Podcasts about contraception

Adolescence is full of firsts. Big questions about bodies, safety and choices rise to the surface. Contraception can feel intimidating for teens and complex for pediatricians. However, it's also a powerful touchpoint to shape safety, confidence and long-term health. In this episode, we're unpacking the role pediatricians play in guiding teens through reproductive care, where pediatricians can transform a potentially awkward moment into an opportunity for empowerment.    For this discussion, we're joined by Tricia Huguelet, MD. She is the section chief of the Division of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology at Children's Hospital Colorado. In addition to being a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, she is the program director for the Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology Fellowship, and co-director of the Young Women Bleeding Disorders Program.  Some highlights from this episode include: When pediatricians should feel confident to prescribe contraception  How to handle consent and confidentiality  What methods would be best for each patient  Most common barriers to access  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org. 

John Seager, President and CEO of Population Connection, has authored numerous articles and op-eds on population growth and development.    Studies have shown, when given the choice, most women prefer to have smaller families and families want to make their own decisions. Soft power is critical to saving lives and free people from tyranny and disease. These efforts have been undercut by the decimation of USAID and withdrawal from the UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund. Population issues should not be pollical, but bipartisan as in the past.   The educational materials fit into each state's educational requirements to be objective and informative. Modern contraception is a transformative tool to help people plan their families. If there is a decline in population, according to a Goldman Sachs study, communities that lose population will also lose schools, hospitals and employment opportunities. The recent Republican bill will close hundreds of hospitals in the U.S.  

Mea Culpa welcomes back Scott Dworkin, Co-Founder and Lead Investigator of the Democratic Coalition and creator and host of The Dworkin Report. Dworkin is a proud member of #TheResistance and his original Dworkin Report helped uncover the Trump-Russia affair with the Democratic Coalition and explained it to a national audience on MSNBC well before Special Counsel Mueller's probe even began. Dworkin served as a Deputy Director for both the 2009 Presidential Inaugural Committee and 2012 Democratic National Convention. Scott was also a Senior Advisor on both the Draft Biden and Run Warren Run campaigns. Michael and Scott dig deep into the Supreme Court, January 6th and Clarence Thomas.

Friends, Lovers, Listeners. Happy Wednesday, Happy Hump Day and Happy Sex on the Peach Day. Here we are with the penultimate episode of Season 4 of Sex on the Peach, with the Season Finale coming on Xmas Eve, just in time to stop talking about sex out of respect for our dear old Virgin Mary. And given that this weeks conversation is all about contraception, The Virgin Mary is not a useful case study because bless her, all the divine intervention in the world couldn't prevent that pregnancy. For the rest of us, abstinence does actually remain a highly effective pregnancy prevention method. But for the majority of adults, sex is part of life, and so contraception is a really important conversation. So today we're going to talk about what works, what people pretend works, what no one warns you about, and why “hope” remains the most popular method in the UK. And this isn't a medical lecture. I'm not here to read out NHS leaflets in a calm voice while you dissociate. This is a reality check. Because one of the sexiest things you can bring to bed isn't just confidence, or enthusiasm. It's preparation. Here is...It's A NexplaNO From Me.Sex On The Peach is a completely inclusive, open, judgement free zone. However you identify - both in your gender and sexuality, whatever race, age, size, ability, religion you are - everyone is welcome here, and I hope that at some point in an episode we will touch on something you can relate to and resonate with.Please like, follow, share, review and subscribe to stay in the loop of all future episodes, and you can also follow me on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube @sexonthepeachcast.

Trouver la bonne contraception est souvent un vrai casse-tête. Pourtant, c'est un choix essentiel qui touche notre vie intime, sexuelle et notre santé. Pilule, capote, implant, vasectomie... il existe de nombreuses options.  Alors que la pilule est hyper populaire et a une efficacité de 99%, elle présente aussi une liste d'effets secondaires particulièrement indésirables. Le stérilet hormonal peut avoir de son côté une pose douloureuse tandis que le stérilet en cuivre est déconseillé pour les personnes ayant déjà des règles douloureuses. Quelles sont contraceptions sans hormone ? Un contraceptif est-il plus sûr qu'un autre ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez" ! Un podcast Bababam Originals, écrit et réalisé par Joanne Bourdin.

