Governments that place obstacles http://www.crlp.org/ww_iss_contracept.html

Search by Region At the United Nations Africa Asia ... Violence Against Women Contraception A woman's ability to plan her reproductive life and her right be free from interference in reproductive decision-making are two fundamental aspects of reproductive self-determination. International instruments have defined the right to plan one's family as the right to determine freely and responsibly the number and spacing of one's children and to possess the information, education, and means necessary to do so. This right has been affirmed in international consensus documents adopted at UN conferences in recent decades, including the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) and the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women (Beijing Conference). In addition, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women explicitly urges states to ensure the right to family planning, information, counseling, and services. The right to plan one's family gives rise to a governmental duty to ensure that women and men have equal access to a full range of contraceptive choices and reproductive health services and that they have accurate information about sexual and reproductive health. Nearly 230 million women worldwide - 1 in 6 women of reproductive age - lack information on and access to a full range of contraceptive methods. More than one-third of all pregnancies - 80 million each year - are unwanted or mistimed. A full range of contraceptive methods includes: male and female condoms, vaginal barrier methods, oral contraceptives, implants, injectables, intrauterine devices, male and female sterilization, and emergency contraception (EC). Governments that place obstacles in the way of women's access to contraceptive choices - by strictly regulating or prohibiting contraceptive methods and information, or by requiring a husband's consent for the use of contraception - violate the right to family planning. For example, the World Health Organization (WHO) describes EC as a contraceptive method used by women in the first few days following unprotected intercourse to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Some conservative political and religious organizations seek to limit women's reproductive choices by inaccurately characterizing EC as abortion, when, in fact, the WHO considers it a safe contraceptive.

Home Search About Avert Donate here ... Links 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.

9. The Role Of Contraception In Reducing Abortion, 1998 Review of statistics on the relationship of contraceptive use to abortion rates. http://www.agi-usa.org/pubs/ib19.html

Issues in Brief THE ROLE OF CONTRACEPTION 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.

Now there is a museum dedicated to one of humankind's most persistent quests. Located just outside Toronto, Canada, The History of Contraception Museum is billed as one of a kind. With over 600 different I.U.D.'s, sponges, condoms and other contraceptive devices, the museum is certainly in a class by itself. "We started collecting back in the 1960's," explains Walter Masanic, Director of Public Affairs for Ortho-McNeil, Inc., the company that is responsible for the museum. "People weren't collecting then so we had items taken from a few doctors' offices. But then word spread and we started getting things from all over the world, Asia, Europe, South America, it's an international museum now." Next Page

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.

While birth control choices are highly individual, all methods of birth control have the same goal - to prevent pregnancy. Birth control methods range from mechanical methods that prevent sperm from entering the uterus, hormonal methods that prevent ovulation so that there is no egg to fertilize, or "natural" methods that require some human skill to perfect.

A Short History of Emergency Hormonal Contraception Emergency Contraceptive Pills (ECPs) around The World For several decades, ECPs have been prescribed to women to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse, in cases of unanticipated sexual activity, contraceptive failure, or sexual assault. The first documented cases of emergency post-coital contraception came in the 1960s with physicians helping victims of sexual assault reduce the risk of pregnancy. As recently as the early 1990s, almost one-third of ECP prescriptions were for rape victims. As the decade nears its close, there is growing acceptance in the medical community that emergency contraception should be made available to all women at risk of unintended pregnancy. The best-known ECP regimen is called the "Yuzpe Regimen," named for Canadian Professor A. Albert Yuzpe who, in 1974, published the first studies showing ECPs to be safe and effective. The Yuzpe regimen consists of two doses of oral contraceptive pills that combine the hormones estrogen and progestin. The first dose is taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse with the second dose following 12 hours later (which is why we use the term "emergency contraception" rather than the misleading popular phrase "morning-after pill").

Nearly one in four Americans has an STD. For decades, male latex condoms have played a key role in STD prevention efforts. MORE... Letter From the Editor Male latex condoms remain the most effective method of preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among sexually active men and women. The latest reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that while some STIs are in decline, others continue to increase.

20. Publications - Position Papers - Emergency Contraception American Medical Women's Association position paper supporting EC as an important option. http://www.amwa-doc.org/publications/Position_Papers/contraception.htm

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.
