Recent advances in contraception.

BACKGROUND: Advice regarding contraception, the means of fertility regulation for millions of women, is part of a general practitioner's bread and butter work. The area is however, developing at a rapid pace with the refinement of hormonal methods and the development of new and easier modes of delivery. OBJECTIVE: This article will review the results of recent studies in the area of reproductive health that better clarify the critical issues in the prescription and use of contraceptives. It will also describe contraceptive products that will soon be available in Australia. DISCUSSION: General practitioners need to convey the results of this research to patients so that they may make informed contraceptive choices based on evidence. Patients should also be made aware of all of their contraceptive options as well as the availability of emergency contraceptives.

R. v. Morgentaler, 28 January 1988.

The appellants, physicians who had set up a clinic to perform abortions, were charged with conspiracy with intent to commit abortions contrary to Section 251(4) of the Canadian Criminal Code. Section 251(4) prohibits abortions being performed upon women who have not obtained a certificate from a therapeutic abortion committee of an accredited or approved hospital. On appeal of a lower court decision ordering a new trial for the appellants after a jury had acquitted them, the Supreme Court held (two justices dissenting) that conditioning the performance of an abortion upon certification by an abortion committee violated the right of security of the person contained in Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The five justices in the majority wrote three separate opinions which pointed out, variously, that Section 251 imposed unnecessary procedures and restrictions, restricted access to hospitals, caused delays, resulted in physical, psychological and emotional risk to the woman, and forced some women to carry a fetus to term against their will.

Act (Chapter 13), 9 June 1988.

This Rhode Island Act authorizes and directs the Director of Health to establish a payer of last resort program to cover the cost of outpatient family planning counseling and comprehensive reproductive health services for those ineligible for Medicaid and who lack coverage for these services and whose family income is between 100 and 185% of the federal poverty level. The following services are to be included in the program: 1) patient education and counseling on options for timing and spacing pregnancy; 2) comprehensive medical services to prevent and control the spread of sexually transmitted diseases; and 3) access to safe and effective methods of contraception. Excluded services include, among other things, abortion and infertility related services. No funds are to be expended to support school-based clinics dispensing "contraceptive methods."
