Podcasts about contraception

One of our dear listeners sent in this prompt: Episode idea: discussion of the growing movement among Protestants to entrust their fertility entirely to God (the quiver full movement), even sometimes in the presence of health issues, vs what is wise stewardship of our health if more pregnancies could endanger the life of the mother. I think I'm wording it badly, and it doesn't have to be an either or. I don't have a set position on either side, but I'd probably lean towards the "preserve the mother's health" side, in a prayerful Godly way.…and today we're discussing it!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/alternatively-formerly-conspiracy-pilled--6248227/support.Follow our new Bible Study Channel - No Wrong Questions on YouTube!https://www.youtube.com/@NoWrongQuestionsSupport the show, access all of our episodes ad free, and get bonus OVERDOSE episodes on LOCALS - https://alternatively.locals.comMERCH - https://conspiracypilled.com/collections/all Join the DISCORD - https://discord.gg/c8Acuz7vC9 Give this podcast a 5 Star Review - https://ratethispodcast.com/conspiracypilled Middleborne Arms – https://middlebornearms.comBecause swords are awesome!North Arrow Coffee- https://northarrowcoffee.co Use code CONSPIRACY10 to get 10% off your order! The Show — @_Alternatively on XAbby — @abbythelibb_ on X and InstagramLiz — @adelethelaptop on XJon — @Kn0tfersail on X

In this episode of Operation: Thriving Marriage, we tackle one of the most debated and often misunderstood topics in Christian marriage—contraception. With so many competing voices, from the cultural message of “do whatever you want,” to Catholic rejection of all forms of contraception, to nuanced Orthodox views, to the Protestant perspective of leaving the decision to the couple, it's easy to feel confused about what is right. We explore the history of contraception, from ancient methods in Egypt and Israel, through modern developments like the pill, to the legal and cultural shifts of the twentieth century. Along the way, we look at how concerns about immorality and family planning have shaped the conversation, and why simply dismissing contraception as wrong fails to recognize the complexities of marriage, health, and family dynamics.   The Bible does not directly address contraception, but it does affirm that sex within marriage is good and that children are a blessing. With modern medicine lowering child mortality and changing family realities, couples now face new responsibilities in making wise, prayerful decisions about family planning. We share our own story of choosing to have two children, taking into account health concerns, financial stewardship, and God's leading. Ultimately, contraception is a deeply personal issue, one that requires unity, prayer, and counsel within the Christian community. Our hope is that this conversation helps couples approach the topic with both wisdom and grace, strengthening not just their marriage but their faith as well.

In this episode, we tackle the question, “How to respond to charges of bigotry?” as we explore the complexities of faith and perception. Additionally, we delve into the issues surrounding contraception and discuss the reasons for not sharing a bed before marriage.

Like all of us, healthcare providers bring their biases to work. But if those biases result in a reduced level of care for their patients, how can we correct them?  An innovative experiment in three very different countries attempted to reduce bias in contraceptive care for women. Zachary Wagner of USC and Manisha Shah of UC Berkeley were two of a multidisciplinary team that implemented program and evaluated the results. They talk to Tim Phillips about how biases shape contraceptive care, the methods that can help us to understand why they arise, and the challenges of creating a program that can work in different cultural and religious settings.

Wegovy, (often referred to as Ozempic) was approved by the FDA in June 2021. Now that we have lived 4 years of a GLP frenzied hellscape, there must be new data on how well GLP1's work and how many lives they have saved. The numbers must be pretty impressive right? Hint: It's not impressive…not at all. Join me for part one of this deep dive into these (not so) new weight loss drugs where I share exactly how much weight people lose, if it improves their health (or worsens it), and all sorts of other nonsense that has been happening in the ensuing years after the press heralded Wegovy as a “game changer” that will “end” fatness. TW: for mentions of weight, mentions of children taking the drug and other general anti-fat ideas.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Eve Espey discuss the impact of the US Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v Wade. Dr. Espey explains that 41 states have abortion bans, with 12 states imposing total bans and 28 states restricting based on gestational duration. She highlights the increased maternal mortality and health risks due to these restrictions. She also emphasizes the need for continued advocacy and training for medical professionals in reproductive health care.    Key Takeaways: The overturning of Roe v Wade reversed about 50 years of women's reproductive rights. In many states, the Roe v Wade protections had been chipped away over the years, even before it was overturned.  Abortion bans are about more than abortion - they affect women's health care in areas of family planning, cancer screenings, and basic preventative health care. Contraception and abortion are integral parts of comprehensive women's health care.   "We do have a very energized group of people around this issue and much more scholarship and advocacy than in days past. So I would say we need to keep up the fight, and we need to keep supporting our learners to really understand why this care is so important and how to provide it." —  Dr. Eve Espey   Episode References:  Aid Access: https://aidaccess.org/en/  Reproductive Justice: https://www.sistersong.net/reproductive-justice    Connect with Dr. Eve Espey: Professional Bio: https://hsc.unm.edu/directory/espey-eve.html    Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net      Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

