Wait, you said dinosaurs and humans never coexisted? I have a VCR tape of Land of the Lost that shows they did! You probably don’t believe in Sleestaks either.
Thank you for always spreading enlightenment. Sadly, I agree, that science and knowledge don’t easily seep into thick skulls. Keep up the great work. We are all grateful for the education you provide.
“But the quote that best captures the maddening persistence of this conflict comes from the other side—the judge who, in 1917, presided over the trial of Margaret Sanger for the crime of opening a birth-control clinic. Women, he said, simply did not have “the right to copulate with a feeling of security that there will be no resulting conception.” For all that women’s roles have changed, for all the new contraceptive products that have appeared since, this attitude seems never to have been entirely vanquished.”
Another follow-up question: if someone hypothetically wanted to stock up on Plan B for the Just In Case scenario, do you have thoughts on name brand vs. generic (1.5 mg levonorgestrel)? Not surprisingly, the generic is significantly cheaper... Thank you for all you do!
Thank you for this, as always. From what I can tell, ella is only available by prescription... do you know any way to access it before it might be needed?

Thank you as always, Dr G.
The New Yorker had a great piece last week on how birth control came to the US. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/11/25/the-icon-and-the-idealist-stephanie-gorton-review. Lots on the Comstock Act.

Nothing much has changed, which is disheartening

No difference medically between the generic and brand name

People can ask for a prescription to have on hand, many providers will give it
