In describing the creation of man, the Torah says, “The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the earth and blew into him the breath of life.” It’s interesting to note that the Hebrew word for formed, which is vayiezer, was misspelled in the Bible, having used the Hebrew letter iud twice.
The word vayiezer can also mean inclinations, and from what we understand, when man was formed, he had inside of him two completely different inclinations.

One of the most infuriating elements of American myopia about investing in at-risk kids is that politicians often insist that they don't have the funds to pay for social services, but they somehow find the resources to pay for prisons later on. Republican lawmakers don't want to pay for $500 IUDs for low-income women, so they pay $17,000 for Medicaid births. They don't want to pay to reduce lead poisoning, even though that means paying for special education classes for years to come.

Not long ago, Malthusian thinking was revived with a vengeance. In 1967 William and Paul Paddock wrote Famine 1975!, and in 1968 the biologist Paul R. Ehrlich wrote The Population Bomb, in which he proclaimed that “the battle to feed all of humanity is over” and predicted that by the 1980s sixty-five million Americans and four billion other people would starve to death. New York Times Magazine readers were introduced to the battlefield term triage (the emergency practice of separating wounded soldiers into the savable and the doomed) and to philosophy-seminar arguments about whether it is morally permissible to throw someone overboard from a crowded lifeboat to prevent it from capsizing and drowning everyone.10 Ehrlich and other environmentalists argued for cutting off food aid to countries they deemed basket cases.11 Robert McNamara, president of the World Bank from 1968 to 1981, discouraged financing of health care “unless it was very strictly related to population control, because usually health facilities contributed to the decline of the death rate, and thereby to the population explosion.” Population-control programs in India and China (especially under China’s one-child policy) coerced women into sterilizations, abortions, and being implanted with painful and septic IUDs.12

The Catholic ethicist Jana Bennett, for instance, points out that women’s experience of pregnancy and parenthood puts them in a better place to understand that we aren’t in control: You can choose to avoid pregnancy with a condom, pill or IUD — but sometimes that baby’s there anyway. You can try to get pregnant for months on end, even “choosing” IVF, and it doesn’t happen. You can get pregnant and miscarry. And if you get pregnant and your boss decides that you are therefore a liability, you can lose your job unless you make “the right choice”; any resultant poverty is your “choice.” In other words, we try to control sex and parenthood under the guise of individual choice, but it really isn’t a choice. . . . No — it’s a “choice” made in concert with a whole host of racial, economic, technological, age, and other factors.24

Women still bear the vast brunt of the physical, emotional, and organizational labor involved in contraceptive use — whether any devices are available at all, whether they are safe or not, and when they fail. For the majority of the world’s women modern contraceptive measures such as the pill, condoms, injectibles, or IUDS are simply not an option—a situation that is exacerbated by the matricidal policies toward abortion and family planning by many of the world’s wealthiest countries (only family planning based on abstinence was supported under the “pro-Africa” Bush administration — a policy with extremely deleterious consequences for the ability of anti-retroviral treatment to prevent the spread of AIDS as well as for rates of maternal and child mortality).
Access to safe, affordable, or free abortion is similarly limited.
Famously, there is no country in the world where women have the
legal right freely to make up their own minds about termination or
continuation of pregnancy. Thus, despite the emphasis by many modern
democratic nations on the protection of various individual rights
and freedoms, women’s reproductive rights remain in an essentially
pre-modern condition—a condition decried by both Firestone and
Beauvoir as biological feudalism.

Across the entire region, the Civil Affairs Ministry had embarked on a “Zero Illegal Births” campaign. She herself, at age forty-seven, was forced to have regular inspections of a new IUD that state workers had forced her to implant. State documents show that women of childbearing age who did not submit to surgical sterilization or IUD implantation and regular inspections would not be added to the list of “trustworthy” citizens. Illegal pregnancies were to be “disposed of early”—a reference to forced abortions.

Well, how do you think the IUD works without any hormones in it? COPPER IS TOXIC TO SPERM!

