Podcasts about Marie Stopes

Marie Stopes' “Mother's Clinic” opened its doors in Holloway, on March 17th, 1826. Stopes was a trailblazer, her birth control clinic providing working-class women with access to contraception and advice for the first time. However, her organisation's full name - "The Society for Constructive Birth Control and Racial Progress" - reveals her disturbing underlying belief in selective breeding for racial progress; a commitment that only strengthened as time went on, and she corresponded with Hitler. In this episode, The Retrospectors consider Stopes's pioneering work on female desire and sexual health in her bestselling book, "Married Love,"; explain how she pivoted from paleobotany to reproductive health and racism; and ask why Marie Stopes International waited until the 21st century to rebrand itself… Further Reading: • ‘Family planning in the 1920s: Marie Stopes and the ‘wise precaution of delay'' (The National Archives blog, 2022): https://blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20speople-family-planning-in-the-1920s-marie-stopes-and-the-wise-precaution-of-delay/ • ‘Marie Stopes: a turbo-Darwinist ranter, but right about birth control' (The Guardian, 2011): https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2011/sep/02/marie-stopes-right-birth-control • ‘Marie Stopes' Eugenics, Feminism and Birth Control' (Wellcome Collection, 2022): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPqog-EV9jI This episode originally aired in 2024 Love the show?

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Hearts of Oak, where today we delve deep into the heart of one of the most contentious debates of our time: the right to life. In this episode, we're joined by a distinguished guest, a medical doctor and researcher who has become a pivotal figure in the UK's pro-life movement.   Prepare for an insightful conversation as we explore his transformative journey from a pro-choice stance to becoming an ardent advocate for the unborn, driven by scientific evidence and ethical reasoning. We'll discuss the current cultural landscape in the UK, where despite a prevailing pro-choice sentiment, a new wave of youthful pro-life activism is emerging, challenging the status quo.   This episode promises to unravel: The ethical and scientific arguments for when life begins. The role of religious beliefs in the pro-life movement. Why there's a growing disconnect between UK law and public opinion on abortion. How the pro-life movement is evolving, engaging with media, politics, and church leaders to drive change. Join us as we navigate through these complex issues, understanding the motivations behind one man's mission to change hearts and minds, and why he believes now more than ever, the pro-life message needs to be heard.   This is not just a debate; it's a call to action, a challenge to think, and a journey into the heart of what it means to champion life in all its vulnerability and potential.   Tune in, and let's challenge the tide together. *Special thanks to Bosch Fawstin for recording our intro/outro on this podcast.

Therefore, this interview may not be suitable for your children. Parental discretion is advised. In Britain in 1921, a eugenic society was founded to create a race of well-formed, well-endowed, beautiful men and women. The Society for Constructive Birth Control and Racial Progress, founded by Marie Stopes (later known as the UK's Margaret Sanger) aimed to increase the offspring of the wise, healthy and well-to-do while reducing the progeny of the poor, weak and unemployed. It lobbied Parliament to pass laws to compulsorily sterilize "undesirables" and set up a clinic to achieve the "reduction of the birth rate at the wrong part and increase of the birth rate at the right end of the social scale." Marie Stopes was opposed by a Catholic, Dr. Halliday Sutherland, who fought her all the way to the highest courts and won, but Stopes' work lives on, though the eugenicists of today have changed their name and mask their agendas with promises of paradise, convenience, and the greater good. The connection between these early eugenics societies and the bill and Melinda Gates foundation is absolute. This is not the first time that evil in power has attempted to reduce the global population. Nor was it the first time in 1921, but though the cult of death back then was in its nascent stages, its true goals could already be discovered: “good breeding” means eugenics; “good death”, euthanasia. In this Underground Interview, Michael Matt brings in Mark Sutherland, grandson of Dr. Halliday Sutherland, to help you fully grasp the nuances and agenda of the Death Culture Vultures, to recognize their handiwork in so many facets of our modern society, and to open the forum to the discussions which must take place if we are to fight back effectively. Contact Mark Sutherland on X (formerly Twitter) to request speaking engagements. His handle is: @MarkHSutherland Mark Sutherland is a facilitator and executive coach who lives with his wife and son in Sydney. Educated at Ampleforth College in North Yorkshire, Mark has worked in banking, financial services and investment. He also served in the British Army's oldest regiment, the Honourable Artillery Company, in London. Mark is the author (with Neil Sutherland) of Exterminating Poverty: The true story of the eugenic plan to get rid of the poor, and the Scottish doctor who fought against it. Mark's highest qualification is a master's degree from the Australian Graduate School of Management. He curates and writes articles for hallidaysutherland.com a website celebrating the life and work of Dr Halliday Sutherland. Exterminating Poverty is his first book.