How should Christians approach contraception and family planning?Unless a Christian couple has taken the time to investigate contraceptive and family planning options, it can be hard to know what exists, what is safe, and what is ethical. In part one of this two-part episode, we address a listener's question about how to honor God in our approach to family planning. We discuss the predominant cultural narratives about contraception, how a Christian view is different, and why the fertility awareness method offers a unique wisdom in this area.Chapters:(0:00) Introductions: Listener Justin Has a Question(3:16) The Cultural Starting Point for Contraception(9:03) Strengths & Weaknesses of Protestant Thought(13:33) Reflecting on Our Assumptions about Birth Control(21:44) Jenn Newman Joins Us to Talk About Fertility Awareness

Une vaste analyse nationale vient de mettre en lumière un changement progressif mais profond dans les habitudes contraceptives des femmes en France. Sur les 15–49 ans, environ 6,7 millions utilisent une méthode contraceptive, soit près de la moitié de cette tranche d'âge. Mais ce qui frappe dans les données publiées par EPI-PHARE dans The Lancet Regional Health – Europe, c'est l'ampleur des évolutions observées au cours de la dernière décennie.La pilule reste, en apparence, la solution la plus répandue. Toutefois, son usage recule nettement. Les contraceptifs oraux combinés — ceux qui associent œstrogène et progestatif — dominaient largement au début des années 2010. En dix ans, leur nombre d'utilisatrices a chuté d'un tiers : ils ne concernent plus que 35 % des femmes, contre 54 % auparavant. Cette diminution tient autant aux interrogations sur les risques hormonaux qu'aux préférences nouvelles pour des méthodes demandant moins de vigilance au quotidien.Parallèlement, d'autres options gagnent du terrain. Le dispositif intra-utérin au cuivre, totalement dépourvu d'hormones, connaît une progression spectaculaire : son usage a doublé en dix ans. Même dynamique pour la pilule progestative seule, qui séduit de plus en plus, notamment les femmes autour de la trentaine. Aujourd'hui, une femme sur cinq opte pour l'une ou l'autre de ces alternatives. Et après 40 ans, le stérilet s'impose très majoritairement : une femme sur deux l'utilise.Ces transformations s'expliquent par un intérêt croissant pour des solutions jugées plus simples, mieux tolérées ou perçues comme plus sûres d'un point de vue hormonal. Les modifications du remboursement de certaines pilules, ainsi que l'arrivée de dispositifs plus variés, ont également orienté ces choix.Le système de prescription a lui aussi évolué. Les sages-femmes, quasiment absentes du paysage il y a encore dix ans, jouent désormais un rôle déterminant : elles assurent 13 % des prescriptions contraceptives, contribuant à améliorer l'accès aux soins, notamment dans les régions où les gynécologues sont rares. Les médecins généralistes, eux, restent des acteurs centraux, mais l'organisation s'avère plus distribuée qu'auparavant.L'étude rappelle toutefois qu'une partie des comportements échappe toujours aux bases de données, comme l'usage des préservatifs ou de la contraception d'urgence, encore mal captés dans les statistiques. Elle met également en évidence des disparités sociales persistantes, le stérilet étant davantage adopté dans les zones favorisées. Malgré cela, un constat s'impose : même si la pilule demeure en tête, la palette contraceptive des Françaises s'est largement diversifiée, chaque femme cherchant la solution la plus adaptée à sa santé, à son mode de vie et à ses priorités.

