In North America, 65-80% of women aged 15-49 use birth control-but do they understand how it works? This accessible resource attempts to untangle the knots hidden in paragraphs of technical jargon and contradictory information. It aims to provide a clear picture of how hormonal birth control works-and how it can affect the very youngest pre-born children.
Briefly detailing the functions of the different forms of hormonal birth control, including implants, vaginal rings, the shot, the Pill,
the patch, and IUDs, this booklet is meant to help couples make informed, ethical decisions.