In Pleasure and Efficacy: Of Pen Names, Cover Versions, and Other Trans Techniques (Princeton UP, 2023), Grace Lavery investigates gender transition as it has been experienced and represented in the modern period. Considering examples that range from the novels of George Eliot to the psychoanalytic practice of Sigmund Freud to marriage manuals by Marie Stopes, Lavery explores the skepticism found in such works about whether it is truly possible to change one's sex. This ambivalence, she argues, has contributed to both anti-trans oppression and the civil rights claims with which trans people have confronted it. Lavery examines what she terms "trans pragmatism"--the ways that trans people resist medicalization and pathologization to achieve pleasure and freedom. Trans pragmatism, she writes, affirms that transition works, that it is possible, and that it happens. With Eliot and Freud as the guiding geniuses of the book, Lavery covers a vast range of modern culture--poetry, prose, criticism, philosophy, fiction, cinema, pop music, pornography, and memes. Since transition takes people out of one genre and deposits them in another, she suggests, it should be no surprise that a cultural history of gender transition will also provide, by accident, a history of genre transition. Considering the concept of technique and its associations with feminine craftiness, as opposed to masculine freedom, Lavery argues that techniques of giving and receiving pleasure are essential to the possibility of trans feminist thriving--even as they are suppressed by patriarchal and antitrans feminist philosophies. Contesting claims for the impossibility of transition, she offers a counterhistory of tricks and techniques, passed on by women to women, that comprises a body of knowledge written in the margins of history.

Why would someone disown their son over a pair of glasses? How could an unmarried woman in 1918 have published a book about sexual pleasure? And what is an appropriate gift for a newlywed prince and princess? Today, we're looking at the complicated woman who was Marie Stopes - family planning pioneer on one hand, very problematic eugenicist on the other.Kate is joined once again by Deborah Cohen to explore Stopes' life and influence.*WARNING there are discussions of eugenics, adult words and themes in this episode*Produced by Charlotte Long and Sophie Gee.

Marie Stopes shook the world. She wrote a best-selling sex-manual for women and was a controversial birth control pioneer. Weirdly, she didn't have a background in medicine. She actually studied plants, coal, minerals, etc. before opening her first "Planned Parenthood" style clinic in England. The MSI Reproductive Choices clinics quickly spread across the world and are still active today. On a darker note, she also corresponded with Hitler and believed in the creation of a super race.   Follow us: @homance_chronicles Email us: homancepodcast@gmail.com Connect with us: https://linktr.ee/homance

Earlier this year the US Supreme Court overturned Roe vs Wade, the 1973 ruling which protected abortion rights on a national level, unleashing a wave of repressive measures against abortion rights in conservative US states and increasing public focus on this area.This episode is the second part of a brief look at abortion rights. For part one, we looked beyond the USA to the situation for abortion rights in Poland, speaking with a member of Szpila Collective, an anarcha-feminist anti-repression collective based in Warsaw, working to support activists or other people who face repressions because of their political activity.This week on the program we continue that conversation closer to home, looking at abortion rights in so-called Australia. We speak with Dr Erica Millar, senior research fellow at La Trobe University, who provides a brief history of local abortion rights, an explanation of differences in state based abortion legislation, and perspectives on the impact of cultural perceptions of abortion on our current legal framework.If you're based in a rural area, the telehealth abortion and reproductive healthcare websites Erica mentions are Clinic 66 and Marie Stopes.

El acceso a la interrupción del embarazo es un tema de salud pública, debería ser un derecho para todas, un derecho que no está a debate. Hoy platico con Aida Sánchez, gerente de Calidad de los centros Marie Stopes para hablar sobre este tema.

Marie Stopes, Margaret Sanger, Virginia Johnson, Shere Hite – 4 nő, akikben nőiségük mellett még egy a közös: a szex. Mind a négyen ugyanis nagyon sokat tettek életük során a női szexualitásért. Fogamzásgátlás, szexuális szokások, orgazmus, női orgazmus. Mikor, mire, hogyan és minek hatására jöttek rá? Hogy változtatták meg ezek a felismerések nem csak az ő, de az akkori társadalom, leginkább persze a nők életét? És milyen hatással van ez a jelen kor nőire? A jelen életünkre? És persze a ma nőjének szexualitására? Erről beszélgetünk – ezúttal hárman, ebben az adásban ugyanis vendégünk is van: Jámbor Eszter, a Szexsuli.hu alapítója.