Your gynecologist is your partner in women’s health, and open communication is key to receiving
the best care. From reproductive health to general well-being, here are 10 crucial topics you should
always discuss with your gynecologist. If you’re in Chandigarh, consider reaching out to the Best
Female Gynecologist in Chandigarh through Motherhood Chaitanya for expert care.
1. Menstrual Irregularities
Don’t dismiss irregular periods as a minor issue. They could be indicative of underlying conditions
like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, or hormonal imbalances.
2. Contraception
Discuss your contraception options to find the one that best suits your needs and lifestyle. Your
gynecologist can provide guidance on various birth control methods, from pills to intrauterine
devices (IUDs).
3. Pregnancy Planning
If you’re planning to start a family, consult your gynecologist for preconception advice. This can help
you prepare your body and address any potential risks or concerns.
4. Sexual Health
Openly discuss any concerns related to sexual health, including pain during intercourse, sexually
transmitted infections (STIs), or changes in sexual desire. Your gynecologist can provide guidance
and offer solutions.
5. Menopause and Perimenopause
If you’re in your 40s or approaching menopause, discuss perimenopausal symptoms like hot flashes,
mood swings, and changes in menstrual patterns. Your gynecologist can recommend treatments to
manage these changes.
6. Family History
Share your family’s medical history, especially if there are instances of gynecological conditions, such
as ovarian or breast cancer. This information is vital for early detection and prevention.
7. Breast Health
Talk to your gynecologist about breast health, including breast self-exams and recommended
mammograms. Regular breast checks are essential for early detection of breast cancer.
8. Pelvic Pain
Don’t ignore persistent pelvic pain. It can signal a range of issues, including endometriosis, fibroids,
or ovarian cysts. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
9. Urinary Issues
Frequent urination, urinary incontinence, or pain during urination should be discussed. These
symptoms can be linked to urinary tract infections or pelvic floor disorders.
10. Mental Health
Your gynecologist is there to address your overall well-being. If you’re experiencing mood swings,
anxiety, or depression, it’s important to discuss these mental health concerns. Your gynecologist can
offer guidance or refer you to specialists if needed.
In conclusion, your gynecologist is your go-to resource for women’s health, addressing a wide
spectrum of issues. Open and honest communication is essential to ensure you receive the best care
and support. If you’re in Chandigarh, consider consulting the Best Gynecologist Obstetricians in

Condom?" I asked with an annoyed sigh. I loved a good, spontaneous hate fuck on the kitchen island as much as the next girl, but goddamn I did not want to risk an STD. Not when I had no idea where Kody'd been sticking his dick, and I seriously doubted he had a convenient copy of his clean records tucked into his pants. Pregnancy wasn't a concern, thanks to my IUD. Not to mention the damage done by my recent stabbing.

How could she not be frightened? I was frightened too. I put my arms around her and hugged her for the longest time. “Don’t worry, don’t worry—you’re not alone. We’ll figure it out, don’t worry.” “I don’t know how it happened. My gynecologist said that it only happens with this new IUD maybe once every 100,000 times.” “Well, that’s a consolation.” She laughed. I pulled down the cover and fluffed up the pillows. Then we both got into bed, and I held her. “I don’t want to make trouble for you,” she said. “I’m so sorry.” “Please don’t say that. You have nothing to be sorry for.” “You’re not angry, dear?” “Of course not. Please don’t talk like that again. We’ll figure out what’s best. Don’t worry now.” And I held her until we both fell asleep.

The Buffett Foundation remains a top supporter of Planned Parenthood and other groups that back abortion access, as it was when the senior Susie ran it. Yet now it’s writing even bigger checks. One of its largest impacts has been around contraception, where the foundation has played a key role in battling unwanted pregnancies by helping bankroll new birth control options. Its grants have helped revolutionize the use of IUDs, a long-acting form of contraception. A reason that IUDs are so effective is because, once these tiny T-shaped devices are inserted into the uterus, there’s no room for user error. The Buffett Foundation invested heavily both in research to improve IUDs and programs to spread their use. “Quietly, steadily, the Buffett family is funding the biggest shift in birth control in a generation,” according to one media account.

If it feels natural, if it helps you to remember, take notes. It's not cheating. It doesn't say anything about your character. If your mind is perhaps the merest bit disorganized, it probably just means that you've lost a little ground. It may be all those drugs you took when you were younger, all that nonhabit-forming marijuana that you smoked on a daily basis for twenty years. It may be that you've had children. When a child comes out of your body, it arrives with about a fifth of your brain clutched in its little hand, like those babies born clutching IUDs. So for any number of reasons, it's only fair to let yourself take notes.
