LINKS TO GET YOU STARTED
| Planned Parenthood
(http://www.plannedparenthood.org/)
This web site contains extensive information on many different issues about contraception, birth control, sexual health and other issues regarding planning parenthood. | | | | The Hall of Contraception
(http://desires.com/1.6/Sex/Museum/museum1.html)
"Contraception has a long and inventive history. Now there is a museum dedicated to one of humankind's most persistent quests." | | | | Epigee Birth Control Guide
(http://www.epigee.org/guide)
"This information is designed to help you make an informed decision about birth control. Only safe, appropriate methods that genuinely prevent conception are recommended. Whichever method of birth control you choose, remember that, aside from abstinence, all birth control methods sometimes fail, even if used properly and consistently." | | | | Contraception and Sex Information You Can Actually Use
(http://www.io.com/~wwwomen/contraception)
"Do you get the feeling that all the talk about contraception and sex is "scripted"? I certainly do. There are those silly little pamphlets with pastel flowers in the margins that tell you about "getting intimate," "being safe," and practicing good "personal hygiene." They all have the same diagrams, as if the pamphlet designers just traded them around." This web site attempts to correct this problem and present information that is truly useful. | | | | The Alan Guttmacher Institute: Facts in Brief, Contraceptive Use
(http://www.agi-usa.org/pubs/fb_contr_use.html)
This web site contains some basic information about contraceptive use... | | | | The History of Condoms
(http://www.mbmc.net/mantalk/condom_history1.html)
A brief little description of the history of condoms. | | | | NOT-2-LATE.com
(http://ec.princeton.edu/)
"Welcome to the Emergency Contraception World Wide Web server operated by the Office of Population Research at Princeton University and funded through generous foundation support. This server is designed to provide accurate information about emergency contraception derived from the medical literature and a directory of clinicians willing to provide emergency contraceptives in your area. All forms of emergency contraception described on this server require a prescription." | | | | Emergency Contraception
(http://www.plannedparenthood.org/ec/)
"Often called the "morning-after pill" or post-coital contraception, emergency contraception can prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse. Emergency contraception is provided in two ways: using increased doses of certain oral contraceptive pills within 72 hours or insertion of a copper intrauterine device (IUD) within five to seven days." | | | | NARAL: Abortion and Reproductive Rights: Choice For Women
(http://www.naral.org/)
This is the web site for "The National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL). As essential to American freedom as our right to think, vote, worship, work and marry, is our right to make decisions about our own bodies. This very basic and necessary right to choose means having access to safe and legal abortion, effective contraceptive options, and quality reproductive health care. But unlike the other rights we expect as Americans, this is not one we can take for granted." |
