À Lyon, une maison médicale opposée à la contraception
Dans la maison médicale La Présence, les médecins ne prescrivent pas de #contraception. Si la pratique est légale, l’établissement, créé à l’origine par une association catholique et «pro-vie», nuance en disant ne pas être totalement fermé à la prescription «si besoin»"."
Un article de Marie Allenou (Rue89Lyon)
"The Supreme Court appeared divided Wednesday in a case over whether states should be able to cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood, which comes amid a wider push from abortion opponents to defund the nation’s largest abortion provider."
How much does emergency contraception cost in your country over the counter? Asking because the more reliable one costs 40eur for a single dose in Germany.
"The United States is ending its financial support for family planning programs in developing countries, cutting nearly 50 million women off from access to contraception.
This policy change has attracted little attention amid the wholesale dismantling of American foreign aid, but it stands to have enormous implications, including more maternal deaths and an overall increase in poverty."

The United States was a key supplier of #contraceptives in many developing countries. The Trump administration has ended that support.

“The technology (sic: fertility apps) has been criticized by medical professionals who say it is not reliable to avoid pregnancy because menstrual cycles are unpredictable. Some are 28 days while others are shorter or longer. Stressors can also throw off timing.”

Often referred to as "fake clinics" or “unregulated pregnancy centers”, these are non-medical centers that provide free pregnancy tests & counseling, but typically do not offer essential #reproductive care like abortion or #contraception.

Je n’en parlerai pas demain lors du webinaire dans lequel j’interviens à l’invitation de l’Ecole des hautes études en santé publique #EHESP et au cours duquel il sera question de l’histoire des mobilisations pour la liberté de procréer à #rennes de 1965 à 1975.

Avant les années 1960-1970, les mouvements néo-malthusiens s’étaient mobilisés pour informer et convaincre sur la régulation des naissances et sur le choix d’avoir des enfants ou pas, à base d’arguments sur l’émancipation des femmes et des classes populaires et sur le temps libéré pour militer contre l’oppression. Avec joie j’ai trouvé trace dans les fonds des #archives départementales d’Ille-et-Vilaine d’une conférence donnée sur ce thème à #Fougeres le 14 decembre 1907 : https://millefeuillesdebretagnesite.wordpress.com/2025/03/08/conference-de-la-ligue-de-la-regeneration-humaine-a-fougeres-le-14-decembre-1907/ #contraception #anarchie #anarchisme #Librepensee #neomalthusianisme #histoire #histfem
So, on the opposite end, this #Michigan lawmaker chose #Sterilization, and is receiving #DeathThreats?!! This is truly insanity! Beyond #idiocracy!
Death threats follow Michigan Democratic lawmaker’s decision to have herself sterilized
Story by Andrew Roth, 2/11/2025
"Michigan state Rep. #LauriePohutsky (D-Livonia) said she’s received death threats after revealing during a rally last week that she underwent voluntary sterilization because she was concerned about the future of reproductive health care during President Donald Trump’s second term in office.
"Pohutsky’s comments during a #50501Movement rally in Lansing last week quickly spread across the internet, including among right wing media circles. The rally was part of a national movement that aimed to hold 50 protests in 50 states on one day.
"'I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate,' Pohutsky said during the rally, emphasizing that 'a sitting government official opted for voluntary sterilization because she was uncertain she would be able to access #contraception in the future.'
"Pohutsky’s social media profiles were quickly bombarded with hostile comments.
"In one voicemail left with her office, a caller says that “godless people” are going to be “eliminated” and warns Pohutsky that she is “on notice.”
"Some of the threats have been referred to law enforcement to investigate, Pohutsky said.
"Pohutsky said that U.S. Rep. #RashidaTlaib (D-Detroit) reached out to her after the speech gained traction online, noting that Tlaib is no stranger to viral moments or receiving threats.
"The speech also garnered the attention of conservatives on a national level, including Ben Shapiro, who said of Pohutsky, “So many broken people.”
"The fourth-term House member responded to Shapiro, saying “I think the broken people are the ones who are personally aggrieved by my personal health care decision.”
"Pohutsky said she and her husband decided last year that they were done having children and began exploring options for more permanent forms of birth control, citing her concern after Trump won the election about being able to continue to access the contraception she had been using."

@uichelorraine Ben c'est étrange mais il y a un truc de ce genre.

Coming soon - canned cakes. You will be able to store them for two years. Handbags that grow as you let out the strap handles are all the rage in Paris. For £56 you will soon be able to have garage doors that open when car headlights shine on them.

Saheli, a 'non-steroidal non-hormonal contraceptive pill'. Saheli dosage starts 1 pill per half-week for ... (?), then 1 pill weekly. Basically induce a brief, mini-menopause that stops when you stop the pills. https://saheliinfo.com/clinical-evidence
Then! ONE-YEAR vaginal ring Annovera. Unlike monthly-ish vaginal rings, (https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/6449/smpc) this thicker vaginal ring holds enough for 13 cycles with one week bleeding breaks, or 12 if you skip periods. Think "buff NuvaRing". https://www.annoverahcp.com/
Speaking of intra-uterine system / device options: the UK does several! We are no longer stuck with the larger, higher dose Mirena hIUS. https://www.mirena.co.uk/ I want the smaller, lower dose (but shorter duration) Jaydess https://www.fsrh.org/Public/Public/Documents/ceu-product-review-jaydess-apr-14.aspx or Kyleena. https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/769/smpc
(You can fit a non-hormonal IUD copper coil as emergency contraception, within 10 days of unprotected sex. Fitting it as regular birth control anytime otherwise is also fine, when not pregnant.) https://patient.info/sexual-health/long-acting-reversible-contraceptives-larc/intrauterine-contraceptive-device
Finally, vasectomy. New part is "I found multiple cases where doctors did their own vasectomies". This may be helpful for hesitant cis men and AMAB people to know. Vasectomies are reversible ("easily", according to a medical nerd friend, but obv different people's bodies respond to things in weird, cool ways, so everything depends). https://www.baus.org.uk/_userfiles/pages/files/Patients/Leaflets/Vasectomy.pdf
