Femboys Against Fascism on Liverpool Anti-Immigrant Riots

Femboys Against Fascism on Liverpool Anti-Immigrant Riots

An Iron Front logo with the arrows replaced with 3 colors of striped stockings

Scott talked with members of Femboys Against Fascism, a group based in Liverpool countering anti-migrant protests. The local far right, along with Patriotic Alternative and other ghouls, have been trying to displace refugees being housed in hotels in and around Liverpool in the UK, using the usual fearmongering tactics about crime and danger. The Femboys have been at the forefront of making it known that migrants are welcome in Liverpool, an historically left wing city. In our discussion, we talk about different confrontations, the response of locals and the police, and the role trans people have played in facing off with the fash. Twitter: @FemAntifa. Hear the full podcast version here.

We shared this weeks ago on our patreon as an early release and in the near future we’ll be sharing this on the radio. If you want to get earlier access to chats like that or our chat with Shannon Clay, co-author of the recent history of Anti-Racist Action called We Go Where They Go, alongside many other thank-yous, check out patreon.com/TFSR and consider pledging $3 or more a month. The money goes to support our webhosting, printing and postal costs and, most of all, our monthly transcription work that helps get these interviews translated, printed as zines and sent in to prisoners.

A birth control pill will be available over-the-counter

by

 

WASHINGTON, DC – July 13, 2023 – On July 13th, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the medicine Opill as the U.S.’s first birth control pill to be sold over-the-counter. This means that the pill can be obtained without a prescription. It is expected to be available to consumers by early 2024. There are no age restrictions to purchase this medicine. Many medical organizations including the American Medical Association, the leading professional society for obstetricians and gynecologists, and the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine, and numerous reproductive rights groups support selling Opill without a prescription. The FDA had assessed that Opill was safe, effective, and easy for women of all ages to use correctly. The United Kingdom and some countries in South America, Asia, and Africa allow nonprescription contraception pills.

Opill (generic name is norgestrel) is a contraceptive medicine that is taken once a day. It is one of many hormone-based birth control pills which are the most common form of birth control in the U.S. The French drugmaker, HRA Pharma, manufactures the medicine. It has been available by prescription in the U.S. for 50 years. Many health care providers feel that hormone-based birth control medicine is more effective than all other nonprescription choices in preventing unexpected pregnancies. Americans will be able to obtain Opill online and at pharmacies, grocery stores, and convenience stores.

Frederique Welgryn, HRA’s chief strategy officer, said “For a product that has been available for the last 50 years, that has been used safely by millions of women, we thought it was time to make it more available.”

There should be fewer barriers to obtaining an oral contraception medicine. Women will be able to get the medicine without first seeing a health care provider. Studies have shown that teens, women of color, and low resource women are less likely to be able to access oral birth control by prescription. Changing from prescription to over-the-counter status should improve access to the medicine for these groups.

Increasing access to over-the-counter birth control pills, should reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and improve maternal and perinatal outcomes. Unplanned pregnancies are associated with delayed prenatal care, a higher rate of preterm delivery, and adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. The FDA says that almost one-half of the yearly pregnancies in the U.S. are unexpected. A recent Kaiser Family Foundation study found that one-third of women who uses birth control pills missed a dose because they couldn’t get a timely appointment to get a prescription from a health care provider.

Kelly Blanchard, president of an advocacy group that helped form Free the Pill, a coalition of more than 200 organizations, said “Amid nationwide attacks on reproductive rights, we celebrate this victory for equity, evidence-based research, and reproductive freedom.”