And we live twice as long. Go figure." - Esther PerelFor most of human history, sex was procreation and duty. Women's pleasure didn't matter. Marriage had nothing to do with desire. Then everything changed in just 60 years. Contraception freed women from the terror of pregnancy and death. The women's movement challenged ancient power structures. Suddenly we started marrying for butterflies and attraction, expecting those feelings to sustain us for decades. But here's what nobody prepared us for: research shows women get bored with monogamy much faster than men. Not because women want less sex, but because they want less of the boring sex that shows up in long-term relationships. The romance dies. The seduction disappears. Men think foreplay is five minutes before intercourse, but Esther explains that for women, foreplay actually starts at the end of the previous orgasm. It's the tease, the pacing, the way animals circle each other without overwhelming.This conversation strips away everything you thought you understood about desire in relationships. Esther walks through why sustaining passion with one person for 60 years is literally unprecedented in human history, and what actually kills desire in marriage. The plot disappears. The character gets stale. Couples stop seducing each other and wonder why the spark died. She reveals the essential ingredients that make eroticism possible, why women's desire needs romance and mystery to survive, and how most relationships accidentally destroy the very conditions that create turn-on. This isn't about trying harder or scheduling more date nights. It's about understanding that we're living through a grand experiment of humankind, asking for something no generation before us has successfully achieved, and most of us are doing it completely wrong.RetrySign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode I'm joined by Lyman Stone and Diana Fleischman for a debate on eugenics – specifically, Diana's argument that most people support ‘negative eugenic' policies to some degree, and that governments ought to go further by encouraging the use of sterilisation or long term contraception among, for instance, drug addicts.Lyman Stone is the Director of Research of the consulting firm Demographic Intelligence, the director of the Pronatalism Initiative at the Institute for Family Studies, and an author on Substack - Diana Fleischman is an evolutionary psychologist, Associate Research Professor at the University of New Mexico, and author of the Dissentient Substack - https://dissentient.substack.comDiscussed in the episode:* Diana's essay ‘You're probably a eugenicist' https://dissentient.substack.com/p/eugenicist* Shor, E., & Simchai, D.

Video link to this episode: https://youtu.be/jjk5K5Rp6e4A conversation on Orthodox Judaism and reproductive lawsToday I'm sitting down once again with Rabbi Ysoscher Katz, a guest many of you have asked to hear more from. Our earlier conversation about the Satmar Rebbe sparked such strong reactions that people stopped me on the street to talk about it. It became a real conversation starter — and this new interview opens the door to another set of complex, meaningful topics.This discussion is Part 1 of a two-part interview. Part 2 is now released for channel members and will soon be released for all. https://youtu.be/qMKonpTHj24In this episode, we explore reproductive halacha: Jewish legal thought on abortion, infertility, contraception, gender identity, sexual norms, and the wider landscape of ethical questions around them. The aim is a thoughtful, free-flowing conversation that makes room for nuance, real history, and lived experience.Rabbi Katz grew up in Hasidic Williamsburg and later left Hasidism while remaining within the Orthodox world. He has served as Senior Rabbi of the Prospect Heights Shul and is currently Chair of the Talmud Department at Yeshivat Chovevei Torah. Throughout his career, he has engaged with what he calls “cutting-edge issues” inside halachic discourse — including gender, sexual abuse, and other areas of communal tension.Many viewers also know his mother, Gita Katz, the sharp, unforgettable Hasidic woman featured in several of my videos. Rabbi Katz is her eldest, once considered a standout student in the Williamsburg community before charting his own path. Today he brings a rare mix of insider knowledge, rigorous training, and a willingness to tackle difficult conversations publicly. He also maintains an active presence on Facebook, where he moderates discussions that often get very heated.Rabbi Katz's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ysoscher.katzIf this conversation resonates, you may also enjoy these related interviews:Related Videos:Part 2 with Rabbi Katz (early release for channel members; coming soon to all viewers): https://youtu.be/qMKonpTHj24My earlier interview with Rabbi Katz on the Satmar Rebbe: https://youtu.be/8oVcC5z24c4My interview with Rabbi Katz's mother, Gita Katz (about her life): https://youtu.be/2saQ0LEwZXQA Hasidic woman's views on women's issues — my interview with Pearl (and yes… Pearl is Gita's close friend!) https://youtu.be/IaqonzHozVMA note of thanks:Many thanks to all of you who are able to support this channel.