We are always shouting about family planning but we know there are still some uncomfortable truths out there that we are still not ready to accept! This episode is in partnership with Marie Stopes! They are a network of caring professionals across Kenya delivering women's wellness services. From pregnancy and maternity care to contraceptive and family planning. Uncomfortable truths are a major barrier to why a lot of people aren't proactive about family planning. For example, ‘Family planning is the responsibility of both parties' - but kwa ground vitu ni different. That's an uncomfortable truth that's best accepted sooner than later because women suffer the consequences the most. We also sat down with a reproductive health specialist from Marie Stopes (Loise Opiyo) to answer your questions! Do you agree with these truths? Let's chat in the comments.

Today is a sad day for women in the USA. In Australia we are lucky to have a more sensible and pragmatic approach to abortion that protects a woman's rights but the reversal of Roe Vs Wade sets a very frightening president that hopefully the rest of the developed world will not follow.If you are an Australian woman facing the issue of an unwanted pregnancy access to tele abortion  utilising the antiabortion drug is readily available by calling Marie Stopes you do not need referral from a doctor. The staff are helpful, not judgemental and offer compassionate care.https://www.mariestopes.org.auSlutcast is presented by Zoe Starr an independent escort working in the Central West of NSW.

Sam shares with us her experience with abortion and takes us on her emotional journey: from finding out she was pregnant; the lack of support she felt; the abortion procedure; and her experience with postpartum depression. Sam shares her story to help de-stigmatised abortions and to help release the shame society has put on women. Statistics from Marie Stopes, a provider of sexual and reproductive health services in the UK: 1 in 3 women will have an abortion in their life 1 in 3 women won't tell their friends or family 9 in 10 adults are pro choice in the UK Almost half of abortions worldwide are unsafe This is a safe space, please be mindful of one another.

Marie Stopes (1880 - 1958) foi pioneira na discussão sobre controle de natalidade e métodos contraceptivos. Fundadora da primeira clínica de contracepção do mundo, Marie Stopes se opunha ao aborto: para ela, o fundamental era poder prevenir a concepção de um feto indesejado.

On this episode i and Mr Crabbs interview a Doctor from Marie Stopes and we ask him questions concerning the many contraceptive methods available to men and women, their, side effects, how they're done, we also talk about safe abortion and the effects of self-abortion, etc. The recent rise of teenage pregnancy we joined up with Marie Stopes to be well informed as an attempt to also educate all our listeners.

This week we talk about abortion, Izzy took the 60 second rant segment really seriously and made it into a sort of poem, it's cringing but will make you laugh and we get a confession from Cal. This episode comes with a trigger warning as we appreciate abortion is an emotional topic for many people. This is not about whether abortion is right or wrong but we wanted to put the stories of people who have had an abortion at the forefront which is why we start with Cal sharing her own experience of having an abortion. We discuss some of the pro-life core arguments and discuss how we feel about these, plus we talk through the procedures recommended for safe abortions in case anyone needs to know or curious to find out. There is a lot of misinformation out there at the moment and we want to make sure the right information is out there for people so they can make informed choices. Thanks to Cal once again for her vulnerability and raw honest story telling. And thank you to all of you for your support xxx If you want to find out more about abortion not just if you live in Australia, you can find supportive information here on the Marie Stopes website - a national, independently accredited safe abortion, vasectomy and contraception provider helping women and men take full control of their reproductive lives. www.mariestopes.org.au Main contact for the UK- www.bpas.org If you want to show your support for the people in Texas you can donate to the following organisations: Lilith Fund:https://www.lilithfund.org/ Texas Equal Access Fund https://teafund.org/ Fund Texas Choice https://fundtexaschoice.org/ Jane's Due Process https://janesdueprocess.org/ Frontera Fund https://fronterafundrgv.org/ Buckle Bunnies Fund https://www.bucklebunnies.org/ West Fund https://www.westfund.org/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/imwithher/message

The birth of reproductive rights in England and the US actually started in eugenics with a couple of white women. Join us in learning about Marie Stopes and Margaret Sanger, both historically renowned birth control advocates and women's rights icons...with a catch. As usual, "rights" for the "right" people. 

There's an assumption that it's relatively easy to access abortion care in Australia, but that really depends on where in the country you live, particularly if it's outside of a major city. It's estimated as many as a third of Australian women need to access abortion services at some point during their lives. So why is it still so hard if you live in the wrong postcode?

