In a dismaying move, the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has proposed changes to the guidelines for family medicine residency programs removing the requirement that residents learn to provide contraception.
Ohio anti-choicers would rather that women get misinformation than real reproductive health care.
Want a Birth Control That’s As Sexy As You Are?
This hilarious SNL skit highlights absurd marketing techniques aimed at women while underscoring the lack of regard for women’s birth control and the lack of emphasis on women’s comfort in today’s society – even when it comes to things being inserted inside of women’s vaginas.