November 12, 2025, is #ThxBirthControl Day-- a day to celebrate the multiple methods of contraceptive care that allow people to live their fullest lives and reach their dreams and goals. Monica Edwards, Senior Manager, Public Policy at Power to Decide and Tara Mancini, Public Policy Director at Power to Decide, sit down to talk with us about the magic of #ThxBirthControl Day, as well as the recent attacks that threaten our access to the contraception that helps shape our lives.Over 90% of adults agree that birth control should be legal. Three out of four voters believe that it should be easier to access. And nine and ten women of reproductive age have used birth control at some point in their life. Yet birth control faces ceaseless attacks including misinformation and disinformation, the creeping reclassification of contraception as ‘abortifacients,' and the withholding of funds from Title X grantees. Join the #ThxBirthControl online campaign to share your story and fight back against these attacks.Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Buy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

In the fifth episode of The Right to Decide, host Sophie in 't Veld speaks with Nicole Moran, Gender and SRHR Advisor, about a worrying trend spreading across Europe: the decline in contraceptive use among young people. Together, they explore how stigma, fake news, and a growing mistrust in healthcare providers are shaping young people's attitudes toward contraception. From misinformation spreading online to the absence of proper sex education in schools, we uncover why investing in education is essential to restore trust and protect young people's right to choose.

General pediatricians should feel empowered to initiate and manage contraception for their adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients. This episode will help listeners tailor counseling to each patient's priorities, weigh the benefits and drawbacks of different methods, and address emergency contraception.

In the early 1970s Mary ‘May' and Seamus ‘Shay' McGee were parents to four young children. On her second and third pregnancies, May had experienced complications so severe that her doctor advised that her life would be in danger if she had any more children.The GP prescribed a diaphragm and spermicidal jelly to help prevent pregnancy. These had to be imported and were seized by customs with the couple told that if they attempted to import contraceptive devices again, they could be prosecuted.The couple went to the High Court in 1972 in an attempt to overturn a 1935 ban on the importation of contraceptives.It was struck out and amid a tide of publicity, the couple appealed to the Supreme Court.In 1973 they won, with the judge overturning the 1935 Act which prohibited the importation of contraceptives, with the ruling paving the way for vastly improved reproductive choice for women.The case has been seen as a turning point in society's perception of the separation of the roles of church and State.May McGee, was 81 when she died peacefully at Beaumont Hospital in Tuesday surrounded by her family. Shay died in January 2024.Irish Times journalist Ellen Coyne explains the impact of the couple's brave decision to take on the State in a very different Ireland.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan. This podcast was edited to amend a reference to Seán MacBride. He was a member of the IRA, not the Provisional IRA. Hosted on Acast.

Contraception is designed to prevent untended pregnancies. Unintended pregnancies account for the majority of abortions. So it would seem that contraception reduces the number of abortions and that birth control is a blessing. But is that true? It's a disputed matter—especially among pro-lifers. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we answer the question: Is contraception a blessing or a curse? NOTE: On this episode, we discuss Dr. Edward Green's explanation of the concept of risk compensation. Dr. Green describes the phenomenon using the examples of HIV and sun exposure. We apply the principle to contraception and pregnancy. See this interview for more information: bbc.co.uk/blogs/ni/2009/03/aids_expert_who_defended_the_p.html

Send us a textMy guest on the podcast today is the wonderful Helen Taylor. Helen is 77 years old, a retired academic, and the author of Childless By Choice: The Meaning & Legacy Of A Childfree Life. It was absolutely fascinating to talk to a woman who went against the grain at a time when motherhood was not only expected, but really was seen as totally central to the lives of women. From a very young age, Helen decided not to have children, and in her new book she shares her reasons for choosing to remain childfree as well as the very complex feelings that have accompanied her choice. In our conversation, Helen tells me all about how her own mother's attitude towards motherhood impacted her choice to not have kids; we also talk about the issue of regret, we talk about how women without kids are still often seen as outliers, we talk about how families can come in all shapes and sizes, and Helen also shares her thoughts about the later stages of a child-free life. 02:15 Guest Introduction: Helen Taylor04:51 Helen's Early Life and Decision07:26 Impact of Societal Expectations11:39 Contraception and Abortion19:05 Challenging Family Pressures27:51 Redefining Family and Friendships30:45 The Legacy of a ChildFree Life31:08 Exploring Fulfillment Without Children35:13 Regret and the ChildFree Choice37:33 Grandparenting and Childcare Challenges39:33 Writing 'Childless by Choice'40:56 Reactions to the Book52:28 Alternative Families and Friendships54:16 Final Thoughts and Future Outlook57:54 Wrapping Up and How to ConnectBuy Helen's Book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Childless-Choice-Meaning-Legacy-Childfree/dp/1917523300Check out Helen's website: https://www.helen-taylor.co.uk/Support the showOrder my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Download my FREE PDF 'The Top 10 Answers To The Most Irritating Questions That Single People Get Asked On The Regular...& How To (Devilishly) Respond'?

What is “Onanism”? Cale examines Genesis 38, where we find the sordid tale of Judah and Tamar. Why is contraception wrong?

Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams address the irony of so-called “personhood laws” that claim to support a moral agenda while actually stripping citizens of bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom. Addressing the immorality of elevating the state-dictated privilege of zygotes above the constitutional rights of pregnant persons, this episode dives into the religious manipulation that underlies legal personhood strategies as used by anti-abortion lobbyists and ideologues. Taking Ohio as a model case, Kelley and Rev. Terry detail how special interest groups and the politicians in their pockets push personhood for embryos while ignoring the basic demands of living, breathing children and adults in unholy and altogether dangerous ways.   Links to discussed content:  Ohio Lawmakers reintroduce Fetal Personal Bill: https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/10/08/ohio-republican-lawmakers-look-to-regulate-abortion-push-against-constitutional-amendment/ Ohio GOP anti-abortion politics resurface at Statehouse after a few years in retreat: https://signalohio.org/ohio-gop-anti-abortion-politics-resurface-at-statehouse/ House Bill 370: www.legislature.ohio.gov/legislation/136/hb370/documents HB 370 Text: https://search-prod.lis.state.oh.us/api/v2/general_assembly_136/legislation/hb370/00_IN/pdf/ When Fetuses Gain Personhood: Understanding the Impact on IVF, Contraception, Medical Treatment, Criminal Law, Child Support, and Beyond: www.pregnancyjusticeus.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/fetal-personhood-with-appendix-UPDATED-1.pdf Ohio's Largest Bribery Scheme: www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/07/22/ohio-house-speaker-arrested-republican/ How 'fetal personhood' in Alabama's IVF ruling evolved from fringe to mainstream: www.npr.org/2024/03/14/1238102768/fetal-personhood-alabama-ivf Killing the Black Body, by Dorothy Roberts: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/155575/killing-the-black-body-by-dorothy-roberts/ Personhood Measures Issue Brief: www.acog.org/advocacy/abortion-is-essential/trending-issues/issue-brief-personhood-measures Kipling, the 'White Man's Burden,' and U.S. Imperialism: https://monthlyreview.org/articles/kipling-the-white-mans-burden-and-u-s-imperialism/ Music by Korbin Jones

This week, Bex & Laura dive deep into the fascinating (and sometimes downright confusing) world of the menstrual cycle, ovulation, and fertility. Whether you're trying to maximise your chances of conceiving, wanting to learn a little more about your lovely lady bod, or just wondering what the bloody hell cervical mucus is all about — this one's for you.Together with their guest Hannah Pearn, fertility acupuncturist, they unpack the phases of the cycle and talk about what's really happening each month. From spotting the signs of ovulation to understanding the role of our old pal cervical mucus, it's all about getting to know your body better — without the shame, stigma, or medical jargon.They also explore how technology can help (and sometimes stress us out) when tracking fertility, how contraception and age can affect your chances of conception, and the importance of managing expectations — because despite what we're told, getting pregnant isn't always as straightforward as we think.It's educational, honest, and full of those “why did no one ever tell me this before?!” moments.Takeaways:The menstrual cycle is key to understanding fertility.Ovulation usually happens between days 12 and 20 — but it can vary!Cervical mucus is one of the best indicators of fertility (don't be afraid to check it).Technology can be a great tool for tracking — but don't let it add pressure.Medications, infections, and contraception can all affect cervical mucus.Contraception can temporarily impact fertility and hormone balance.Looking after your general health supports reproductive health.Timing sex around ovulation can make a big difference when trying to conceive.Managing expectations helps reduce stress around conception.Hannah Pearn can be found here - https://hannahpearn.com/We are The Worst Girl Gang Ever Foundation. We're all about bringing people together who are going through the tough stuff — baby loss, infertility, and everything in between — and making sure no one has to face it alone. Our community is full of honesty, compassion, and real talk, offering support, understanding, and hope when it's needed most.
