I’m grateful for drugs. I really am. I take them, some as prescription and some over the counter. They’re not my friends, per se, but in a fallen world we sometimes–oftentimes–need them. But guess what? For every action there’s a reaction, for every cause an effect, and it’s not news to us that drugs–pharmaceuticals, prescriptions, [...]
I nixed the Teens and Birth Control show on the FertilityCare iPod queue because it was more moral and cultural commentary than about diagnosing young women’s menstrual issues. It was a good show, and a little insightful into the average teen-and-mother/ doctor experience; i.e., what the doctor says when prescribing versus what he really things, [...]
Coming to Madison in a couple weeks. (RSVP here.)
Chris McGregor continues her interviews with Dr. Thomas Hilgers. We continue from the last post with “Contraception, p.2.” Dr. Hilgers talks about the orgin of the IUD (camels? really?), development of contraceptive technology, the politics of redefining pregnancy, the side effects of it [...]
Dr. Thomas Hilgers is a rock star of reproductive health. Truly is on the avant-garde of women’s health, and his groundbreaking work is hidden from the masses. He approaches fertility as something beautiful and dignified, rather than the disease that many people think it is.

Audio from Janet Smith and Jason Evert. Even if you’re pro contraceptives, I challenge you to listen to this entire clip.

“MATERNITY CARE IN THE UNITED STATES IS IN CRISIS.”
“I saw that nowhere does the tension between technology and nature play out more dramatically than birth.”
This excerpt from director Abby Epstein’s statement on the official movie web site of “The Business of [...]
Here’s a way to celebrate Earth day that isn’t getting much press: learning Natural Family Planning.
A good friend of mine has this brochure on NFP called, “Go Organic,” which totally plugs my blog–thank you, and it suggests that learning the world’s most underrated method of family planning *might* [...]
Numbers of those in the helping professions and vocations (nursing, teaching, law enforcement, priesthood, missionary work, etc.) has been plummeting for years. Recently, though, some companies, like Johnson & Johnson and Tylenol*, are helping to revitalize some these sacrificial career fields by offering [...]
I just got my Diocese of Richmond newsletter, “The NFP Messenger.” There’s a testimony by Pam Pilch, who tells how marital struggles and her mother’s bout with breast cancer was the impetus to get off the Pill and seek another family planning method.
