contraception

Dr. Erica Johnstone, a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist, said that hormonal birth control has many potential benefits beyond contraception, but that it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach.

These supplies were originally intended for distribution in low-income countries, but the administration says it no longer views contraception as lifesaving treatment, and will no longer fund birth control products for other nations.

"Maternal death rates are high, partly due to the fact that simple things like contraception are no longer available," he said, noting some potential mothers are "looking for and doing unsafe abortions."

Or consider Justice Kennedy’s assertion, earlier in the book, that Scalia “knew” Griswold—the 1965 case creating a constitutional right to contraception and launching an entire era of judicial constitutional creativity—“was right.”

“Oral contraception can contribute, but so can genetic factors.”
