-term or short-term, and -- perhaps the best part of all -- could be used either before or after conception, from ancient Chinese folk medicine... "Because these two plant compounds block fertilization at very, very low concentrations -- about 10 times lower than levels of levonorgestrel in Plan B -- they could be a new generation of emergency contraceptive we nicknamed 'molecular condoms,'" team leader Polina Lishko.
Here's how it works: In order to actually penetrate the egg, sperm need to whip their tails faster to pick up momentum. But there are two plant compounds that can prevent sperm from doing this, no matter how valiantly they may try — lupeol, found in mango and dandelion root, and pristimerin, from a plant called the “thunder god vine,” the leaves of which had been used as birth control in traditional Chinese medicine. The sperm and egg are never actually harmed; they're just never able to meet.

Antifertility Plants of the Pacific, which contains an index of plants used by native tribes in the Pacific islands and Asia as forms of birth control. She wondered if any of those plants might actually work by interfering with the progesterone-ABHD2 chemical reaction.

Emergency contraception pills for the "Morning After"

Get Emergency Contraception Now

Morning After Pill For All Ages is Legal
A federal judge in Brooklyn, New York, has ordered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to make the morning-after birth control pill available to people of any age without a prescription. U.S. District Court Judge Edward Korman said in his order, "The decisions of the Secretary with respect to Plan B One-Step and that of the FDA with respect to the Citizen Petition, which it had no choice but to deny, were arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable."

In the United States, there are currently 3 different brands of emergency contraceptive pills.

In the United States, morning after pills are available without prescription for women and men 15 and older. Just ask your pharmacist for Plan B One-Step or Next Choice. Be sure to call the pharmacy first to find out whether you need a prescription.

Find a Morning After Pill Provider Near You

In 2013 The government has lowered to 15 the age at which girls can buy the morning-after pill without a prescription.

And the Food and Drug Administration also says the emergency contraception no longer has to be kept behind pharmacy counters.

 

Call before you go to ensure that emergency contraception
(Plan B One-Step or Next Choice) is in stock.

The labels for Plan B and Next Choice say to take one pill within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse, and another pill 12 hours later. However,recent research has found that both pills can be taken at the same time. Research has also shown that that all of the brands listed here are effective when used within 120 hours after unprotected sex.

Abortion Clinic By State


Where to Buy: your local GENUARDI'S and Safeway Pharmacy.

Emergency contraceptive pills are more effective the sooner you take them. But remember that any of these pills can be taken up to 5 days after sex, if you want to prevent pregnancy.

Plan B One-Step PILL

Plan B One-Step is just one pill that you take as soon as possible after sex.

The Plan B One-Step label says to take one white pill within 72 hours after unprotected sex. This dose contains 1.5 mg of levonorgestrel. However, recent research indicates that it can be taken up to 120 hours after unprotected sex. The pill is more effective the sooner it is taken, so take Plan B One-Step as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse.

There are no restrictions against a person 18 or older buying multiple packages of Plan B at one time. Opponents of the age restriction have noted that it will be much easier for young women to get an older friend or relative to buy Plan B for them than to get a doctor's prescription (and cheaper, too).

Next Choice Pill

Next Choice is available for sale without prescription to women and men 17 and older, and or sale with prescription to women aged 16 and younger.

The Next Choice package instructions state that you should take 1 peach pill within 72 hours after unprotected sex and 1 more peach pill 12 hours later. Each dose contains 0.75 mg of levonorgestrel (the two pills are identical, so it does not matter which pill you take first). However, recent research indicates that both doses can be taken at the same time up to 120 hours after unprotected sex.

The pills are more effective the sooner they are taken, so take 2 Next Choice pills at the same time as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse.

It's ok to take both pills at the same time within 72 hours after sex.

Women on Waves - How Can I Get Misoprostol?

How to do an Abortion with Pills (misoprostol, cytotec)?
The best and safest way a woman can do an abortion herself until the 12th week of pregnancy is with the use of two medicines called Mifepristone (also known as the abortion pill, RU 486, Mifegyn, Mifeprex), and Misoprostol (also known as Cytotec, Arthrotec, Oxaprost, Cyprostol, Mibetec, Prostokos or Misotrol). If you live in a country where there is no access to safe abortion services and you would like to obtain a medical abortion with Mifepristone and Misoprostol, please go to Women on Web (www.womenonweb.org). Using Misoprostol (or Cytotec) alone to cause an abortion will be successful 90% of the time. If it is not effective the first time, you can try again after 3 days. The information is based on research by the World Health Organization.

INFO

FYI: There are nearly two dozen brands of pills that can be used for emergency contraception in the United States today.

Plan B One-Step, and Next Choice, contain just the hormone progestin, are the only products specifically approved and marketed here as emergency contraceptive pills.

Normal birth control pills have progestin in them.

You can also use a different dose of a number of brands of regular birth control pills. as emergency contraceptive pills but you need two doses.

You may already have a friend who uses birth control ask for some of her pills, use them for preventing pregnancy.

While these are not sold specifically as emergency contraceptive pills, they have been proven safe and effective for preventing pregnancy in the few days after sex. These daily birth control pills contain two hormones, progestin and estrogen.

You take the first dose as soon as possible (up to 120 hours after you have sex without using birth control, your birth control failed, or you were forced to have sex. Currently-marketed emergency contraceptives based on levonorgestrel are labeled for use within 72 hours or three days of intercourse.

