WGR10417 - The Truth About Contraception, Women, and the Environment
9/26/2012
(Program 10417) Guests: Jason Evert, Melissa Foley
Contraception has been sold to women as a right and a liberator. Her best option in the bedroom and for the boardroom. The standard bearer for her healthcare and the panacea for all her ills from acne to reproductive issues. But, what’s the truth about contraception? Is it really good for women? Is it good for the environment? A growing and consistent body of research is indicating that contraception is not good for the woman on any level. And, it’s not good for the environment either. Unfortunately, however, this isn’t reported in the press, announced in the news, or even shared with the woman when they are prescribed.
