A Post-Roe Update on Male Birth Control
A Post-Roe Update on Male Birth Control  
Podcast: In the Bubble with Andy Slavitt
Published On: Fri Jul 22 2022
Description: The number one way to prevent an unplanned pregnancy (apart from abstinence) is with contraception. But why does so much of that burden fall on women? In an eye-opening conversation about the development of male birth control, Dr. Brian Nguyen and Dr. Stephanie Page reframe pregnancy as an equally shared responsibility between two partners. They trace a line between the Dobbs v. Jackson decision and the need for male contraception, discuss the clinical trials happening right now, and explain why it’s a step toward building a culture of gender equity.