The following states allow pharmacists to prescribe emergency contraceptive pills directly to women of any age, even those who are too young to buy Emergency Contraception over the counter:

Alaska, California, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Vermont, Washington State

Any government-issued identification that includes proof of age should be accepted by the pharmacist. Examples of government-issued identification include but are not limited to:

 

FDA approves ellaOne for emergency contraception
August 16, 2010 But is not currently available in the U.S.

HRA Pharma announced today that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted approval for ella(R) (ulipristal acetate) as a prescription-only emergency contraceptive indicated for use within 120 hours (five days) of unprotected intercourse or a known or suspected contraceptive failure. This ECP is the most effective option because it can work when taken closer to ovulation than levonorgestrel. Ulipristal acetate is particularly more likely than levonorgestrel to work when taken on the 4th or 5th day after unprotected sex. But remember that any of these pills can be taken up to 5 days after sex, and it is better to use any ECP than to do nothing if you want to prevent pregnancy.

Dr. Carola Eisenberg Nobel Peace Prize

Honored by Physicians for Human Rights Program was the 1997 co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for its International Campaign to Ban Landmines.

Dr. Carola Eisenberg, a founding member of PHR, has dedicated more than five decades to advancing human rights across the globe. Today, in her 90s, she is still teaching new generations of medical students about the vital connection between medicine and human rights, at Harvard Medical School. Among the many positions she has held, Dr. Eisenberg served as MIT's first female dean of student affairs and as the first female dean for student affairs at Harvard Medical School.
In the 1980s Dr. Eisenberg was among a group of physicians who traveled to El Salvador on a fact-finding mission. She will never forget the atrocities she witnessed: farms leveled by napalm; a woman with an entire phone book stuffed in her mouth; militia firing upon busy streets. "I never believed human beings could do such things to other human beings. It was like Dante's Inferno," Dr. Eisenberg recalls. After that trip, the doctors regrouped in a backyard in suburban Boston, where the idea for Physicians for Human Rights was born.
Dr. Eisenberg returned to El Salvador twice more; both times issuing first-hand reports on the effects of the civil war on civilians, which was used by both advocates and policymakers working to put an end to the violence. She also traveled to Chile at the height of the Pinochet regime to visit hospitals and prisons where doctors had been jailed. At one hospital, she remembers encountering a student protester with burns on 80 percent of her body. The young woman had been walking in the street with another student when they were splattered with kerosene from an open car window. A match was lit, engulfing them in flames before they were thrown in the car. She escaped, but her friend did not. Dr. Eisenberg helped transfer the young girl to Canada to receive medical care.
Dr. Eisenberg's commitment to human rights began at an early age, when, as a teenager in the 1930s in her native Argentina, she accompanied her father on a tour of the country's state psychiatric hospital.
What she witnessed there - 3,500 patients chained to their beds - fueled her activism.
She began working at the hospital and later became a psychiatric social worker, eventually enrolling in an almost exclusively all-male medical school in Argentina. This led to a fellowship at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where she later became an assistant professor of pediatrics and psychiatry.
In the mid-70s to early 80s, during Argentina's "Dirty War," Dr. Eisenberg was in the United States, afraid to speak out because her words could endanger the lives of her friends and family back home. A number of her friends already had been killed in broad daylight in Buenos Aires. So she instead channeled her moral outrage by tending to other war-torn countries, including Chile, El Salvador and Paraguay, where she could afford to be more outspoken.
Among the many positions she has held, Dr. Eisenberg served as MIT's first female dean of student affairs and as the first female dean for student affairs at Harvard Medical School. Today she is a lecturer in the Department of Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School, where she helped institute a course series on human rights with such classes as How Does Medicine Apply to Human Rights Issues? and Race, Health and Human Rights in the US.
In addition to her missions abroad, Dr. Eisenberg continues to be involved in PHR's network of doctors who provide examinations for political refugees seeking asylum from Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.

Congressional Birth Control Hearing Involves Exactly Zero People Who Have a Uterus
http://jezebel.com/

Today on Capitol Hill, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform assembled a panel to discuss the birth control mandate in President Obama's Affordable Care Act. Specifically, whether or not requiring insurers to cover birth control violates religious freedom of people who don't believe in science. The committee, chaired by a male, consisted of eight men who felt personally persecuted by the requirement.

< - >

Generally, listening to a Congressional hearing is listening to a bunch of incredibly annoying lawyers argue with each other, but this one is particularly offensive. It showed the particular brand of contempt, disdain, and dismissiveness with which the right wing and some religious leaders approach women's health. And until the government attempts to force Pfizer to develop morning after bacon or manufacture RU-486 in the shape of communion hosts, it's time for religious men to butt out.

REDUCE CRIME

As far as crime is concerned, it turns out that not all children are born equal. Not even close. Decades of studies have shown that a child born into an adverse family environment is far more likely than other children to become a criminal. And the millions of women most likely to have an abortion in the wake of Roe v. Wade—poor, unmarried, and teenage mothers for whom illegal abortions had been too expensive or too hard to get—were often models of adversity. They were the very women whose children, if born, would have been much more likely than average to become criminals. But because of Roe v. Wade, these children weren't being born. This powerful cause would have a drastic, distant effect: years later, just as these unborn children would have entered their criminal primes, the rate of crime began to plummet. It wasn't gun control or a strong economy or new police strategies that finally blunted the American crime wave. It was, among other factors, the reality that the pool of potential criminals had dramatically shrunk. Now, as the crime-drop experts (the former crime doomsayers) spun their theories to the media, how many times did they cite legalized abortion as a cause? Zero.
