"This is also a tactic right out of Project 2025, which laid out a plan to attack reproductive health access by redirecting Title X and other federal dollars from legitimate reproductive health clinics to anti-abortion pregnancy centers."

"The #health dept seems to want to shift taxpayer dollars away from reliable #contraception and toward counseling #men on erectile dysfunction, testosterone levels & sperm motility, each of which merits three mentions in the new guidance, while IUDs & #BirthControl pills earn none. The document is a mishmash of Make America Healthy Again talking points..., conservative bromides on marriage before babies and pronatalist nods to fertility."

"The anti-abortion movement generally opposes contraception, and wants it to go the way of legal abortion in the United States.
It may seem odd that a movement ostensibly dedicated to ending abortion would oppose the tools that are the most effective at ending abortion."

"Instead of getting highly effective contraception methods to the country’s poorest women so that they may decide if and when to have children, Title X under Mr. Trump seems aimed at getting more women pregnant, whether they want to be or not.

EUGENICS, REPACKAGED AS BIOLOGICAL FREEDOM
In the industrial heart of Kitchener, Ontario, A.R. Kaufman, a wealthy factory owner and staunch capitalist, helped pioneer the birth control movement in Canada. But his motivations were far from progressive. Kaufman’s advocacy for contraception and sterilization was not rooted in a desire to empower women or alleviate poverty. Instead, it stemmed from a fervent belief in eugenics: the idea that society should rid itself of its undesirable elements.
The 1892 Criminal Code criminalized the sale and distribution of contraceptive products and the dissemination of information about them. Despite these barriers, the birth control movement gained momentum. In 1932, Elizabeth Bagshaw, one of Canada’s first female physicians, became the medical director of Canada’s first birth control clinic in Hamilton. It operated illegally but with quiet support from sympathetic doctors. Around the same time, A.R. Kaufman launched his Parents’ Information Bureau (PIB) in Kitchener, Ontario.
The PIB distributed contraceptive materials—including spermicidal jelly, diaphragms and informational pamphlets—by mail and arranged referrals to doctors willing to perform sterilizations. Kaufman’s program quickly expanded, serving tens of thousands of clients annually and playing a significant role in shaping public discourse around birth control in Canada.
Kaufman’s efforts began close to home. When faced with the reality that many of his employees at the Kaufman Rubber Company could not afford to support their families, rather than increase their wages, Kaufman launched a birth control program targeting his workers. Over 1,000 employees were sterilized under this initiative.
Kaufman’s belief in eugenics, coupled with his desire to maintain social control, are on stark display in a letter to American journalist, H.L. Mencken.
“I have said, and still think, we must choose between birth control and revolution…Many of these people are not willing to work but I do not criticize them harshly for their lack of ambition when they are the offspring of people no better than themselves,” Kaufman wrote.
Kaufman made no bones about the lengths to which he was willing to go to rid society of undesirables.
“I agree it might be more merciful and cheaper to ‘have at them [the poor] with machine guns,’ but the law has an inconvenient way of insisting on prolonging people’s agony,” he wrote.
He went on to describe his sterilization efforts as the “next best” solution. His hope, he said, was that public authorities would eventually take over the work.
“If you manage to sterilize a few thousand liabilities the work may eventually get public recognition,” he wrote.
Kaufman’s influence extended far beyond Kitchener. He lobbied governments across Canada to adopt birth control and sterilization programs, particularly targeting Indigenous communities and the working poor. His efforts were part of a broader eugenics movement that gained traction in Canada in the early twentieth century, fueled by fears of overpopulation, economic instability and racial mixing. While many eugenicists distanced themselves from the ideology after World War II, Kaufman remained a vocal proponent, simply rebranding his campaign as “responsible parenthood”.
This strategic shift in language coincided with the lead-up to the 1969 decriminalization of birth control in Canada. By then, Kaufman had positioned himself as a public health advocate, masking his eugenic goals behind the veneer of social responsibility. But the underlying ideology remained unchanged.
As Karen Stote, assistant professor in the Women and Gender Program at Wilfrid Laurier University, notes, Kaufman’s work was never about reproductive freedom—it was about population control. His programs disproportionately targeted Indigenous women, and his legacy continues to echo in ongoing debates about reproductive justice and medical consent.
Kaufman’s capitalist background also played a key role in shaping his views. He was fiercely anti-union and saw birth control as a way to manage labor rather than empower it. Rather than addressing systemic inequality, he sought to eliminate the poor altogether.
“My first reaction when I took an interest in the deplorable state of affairs of some people was ‘to dump them in the lake,’” he wrote. “Since my idea was also impractical from a legal standpoint, I decided to do the next best.”
Kaufman’s influence also reached into the legal realm through his support of Dorothea Palmer, a birth control advocate who was arrested in 1936 during the Eastview birth control trial in Ontario. Palmer was charged under the Criminal Code for distributing birth control information, but Kaufman funded her legal defense, arguing that her actions were in the public interest.
The case became a landmark moment in Canadian reproductive rights history, and Palmer was ultimately acquitted. Kaufman’s backing of Palmer further illustrates his strategic efforts to normalize birth control, even as his motivations remained rooted in eugenics.
For the Waterloo Region community, this legacy is especially poignant. Today, the legacy of A.R. Kaufman is deeply contested. While some credit him with helping to normalize birth control in Canada, others point to the coercive and discriminatory nature of his programs.
His name has been removed from schools, and scholars like Stote continue to uncover the extent of his influence on policies that harmed marginalized communities.
Kaufman’s programs and ideology were not abstract policies but lived realities for local families, many of whom were directly impacted by his sterilization initiatives and anti-union practices. His name, once emblazoned on local institutions, now prompts reflection on how communities remember and reconcile complex histories.
The birth control movement in Canada did eventually lead to greater reproductive autonomy for many women. But its origins are steeped in a history of control, not liberation. Kaufman’s story is a reminder that social progress can emerge from deeply flawed beginnings—and that we must confront those origins honestly if we hope to build a more just future.

