China is rolling out its most wide-ranging push to boost a flagging birth rate, with official population data due on Jan. 19 set to show a fourth consecutive annual drop. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/16/asia-pacific/society/china-birth-boost-support/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #society #china #population #birthcontrol

Yes, both #BirthControl and #Abortions were available to women in #AncientEgypt! We're sliding backwards, folks!
Heads up to people who menstruate: if you don't want to menstruate for ANY reason, there is something called "continuous birth control", which is where you take hormonal birth control pills every day, skipping the placebo doses in favour of more of the non-placebo pills. This prevents menstruation. #reproductivehealth #sexed #birthcontrol
Today in Labor History January 1, 1879: Ben Reitman was born. Reitman was a comrade and one-time lover of Emma Goldman, a doctor to hobos and prostitutes, and an anarchist organizer. He wrote the novel, “Boxcar Bertha.” Scorsese later made a film based on this book. Reitman became a hobo at the age of ten, but returned to Chicago and got a job in a lab. In 1900, he started medical school. His first daughter founded the nudist Out-of-Door Club at Highland, New York. As a physician, Reitman performed many abortions when they were still illegal. In 1907 he founded the Hobo College for migrant education, political organizing and social services. The during San Diego Free Speech Fight in 1912-1913, vigilantes tarred and feathered him, burned “IWW” into his skin and raped him with a broom. In 1916, he served six-month in prison for breaking the Comstock Law by disseminating information on birth control.

"Man, I now have to pay taxes on birth control things? Let me save money by not using any and just have some babies instead, which are not expensive at all." 🙄

Based Baddy horsewhips boots for wage theft.
Today in Labor History December 31, 1918: U.S. courts found Marie Equi guilty of sedition for speaking out against World War One. Marie Equi was born to working-class immigrant parents in New Bedford, Massachusetts. As a young woman, she went to work in a textile mill. Her first documented experience as an activist came in 1893, when she horse-whipped Reverend Orson D. Taylor, a land developer and superintendent of the Wasco Independent Academy, after he reneged on paying her lover, Bessie Holcomb, her salary for teaching at the institution. Many local people considered Taylor as a crook and applauded her attack. In 1897, she moved to San Francisco to study medicine. She practiced medicine in Portland, Oregon, where she cared primarily for working-class and poor patients. However, she came back to San Francisco to volunteer during the 1906 earthquake.
In 1913, she went to support a strike by women cannery workers at Oregon Packing Company over low wages. When the IWW and socialists joined the strike, the demands broadened to include equal rights for women and the right to free speech. During that strike, police clubbed her as she protested their brutality toward a pregnant woman. The experience radicalized her and drew her into the anarchist and the radical labor movements. She became a leader in Portland’s unemployment crisis of 1913-14, supported the IWW’s free speech fights, and the labor battles of the region’s timber workers. Throughout her career as a doctor, she provided information on birth control and abortions despite both being illegal at the time, providing discounts to lower income women. She was imprisoned in 1916 for providing abortion literature.
As nationalism and jingoism increased during the years leading up to U.S. involvement in World War One, there were massive Preparedness Parades held throughout the country. Equi believed the war was about profits for capitalists at the expense of working-class people. During one Preparedness Parade in downtown Portland, she unfurled a banner that reading: Prepare to die, workingmen, JP Morgan & Co. want preparedness for profit. She was arrested at this protest, and again in 1918. They sentenced her to three years at San Quintin, which President Wilson commuted to one. After her release, she returned to Portland and invited IWW organizer Elizabeth Gurley Flynn to come live with her.

China Will Tax Contraceptives in a Bid to Improve Birth Rates

Today in Labor History December 29, 1939: Madeleine Pelletier died. She was a first wave feminist, psychiatrist, and anarchist. During her lifetime, she advocated for the right to sexual pleasure for women, and access to contraception and abortion. In July 1906, she and other suffragists, including Caroline Kauffmann, invaded the French Chamber of Deputies and rained down from the gallery pink slips of paper containing an appeal for the right to vote. She was the first woman in France to receive a degree in Psychiatry. She was a member of the French Section of the Workers' International. She became hemiplegic in 1937 due to a stroke. Nevertheless, she was still found guilty of assisting an abortion on a teenage survivor of incest, in 1939, despite being physically incapable of assisting in the actual procedure, and was forced to spend the rest of her life in a mental asylum, where she died of a second stroke.

Youth clinics offering consultations on sexual and physical health concerns at affordable prices are expanding their reach in Japan, though public awareness remains limited. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/28/japan/science-health/japan-youth-clinics/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #sciencehealth #women039sissues #health #doctors #sex #menstruation #birthcontrol
The rapid continued Northward spread ever closer to the US border of parasitic New World #Screwworm ( #NWS ) in the last 3 months when it's usually freezing to death this time of year does not bode well. This is despite the #Trump Administration's "best" efforts to stop it with hundreds of millions of radioactively castrated male fly dumps (the hypocrites are totally fine with this #birthcontrol & "sex rejecting care" as they stupidly put it ) that previously failed to stop it in Panama.

Women in low-income areas in Kenya face unsafe abortions due to USAID cuts

To all you anti abortionists and forced birthers out there, this is the result of denying medical care to pregnant women. This woman is now sterile for life, because doctors wouldn't perform an abortion when her water broke in the second trimester. This tragedy is 100% avoidable. Can we stop living like it's the 1600s?