durée : 00:32:17 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Mathias Le Gargasson - La pilule contraceptive, qui émerge dans les années 1960, ne manque pas de créer le débat parmi les différentes religions, comme le montre cette table-ronde en 1966 avec des représentants religieux. Il y est question de pilule, de mariage sacré, de procréation et de perpétuation de l'humanité. - réalisation : Emily Vallat

Recent abortion figures were covered on the show yesterday, which showed that the number of women who had abortions in Ireland last year rose to 10,852, which is the highest they've been since abortion was legalised in 2019.This has brought up questions surrounding contraception. In Ireland, women aged 17-34 can avail of the Free Contraception Scheme, which offers a range of contraceptive services such as prescriptions, GP consultations, and fitting/removal of long-acting reversible contraception (LARCs).So, if we have these services, why are abortions on the rise?To discuss this further, Kieran is joined by Saoirse Hanley, Personal Finance Journalist, Irish Independent and Life Magazine Columnist, Sunday Independent, Dr Máire Finn, GP with Centric Health and Eleanor Hayward, Health editor at The Times.

00:00 – Jonathan's Lazy Introduction Jonathan explains why this episode is technically still daily content—because editing is a pain and Cody Akins is a godsend. 01:35 – The Boston Accent Strikes Again Ayla tries (and fails) a Boston accent, which Jonathan says sounds more like JLo from Queens. 04:41 – Southern Charm vs. New England Brash Ayla shares stories about her Southern coworker and how Boston people “just keep talking.” Jonathan tries to paddle back from calling her pushy. 08:26 – “Are You Jonathan Weir?” (Uh-oh.) Jonathan recalls getting recognized in a Walmart... by someone he blocked from the text line six years ago. Spoiler: It wasn't a friendly reunion. 09:13 – The Popeyes Meltdown Jonathan and Ayla analyze a viral video of a man screaming at a Popeyes employee for complimenting his wife. Is it gallant, unhinged, or both? 20:21 – “I Put an Extra Breast in There for You” The hypothetical woman-flirting-with-your-husband scenario spirals out of control—with chicken-based innuendo and all. 25:36 – Dog Contraception Is Just Food An unhinged but deeply logical conclusion: dogs would abandon mating for fried chicken. The future of pet birth control? 31:49 – Santa Fe Paid Someone Off Ayla and Jonathan are baffled by Santa Fe being ranked the top city in the U.S. and dive into conspiracy mode about the travel industry. 33:49 – The Great Bath Controversy Jonathan explains why he didn't shower before work: Finn was taking a bath, and he didn't want to ask Katie to stop it... so he powdered his head instead. 39:05 – Talcum Trauma and Butt Powder Ayla mishears “baby powder” and things take a very weird turn involving boofing, colon cancer, and Supreme Court confirmation hearings. 41:19 – The Worst Ways to Die Ayla says falling off a cliff is the worst way to go. Jonathan one-ups her with “scaphism,” which is somehow worse than it sounds. 44:44 – Why We Don't Torture Anymore (Mostly) They wrap up with a weirdly thoughtful reflection on how public executions were once family entertainment. You know, light stuff. 46:26 – Main Character Syndrome and Scratch-Offs Ayla compares Squid Game to real life. Jonathan admits he wouldn't even play—because he knows he'd die in round one.

Laura Beaton speaks with Emma Mason, lecturer in sexual and reproductive health, about the latest changes in contraceptive products in Australia. They outline key practice points for selecting appropriate contraception and managing adverse effects, as well as some useful resources to support the prescribing of contraceptives. Read the full paper by Emma and her co-author, Kirsten Black, in Australian Prescriber.

It's beefy one this week as Carl Kinsella and I discuss the political conversation coming out of Glastonbury, the latest from Gaza, Momdani's victory in the New York Mayoral Democratic Primary, yet more record numbers of people in emergency accomodation and why 'natural' contraceptive tracking apps might not be the way to go.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes, join the community on Patreon here.Join us in Connolly's of Leap on July 17th!

