Hey Buzzkills!   This week's episode is PACKED with all the action and info you need! We're celebrating Abortion Provider Appreciation Week, and AAF is out on the road doing the important work of showing our support for the heroes who keep abortion care alive. Dr. Ashley Jeanius, OB-GYN and abortion provider, joins us to talk about how she feels celebrated during this special week and how YOU can show love and support for the providers in your life. But that's not all! We dive into the latest battlefronts, starting with the Wisconsin State Supreme Court race—where billionaires are throwing money to protect the anti-abortion agenda. We break down the stakes and why it matters. Then, we move to Kansas, where a potential ballot initiative could radically change the state's Supreme Court appointments, opening the floodgates for dark money to flood the system. We can't let that happen! PLUS, we dodge a bullet when David Weldon's CDC Director nomination gets pulled—because we weren't about to let that disaster unfold. It's packed with rage, real talk, and the kind of info you can't afford to miss.  Scared? Got Questions about the continued assault on your reproductive rights? THE FBK LINES ARE OPEN!

Welcome to Protected: Adolescents & Contraception a TeamPeds Talks podcast series brought to you by the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP). Access to contraception and reproductive care is an essential aspect of adolescent-friendly health care services and to preventing teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and more — yet many teens face significant barriers. This podcast series is a call to action for pediatric focused clinicians who can contribute significantly to increasing access for this important aspect of adolescent health care. The focus of this series is to address multiple aspects of contraceptive care — from confidentiality to various available methods and provide clinical pearls to help improve access for adolescents regardless of setting. Each guest is most knowledgeable about the laws and policies of their own state and has brought this viewpoint into their conversation. It is important to maintain knowledge of your own local, state, and federal laws that relate to the provision of reproductive health services. Our host for this series is Alison Moriarty Daley, PhD, APRN, PPCNP-BC, FAAN, an adolescent clinician that spent nearly 30 years providing reproductive care to teens within primary care settings and educating nurse practitioner students to care for this population.  The idea for this podcast series came from recent work on a collaborative project for NAPNAP that addressed reproductive access for adolescents.  We felt that this series could help provide education to other nurse practitioners to help remove existing barriers and improve clinical care in this area.  In this episode we will discuss Emergency Contraception with our guest Dr. Mary Gallagher, DNP, MPH, CPNP-PC. This has been an exciting journey. Let's talk about it!

On January 28, 2021, a non-inferiority RCT was published in the NEJM, “Levonorgestrelvs Copper T Device for Emergency Contraception”. This study concluded that the LNG 52mg IUD was “noninferior” to the CopperT IUD for emergency BC up to 120 hours after ill-protected intercourse. Since that time, use of the LNG 52mg IUS has remained controversial with some organizations endorsing its use as EC while others take a more cautionary stance. Now, as a February 1, 2024, a new commentary in the Green Journal (Obstet Gynecol) is raising eyebrows regarding this. What's the controversy surrounding this? Is the LNG 52 mg IUS a reasonable option for emergency contraception? What does non-inferiority mean? In this episode, we will go through all of the data and put things in proper perspective. While gaps in evidence remain… There is plenty to draw an evidence-based opinion on. Curious? Listen in and find out more.

Please join us as we discuss the results of the randomized controlled trial, including the efficacy of levonorgestrel when taken with piroxicam and their potential to reduce EC failure.

In this episode, Erin Hart welcomes Jess Braverman, the legal director at Gender Justice, and Erin Maye Quade, Gender Justice Special Projects Advisor (and rising TikTok star). The team discusses Anderson v. Thrifty White, a lawsuit filed on behalf of Andrea Anderson, who was denied service when she sought to fill a prescription for emergency contraception. The complaint, filed in Aitkin County District Court in Minnesota's Ninth Judicial District, argues that Anderson's experience constitutes illegal discrimination based on sex, and that denying her service based on her pregnancy-related health care needs violates the Minnesota Human Rights Act. After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade earlier this summer, there has been a rise in pharmacists refusing to dispense contraception and emergency contraception to patients. With more than half of states working to ban access to safe, legal abortion care, access to prescription medications, including contraception, is more important than ever. Gender Justice hopes that a future victory in this case shows that people like our client, and countless others across the country who rely on their local pharmacies for birth control, cannot be discriminated against. ### Visit the "Gender Justice" Website here and "Unrestrict Minnesota" here.