The Federal Government is copping a fresh round of criticism for its vaccine rollout, this time over a graphic ad showing a young person struggling to breathe on a ventilator. Key abortion provider Marie Stopes has shut down four abortion clinics in regional Australia, leaving advocates worried. Plus, gamers are making some serious cash by selling old consoles and games, sometimes up to millions of dollars.

One of the ways in which eugenics became incorporated into mainstream society all around the world was through the birth control movement. Early twentieth-century birth control pioneers like Marie Stopes and Margaret Sanger were also ardent eugenicists, and their motives were bound up with imperial concerns about, as eugenicists saw it, the deterioration of the 'white race'. Their arguments were taken up in the cause of another imperialist concern, which was the growing population of non-white people in the colonies. In this episode, Subhadra and her guests consider how we can confront historical and contemporary eugenics practices in the continuing struggle for reproductive justice.This conversation was recorded on 22nd April 2021Transcript: www.ucl.ac.uk/racism-racialisation/transcript-what-does-eugenics-mean-us-episode-6Host: Subhadra DasGuests: Kate Law is a feminist historian who specialises in twentieth-century Southern African history.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6545FUNERALI AL MARITO DELLA REGINA ELISABETTA (CHE VOLEVA REINCARNARSI IN UN VIRUS PER UCCIDERE GLI UOMINI E PRESERVARE L'AMBIENTE) di Patricia Gooding-Williams"Se mi potessi reincarnare, vorrei tornare come un virus mortale, per contribuire a risolvere il problema della sovrappopolazione". Questa frase del principe Filippo, il cui funerale viene celebrato oggi al Castello di Windsor, nel sud dell'Inghilterra, mette in luce un aspetto importante della sua vita che è stato ampiamente trascurato nelle commemorazioni dopo la sua morte avvenuta lo scorso 9 aprile.A differenza di alcune delle sue gaffe, questo non era uno di quei commenti improvvisati che hanno formato la sua reputazione. Al contrario, con questo egli esprimeva una profonda convinzione che ha determinato tutta la sua azione. La citazione, tratta da un'intervista del 1988 affidata a Deutsche Press-Agentur, si aggiunge ad altre numerose interviste e conferenze da lui tenute sul tema della conservazione. La salvaguardia dell'ambiente era un compito che aveva assunto con dedizione e invitava a fare altrettanto a tutti gli uomini di potere perché, per definizione, questi hanno un impatto diretto sul comportamento di chi è al di sotto di loro.Ma la frase sull'ipotetica reincarnazione, il fatto che il Duca di Edimburgo volesse tornare come virus mortale per "curare" il mondo dalla sua presunta malattia, la sovrappopolazione, uccidendo milioni di persone, creò un certo sbalordimento. Peraltro non ha mai chiarito se provasse qualcosa per l'immensa sofferenza che avrebbe inflitto a coloro che infettava.Tuttavia, il controllo della popolazione, come suggerisce il suo commento, non era l'obiettivo principale del principe Filippo, piuttosto era il mezzo per raggiungere un fine. La sua preoccupazione era preservare un ambiente sostenibile e, a suo avviso, la crescita incontrollata della popolazione era il cancro che, se non curato, alla fine avrebbe portato alla sua scomparsa. Vedeva la questione della crescita incontrollata della popolazione allo stesso modo impassibile con cui vedeva la necessità di abbattere gli animali per mantenere il delicato equilibrio della sostenibilità naturale. Il principe Filippo ha ben chiarito questa sua convinzione usando l'esempio del successo di un progetto delle Nazioni Unite negli anni '40 che ha eradicato la malaria in Sri Lanka. "Quello di cui le persone non si sono rese conto è che la malaria stava effettivamente controllando la crescita della popolazione. La conseguenza è stata che in circa 20 anni la popolazione è raddoppiata. Ora devono trovare qualcosa da far fare a tutte quelle persone e un modo per nutrirle".Filippo diceva sempre quello che aveva in mente e una volta che aveva preso una decisione, la portava fino in fondo. La sua posizione di consorte della regina del Regno Unito ha ovviamente moltiplicato le occasioni a sua disposizione per raggiungere un vasto pubblico; e il messaggio ambientalista che ha diffuso nel mondo è rimasto scolpito nella pietra. Fred Hauptfuhrer lo intervistò per People nel 1981, per un articolo intitolato "Le razze scomparse preoccupano il principe Filippo, ma non tanto quanto la sovrappopolazione".Alla domanda "quale considera la principale minaccia per l'ambiente?", il principe Filippo ha risposto: "La crescita della popolazione umana è probabilmente la più grave minaccia alla sopravvivenza a lungo termine. Sarebbe un grave disastro se non venisse frenata, non solo per il mondo naturale, ma per il mondo umano. Più persone ci sono, più risorse consumeranno, più inquinamento creeranno, più combatteranno. Non abbiamo alternative. Se il numero non è controllato volontariamente, sarà controllato involontariamente da un aumento delle malattie, della fame e della guerra ".Alla domanda: "Il controllo delle nascite fa parte della soluzione?" Il Duca ha risposto: "Sì, ma non puoi legiferare su questi problemi. Devi convincere le persone a capirne la necessità: le persone più importanti, quelle che hanno responsabilità e possono effettivamente fare qualcosa per risolvere il problema. Chi non ha responsabilità deve farlo perché è il destinatario. Devono accettare le misure".Fin