"#McCormick’s interest in #birthcontrol began in the 1910s, when she learned of Margaret Sanger, the feminist leader who had been jailed for opening the nation’s first birth control clinic. She shared Sanger’s fervent belief that women should be able to chart their own biological destinies. From 1922 to 1925, McCormick smuggled more than 1,000 #diaphragms into Sanger’s clinics." -

SCOTUS just gave abortion clinics a rare win
But more significant threats from Trump’s Department of Justice remain.
by Julianne McShane, 2/24/2025
"Abortion rights advocates took the court’s rejection of the cases as a win, albeit a limited one.
"Katie O’Connor, director of federal abortion policy at the National Women’s Law Center, said that while the organization was “relieved” to hear about the court’s decision, “anti-abortion extremists are now more emboldened” thanks to Trump.
"Last month, for example, Trump’s DOJ announced it would limit enforcement of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a 1994 federal law that prohibits physical force, threats, or intimidation against people trying to access reproductive health clinics. While the law has been used to prosecute both anti-abortion protesters targeting abortion clinics and abortion rights protesters targeting anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers, Trump baselessly claimed the Biden administration 'selectively weaponized [the law] against Christians.' The new DOJ guidance—which says the FACE Act should only be used in 'extraordinary circumstances' or cases involving 'death, serious bodily harm, or serious property damage'—reportedly has abortion providers bracing for more intense protests and fearing more violence. (The DOJ’s directive to limit FACE Act enforcement, though, does not override the legality of buffer zones, which are controlled by state and local law enforcement.)"

Saheli, a 'non-steroidal non-hormonal contraceptive pill'. Saheli dosage starts 1 pill per half-week for ... (?), then 1 pill weekly. Basically induce a brief, mini-menopause that stops when you stop the pills. https://saheliinfo.com/clinical-evidence
Then! ONE-YEAR vaginal ring Annovera. Unlike monthly-ish vaginal rings, (https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/6449/smpc) this thicker vaginal ring holds enough for 13 cycles with one week bleeding breaks, or 12 if you skip periods. Think "buff NuvaRing". https://www.annoverahcp.com/
Speaking of intra-uterine system / device options: the UK does several!