Episode 129: Emergency ContraceptionBailey describes the available methods of emergency contraception in the United States. Written by Bailey Corona, MS4, American University of the Caribbean. Editing by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Definition. Emergency contraception refers to therapy used after intercourse to prevent pregnancy. The need for emergency contraception can happen for many reasons, such as a condom breaking or failure to use contraception. More than 11% of sexually active women in the United States between ages 15 and 44 reports using emergency contraception at least once. With such high demand, a multitude of options has become available to meet these needs. With so many options on the market, it may be difficult to decide which option best fits the needs of each individual, which makes it important for providers to have a clear understanding of the risks and benefits associated with each method. Emergency contraception may be commonly used by young patients as their main contraception method. Let's talk about the types of emergency contraception.Levonorgestrel-only (Plan B®).Levonorge'strel-only emergency contraception is the most popular option on the market today. More commonly known as “Plan-B”, this therapy works because of levonorgestrel's similar make-up to progesterone. Mechanism of action.High levels of progesterone delay follicular development so long as it is administered before the level of luteinizing hormone begin to rise. This gives contraceptive therapy of this class a therapeutic window of 72 hours which is the most limited window of all the methods discussed. Despite this shortcoming, Levonorgestrel contraception remains the most popular option because it can be purchased over the counter without the need of a physician and is available to women of all ages. Additionally, therapy includes only a single 1.5mg dose making noncompliance virtually non-existent. Side effects. Side effects include nausea in 12% of patients and headache in 19% of patients. According to one study, 16% of women reported self-resolving uterine bleeding within the first week after use.Selective progesterone modulators (Ella®).The second most commonly used form of emergency contraception are the selective progesterone receptor modulators or more widely known as Ella®. Mechanism of action.Treatment includes a single 30mg dose of ulipristal acetate, which inhibits follicular rupture even after the luteinizing hormone has begun to rise. Due to this mechanism of action, selective progesterone receptor modulators have a wider therapeutic window of 5 days.Side effects.Side effects resemble that of progesterone-only therapy, significant for nausea and headache. Treatment has 2 major barriers preventing it from being the most widely used. Firstly, efficacy is decreased in women with a BMI greater than 35, and secondly, treatment requires a prescription from a medical professional. Estrogen-progesterone combination.Estrogen-progesterone combination therapy is also a viable option for emergency contraception; however, it is no longer available as a dedicated product but can be made from a variety of oral contraceptives. Its decreased popularity is likely due to its increased incidence of nausea when compared to the other options available.Copper IUD.Lastly, Copper IUDs like Paragard can be used for emergency contraception despite not being FDA-approved for this purpose. Copper IUDs are highly effective if placed within 5 days of intercourse, but studies have shown therapy to be effective up to 10 days after. Mechanism of action.Copper IUDs prevent fertilization by altering sperm viability and oocyte-endometrium interaction. This method is the most invasive as it requires placement by a physician and carries the rare risk of uterine perforation, occurring in around 1/1000 IUD placements. That said, copper IUD placement carries with it the added benefit of continued contraception for 10 years. It is contraindicated, however, in patients with a history of heavy menstrual bleeding. FAQs about emergency contraception:Does increasing the availability of emergency contraception encourage risky sexual behavior?No, according to a systematic review by Maria Rodrigues, there was no significant increase in sexually risky behavior correlated with increased availability of emergency contraception.Rodriguez MI, et al.What is the greatest barrier to emergency contraception use in the United States?Education. A study by Abbott J, et al, interviewed adolescents receiving care in urban emergency rooms. The study showed that only 64% of patients had ever heard of emergency contraception. By educating patients of reproductive age on what options may be available to them it is expected that there would be a decrease in unplanned pregnancies. Additionally, studies like “knowledge of emergency contraception among women aged 18-44 in California” by Foster DG have gone further to establish that women of lower socioeconomic status, foreign birth, or who have not graduated high school also have suboptimal education in emergency contraception.When should someone use emergency contraception?Treatment should begin as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse in order to ensure maximum efficacy. 3 days for Plan B, 5 days for Ella, and 10 days for IUD.How effective is emergency contraception?The answer to this question differs based upon what method a patient decides to useIUDsA systematic review of 42 studies over a 35-year time period reports that pregnancy rates were between 0 and 2%.The efficacy of intrauterine devices for emergency contraception: a systematic review of 35 years of experience by Cleland K. et al. Oral regimens have been studied extensively and have shown that ulipristal acetate like Ella® are slightly more effective, showing a pregnancy rate of 1.4% and a rate of 2.2% in levonorgestrel-only pills like Plan B. Ulipristal acetate versus levonorgestrel for emergency contraception: a randomized non-inferiority trial and meta-analysis by Glacier AF.Do patients require follow up after use of emergency contraception?No. Only if there is a delay in the start of normal menses by greater than 1 week or if lower abdominal pain or persistent irregular bleeding develops.___________________Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 129 “Emergency Contraception.” Bailey explained that a pelvic exam is not needed in most cases before or after emergency contraception. Plan B® is available over the counter, while Ella® is available with a prescription. Copper IUD is not FDA-approved for emergency contraception, but evidence has shown it is an effective method. Dr. Arreaza suggested that, after learning more about emergency contraception, listeners can draw their own conclusions about the ethical dilemma of prescribing it to their patients. This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Bailey Corona.

This week on the Pro-Life America podcast, we discuss how Democrats are rallying against protecting babies born alive during abortions and calling it “extreme.” Meanwhile, new research by the Abortion Survivors Network reveals that 1,900+ children are “potentially” surviving abortions each year in the U.S. - contradicting claims from the left that abortion survivors are rare. And as some states are setting up to become abortion tourist hotspots, some pharmacies are expressing hesitation over offering the abortion pill in response to the FDA's decision last week. Topics Discussed:Democrats rally against protecting children born alive in abortions - calls it “extreme”'New research estimates 1,900+ children yearly are “potentially” surviving abortionsThe new industry of Abortion TourismWhy some pharmacies are hesitant about offering the abortion pillCVS Pharmacy sued for ending religious accommodations over abortifacients Links Mentioned:210 Democrats vote against bill requiring medical care for babies born alive after abortion attempt - Fox NewsNew data on abortion survival rate underscores urgency of life-saving legislation - FISM NewsVideo: Abortion Clinic Employees -- "Babies born alive daily."Sign Up for the Pro-Life Voice NewsletterSome major pharmacies are planning to dispense abortion pills, but not in every state - Wish TVCVS Pharmacy Sued for Firing Pro-Life Worker, Ending Religious Accommodations - ChurchLeaders.comBiden Signs Executive Order on Access to Abortion Services - SHRMRate & Review Our Podcast Have a topic you want to see discussed on the show?

There’s been a surge in the sales of emergency contraception in the wake of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade. The surge has led some major U.S. retailers to how much people can buy at once. The Federal Trade Commission is suing Walmart over its money transfer services, saying for years, Walmart did too little to combat fraudsters who used its services to receive payments in telemarketing scams. Marketplace Tech host Kimberly Adams joins us to discuss concerns about whether tech companies are sufficiently protecting data related to abortions and reproductive health.