dall'inizio, il principe Filippo era intenzionato a lasciare un segno. Ha fondato il World Wildlife Fund (WWF) nel 1961 e ne è stato presidente del Regno Unito dal 1961 al 1982, presidente internazionale dal 1981 e presidente emerito dal 1996. Ha contribuito a fondare l'Australian Conservation Foundation e nel 1963 è stato anche presidente della Zoological Society of London per due decenni, ed è stato nominato membro onorario nel 1977. [...]Chi poi dovesse disinnescare la bomba e prendere le decisioni concrete per garantire la sopravvivenza della specie, era una questione successiva. Subito dopo venne chi doveva disinnescare questa bomba e prendere le decisioni esecutive per garantire la sopravvivenza delle specie. Questa fu la sua risposta: "Non ho dubbi che l'UNFPA sia preoccupata per la conservazione della natura, e il WWF promuove la pianificazione familiare nei suoi progetti di conservazione. (...) Spero di aver chiarito che sia il controllo del numero della popolazione umana che la conservazione della natura si occupano a modo loro della salute e del benessere futuri del pianeta terra e di tutti i suoi abitanti viventi... I leader nel pensiero, nella politica e nell'amministrazione, [dovrebbero] iniziare ad affrontare i fatti e compiere seri sforzi per trovare i modi per risolvere la crisi".La bizzarra dichiarazione del principe Filippo, che è tornata di attualità dopo che Buckingham Palace ha annunciato la sua morte, ha ovviamente provocato nuovo stupore in questo tempo di pandemia e le sue osservazioni sono state collegate alle morti provocate dal COVID-19. Ma quello che molti non comprendono è che le politiche di controllo della popolazione praticate dalle agenzie delle Nazioni Unite, trovano le loro radici nel movimento eugenetico - diffuso nel Regno Unito e negli Stati Uniti - che era già una forza al momento della nascita del principe Filippo nel 1921. Si spera, una volta che sia venuta meno la narrazione politicamente corretta sull'eredità di Filippo, che qualcuno potrà ricostruire le verità omesse sulla sua figura.Fino ad allora, gli entusiasti del controllo della popolazione probabilmente incroceranno le dita nella speranza che il principe Filippo torni davvero come un virus orribile e li aiuti a finire il lavoro! Ma se dovesse deluderli, suo figlio Carlo e suo nipote William, futuro erede al trono, hanno ripreso il suo testimone e lo stanno già rendendo orgoglioso.Nota di BastaBugie: l'autrice del precedente articolo, Patricia Gooding-Williams, nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "Cliniche per il controllo delle nascite, 100 anni di eugenetica e razzismo" ricorda che cento anni fa Marie Stopes apriva a Londra la prima clinica per il controllo delle nascite, un'opera della Società Eugenetica. E l'influenza eugenetica a danno delle donne dura tuttora sotto gli slogan di "scelta" e "libertà".Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana il 17 marzo 2021:Esattamente cento anni fa, il 17 marzo 1921, fu inaugurata la prima clinica di pianificazione familiare della Gran Bretagna al 61 di Marlborough Road, Holloway, Londra. Le celebrazioni ufficiali del centenario indicano l'evento come uno dei più grandi successi umanitari del secolo scorso. Ma in realtà il valore di questo evento può essere compreso soltanto se si riconosce e si fanno i conti con il movimento eugenetico, che è stato la chiave per l'apertura della prima Mother's Clinic (questo era il nome ufficiale). Aprire un capitolo della storia britannica tanto vergognoso quanto doloroso potrebbe rovinare le celebrazioni, ma aprirebbe un dibattito oggi più che mai necessario su quale influenza ha avuto l'eugenetica sulle attuali pratiche di controllo della popolazione.Il movimento eugenetico è diventato potente in Gran Bretagna all'inizio del XX secolo. La sua missione era prendere il controllo della natalità e creare una razza superiore attraverso la procreazione selettiva. Il tasso di natalità complessivo della Gran Bretagna era in calo dal 1876, il problema per gli eugenisti era che la riduzione non era uniformemente distribuita tra tutte le classi sociali. Le persone più povere in Gran Bretagna erano le più prolifiche e questo implicava un "deterioramento nazionale" della razza, un disastro per le generazioni future e per l'impero britannico. La loro soluzione è stata quella di correggere lo squilibrio eliminando poveri, malati e disabili. L'introduzione della pianificazione familiare nel 1921 serviva a questo scopo.L'eugenetica, che significa "nascere bene", era considerata una scienza rispettabile dall'élite. Il movimento contava alcuni dei britannici più importanti e influenti di quell'epoca. Includevano: John Maynard Keynes, Bertrand Russell, [...] nonché membri senior dell'establishment politico come Winston Churchill [...] che divenne Primo Ministro del Regno Unito dal 1940 al 1945 (durante la Seconda guerra mondiale) e di nuovo dal 1951 al 1955.Una lettera scritta da Winston Churchill nel 1910 al primo ministro Henry Asquith, fa capire come lui e molti membri del movimento eugenetico valutassero lo squilibrio della popolazione in quel momento. "La crescita innaturale e sempre più rapida delle classi di deboli di mente e di pazzi, unita com'è a una costante restrizione delle fasce di popolazione giudiziose, energiche e superiori, costituisce un pericolo nazionale e razziale che è impossibile esagerare".Nel 1921 la Società Eugenetica aveva già consolidato un impatto sulla società. Il manifesto della CBC prendeva di mira coloro che erano considerati non idonei alla genitorialità.

