© Richard Grossman MD, 2010
It was fifty years ago that the Food and Drug Administration approved “the pill”. What a half-century it has been!
The birth control pill made it possible for couples to have sex without concern about pregnancy. True, before hormonal contraceptives there were other contraceptives—but the condom, diaphragm and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that a new contraceptive just became available in Durango? Implanon was approved for use in this country over two years ago, but its manufacturer has been very cautious in making it available.
Almost all women can safely use Implanon. It is effective for up to three years, and can be removed easily when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you need contraception, use it; if you don&#8217;t, be a source of information for other people. For many people, particularly teens, abstinence is the ideal contraception. Since contraception is the best way of decreasing the need for abortion, most people agree that good contraceptive services are beneficial.

		<description><![CDATA[How can we influence more people to use modern contraception? The answer is simple—include male partners in making family planning decisions. This ploy works in many different cultures.
Why have men been left out of family planning? In the past, planners have focused on women since only they get pregnant. The family planning movement started with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you were designing a perfect family planning method, what characteristics should it have? Certainly, the method would be highly effective and safe.
