Annalee on menstruation suppression and body autonomy

Alternet



Posted: Apr 29, 2007

Annalee rocks: “The social rejection of drugs such as Lybrel—which the FDA has already turned down for approval once—is based on the idea that there is something about women’s bodies that women themselves should not be allowed to control. Even in the absence of the fetus debates, we’re still seeing women who are afraid to control their reproductive systems. As long as we are in thrall to this fear, we will never triumph in the struggle for abortion rights and effective birth control.”