It's been called "The Philanthropist's Dilemma" and the "Now or Forever" question: Do I spend down or form a foundation in perpetuity?This question of course comes with many others: is this really a binary decision? How should I find my own path? How do I take into account the size of my giving, my philanthropic strategy, my co-decision makers and my life plans?Join us in conversation with Peter Smitham, Chair of Atlantic Philanthropies, to learn how philanthropists can approach decision-making around whether to spend down or to give in perpetuity. The session will last 60 minutes.Peter Smitham was a founder of Permira (formerly Schroder Ventures), a global private equity firm where he fulfilled different roles for 30 years until 2015, including managing partner and chairman. Previously he had worked in the electronics industry, including a successful start-up in the 1970s. In 2000 Peter decided to “go plural” and include strategic philanthropy, social impact investing and emerging market private equity to his developed market private equity career with Permira. Since then he has served on the boards of MSI Reproductive Choices (formerly Marie Stopes), New Philanthropy Capital, and Population Services International. In 2004 he joined the Board of Atlantic Philanthropies - a multibillion-dollar organisation with a limited life spend down philosophy created and funded by Chuck Feeney. Peter served as the Board Chair of Atlantic Philanthropies from 2011-2020. In 2004 Peter and wife Lynne founded their family foundation, The Kiawah Trust, which focuses on improving the lives of disadvantaged adolescent girls in India.

Subhadra Das has kindly let us share the first episode of Bricks + Mortals, a history of eugenics told through a walking tour of UCL's buildings. While Marie Stopes is widely celebrated as a feminist icon and champion of birth control, this episode explores her eugenic motivations which are less well-known.    Link to all of the Bricks + Mortals episodes - https://www.ucl.ac.uk/culture/projects/bricks-mortals   Presented/Written by Subhadra Das Produced by Cerys Bradley

For many people, having an abortion is not an easy thing to go through.  Even though it's now decriminalised around Australia, the stigma around terminating pregnancy is still very real, and going through it can be tough for many uterus owners… especially when you don't fit the ‘typical' picture of an abortion case.  The experts join Nat to discuss how having an abortion can impact a relationship, why there's still so much stigma and shame around it, and how we can look at normalising abortions.

In March 1921, Marie Stopes opened Britain's first birth control clinic in London. The Mother's Clinic in Holloway offered advice to married mothers on how to avoid having any more children. Hear testimonies on the early days of birth control in Britain from the BBC archive. This programme was first broadcast in 2013.(Photo: Dr Marie Stopes, photographed in 1953.