While we're on the last week of our summer break, we're bringing you one of our most popular episodes from the back catalogue.For over four decades, contraception was not just taboo in Ireland—it was illegal. From 1935 to 1979, selling contraceptives and even accessing information about family planning was strictly banned by the Irish government. These laws reshaped daily life, leaving couples unable to plan their families and forcing many to navigate relationships under the shadow of fear and uncertainty.In this episode, I talk to Dr. Laura Kelly from the University of Strathclyde, a leading authority on the history of contraception in Ireland. Laura reveals the origins of these bans, the motivations behind them, and the lasting consequences for Irish society.Next week, I return with the fascinating history exploring why Ireland institutionalised over 1% of its population in psychiatric hospitals and mental asylums.Find out more about Laura's research and publications here.

New Podcast Alert ‼️

“Vaccinating community cats creates a barrier to disease between wildlife, domestic animals, and people.” This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund. In this special webinar replay edition of the Community Cats Podcast, Brianna Lovell Myers of United Spay Alliance is joined by Dr. Bob Weedon, a leading expert in high-volume, high-quality spay/neuter and public health. Together, they delve into the synergistic relationship between trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNVR) and public health initiatives. Dr. Weedon shares compelling data illustrating how TNVR not only reduces shelter intake and euthanasia rates but also fortifies community immunity against rabies. He challenges anti-TNVR narratives using scientific evidence, such as the minimal risk of rabies transmission from cats and the misunderstood lifecycle of toxoplasmosis. A major highlight includes a recent pilot study proving the effectiveness of rabies vaccines in kittens under 12 weeks — a potential game-changer for field operations. This conversation is more than an academic discussion; it's a rallying cry for more integrated, humane, and scientifically-backed approaches to community cat care. Whether you're a vet, policymaker, or colony caretaker, you'll walk away with actionable insights and renewed motivation to champion TNVR.

Meet the Guest: Dr. Susan Caldwell Dr. Caldwell is a NAPRO-trained women’s health and fertility specialist, former birth control prescriber, and cradle Catholic who didn’t always agree with Church teaching... until science (and some divine nudging) got her attention. This episode is full of important info, but please remember: This isn’t medical advice. Talk to a trusted physician (preferably one who respects your faith and your fertility!) before making any health decisions. The Big Shift: From Pill-Pusher to Pro-Woman Doc Dr. Caldwell shares her eye-opening journey: -Took the Pill herself for 10 years, thinking it was “just what women do” to pursue professional goals. -Prescribed it for years without question...until she started seeing patterns: breast cancer, strokes, blood clots in young women. -She realized the risks weren’t “one in a million” flukes. They were dangerously underplayed. -When she actually looked into the science and pathophysiology, it blew her mind and opened her heart to what the Catholic Church had been saying all along. The Risks Are Real (And They're Not "Just Catholic") Here’s why any woman should be concerned: 1. It’s a Group 1 Carcinogen That’s the same level as cigarettes and asbestos. We don’t call that “healthcare.” 2. Mental Health Meltdown Taking birth control while your brain is still developing (under 25) can cause permanent anxiety and depression. 3. Damaged Fertility Many women who delay pregnancy find out too late that birth control sabotaged their fertility. 4. It Can Kill Babies Many forms of contraception don’t just prevent pregnancy; they can act as abortifacients. Little lives lost without anyone knowing. It’s Not Just About Morality. It’s About Mercy. Dr. Caldwell stopped prescribing the Pill... not just because of Church teaching, but because she couldn't, in good conscience, ignore the science anymore.She even apologized to patients she’d previously prescribed it to. Was it scary? Oh yeah. Did some patients walk away? For sure. But many stayed, listened, and even came back later with more questions. Seeds planted. Real Talk: Women Deserve Better Timmerie and Dr. Caldwell passionately argue that: -Contraception is bad medicine. -Women are not being told the truth about their bodies. -It's not “just a Catholic issue.” It’s a human dignity and health issue. -There ARE life-affirming, science-based alternatives (like NFP and NAPRO) that actually support women’s health. Share the Truth. Start the Conversation. Because women deserve to know the full story... not just the easy one. Know someone who’s on the Pill “just because”? Share this episode. You might be the spark that leads them to real freedom.
