The Morning After Pill (MAP).
The morning-after pill is a multiple dose of an oral contraceptive. The MAP may prevent ovulation or, if fertilization has occurred, it may ruin the implantation of a newly conceived human being. It is important that the potential for post-fertilization effects be communicated to patients and health-care providers, as many consider human life to be present and valuable from the moment of fertilization.
The common description of the MAP as emergency contraception fails to accurately describe its possible abortifacient action and is misleading the public. The confusion is aggravated by the current attempt to re-define pregnancy as occurring after implantation. It is a basic fact of human embryology that life begins at conception.
Impact of MAP use
Manufacturers have reduced the hormone content of oral contraceptives due to serious side effects and health risks. Now women are being encouraged to use these same pills, in multiple doses, as post-coital "contraception." The potential long-term impact of these high hormone doses, especially when used repeatedly, is worrisome and not being adequately addressed. The potential effect of the drug on children who survive is also a cause for concern.
The policy to make the morning-after-pill available without a doctor's prescription puts women and girls at higher risk for disease and sexual health problems. Physical and clinical examination by a physician are essential to good healthcare: to counsel patients and determine sexually-transmitted diseases, abusive relationships and related health issues.
Obviously increased access to MAP will increase use. The 1998-99 annual report of Planned Parenthood Federation of America showed an 83.5% increase in "emergency contraception (EC) clients." Seventy-eight of its 132 affiliates "offered EC kits to keep at home 'just in case'." Manufacturers stress that the MAP is not intended for repetitive use but offer no realistic plan to prevent this. In Asia, repetitive MAP use (and health consequences) have become commonplace, and health authorities there have become concerned.
Conscience rights
A related issue raised by increased MAP demand is that of conscientious objection. Our recent correspondence with provincial Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons indicates that, in general, regulating bodies agree that physicians do not have a professional obligation to refer a patient for an abortion. This principle must also apply to the prescription of abortifacients, where referral would violate the conscience and medical good judgment of the physician.
Canadian Physicians for Life affirms the Hippocratic tradition in medicine. We are dedicated to the respect and ethical treatment of every human being, regardless of age or infirmity. Those who hold these principles must not be pressured to act contrary to them as they are foundational to the integrity of our profession and the trust of the public.
Informed decision making
Any policy that morally troublesome issues need only be referred to a colleague is oblivious to the principled objections of pro-life physicians. Pro-life practitioners are not merely refusing to prescribe a type of medication but are dedicated to helping patients make fully informed decisions about their health.
The Code of Ethics of the Canadian Medical Association requires physicians to "inform a patient when their personal morality would influence the recommendation or practice of any medical procedure that the patient needs or wants." We suggest that doctors should be required to inform patients when pro-choice beliefs may bias their approach to a pregnancy, reflecting the same principles expected of pro-life doctors. In other words, doctors who rank unborn human lives as disposable and who believe that abortion does not cause unacceptable harm to women should be expected to inform the patient of this bias during the counseling process.
Do lambskin condoms feel different from latex condoms?
yes, they make them for people with latex allergies and are more expensive
They feel loads better, have much better sensation and feel like you aren't wearing a condom. They aren't just made for people with latex allergies though!! Like the previous answer, they are more expensive but definitely worth. I found it really hard to get hold of them though, but you can get the over the internet (I got them from www.britishcondoms.com- really recommend these guys, great fast service.)
Please keep in mind however that lambskin condoms will not protect you from all STD's, including HIV. So only use them with a trusted, long-term partner.

Does soda pop reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills?
No. It does not. Nor will it ever. That is a complete myth. The only ones you need to worry about, are ones like Fresca which contain REAL grapefruit juice. Grapefruit is known to interact with many drugs, including birth control. Grapefruit slows down your body's ability to eliminate the estrogen from your pills which leaves it circulating in your system longer which then greatly increases all of the risks that birth control carries. You can still drink it, (I do) but sparingly and not often.
Why do birth control pills contain estrogen?
Well, not all contain estrogen but most of them do. The other ingredient, the progesterone, is the one used to prevent pregnancy. The estrogen helps control irregular bleeding during estrogen use.
