	== New paragraph ==

	A paragraph was recently added... The practice of birth control is frequently related with the concept of abortion, but forced sterilization is another procedure that often came hand-in-hand with contraceptive practices. In the year 1973, in the state of Alabama, eleven girls were sterilized in a funded birth-control clinic where they fooled into legally receiving permission to perform the practice of sterilization. The young women were in search for a birth control procedure; however, their illiterate, African-American mother was under the belief that she was presented with the paper form of authorization for a birth control injection when in fact she held the release form consenting sterilization. In reality, she marked an "X" signifying the consent for her twelve and fourteen year old daughters to be sterilized and never have the ability to bare children again. Also, during this time in the United States, a number of gynecologists vowed that if legalization ever came, they would refuse to terminate any pregnancy unless the woman consented to simultaneous sterilization...

	== Sterilization ==

	The section that deals with sterilization mentions the fact that a certain percentage of women end up regretting their decision to get a tubal ligation. This fact is interesting and important to the article. In the interest of completeness, does anyone have statistics on how many men regret their vasectomies?

	== History section ==

	I replaced this inaccurate statement:<blockquote>], of France, developed mifepristone, the first emergency contraceptive, in 1980.</blockquote> with this accurate statement:<blockquote>In 1980, ] chemist Georges Teutsch synthesized the progesterone receptor antagonist ] (RU-486); in 1982, endocrinologist ] reported its successful use for ].</blockquote>
	Mifepristone was '''''not''''' the first emergency contraceptive.<br/>
	<u>History of emergency contraceptives</u>:
	* In the mid-1960s, Morris and van Wagenen in the U.S. and Haspels in the Netherlands began using oral high-dose estrogen (DES and ethinyl estradiol) for emergency contraception, which were approved in the U.S. and Netherlands in the 1970s.
	* In 1974, Yuzpe in Canada introduced his regimen of combination oral contraceptives for emergency contraception, which were marketed as Schering PC4 in Britain in 1984, and as Preven in the U.S. in 1998.
	* In 1976, Lippes in the U.S. reported the successful use of the copper IUD for emergency contraception.
	* In 1979, Gedeon Richter in Hungary introduced Postinor (0.75 mg levonorgestrel) for emergency contraception, which was introduced as NorLevo (outside the U.S.) and Plan B (in the U.S.) in 1999.
	* Around 2000, China approved mifepristone 10 mg and 25 mg for emergency contraception.
	* In 2009, ulipristal acetate was introduced for emergency contraception in Europe, then in the U.S. in 2010.
	<u>History of mifepristone</u>:
	* In 1980, Georges Teutsch of Roussel Uclaf in France synthesized mifepristone.
	* In 1981, Étienne-Émile Baulieu of France arranged for a clinical trial by Walter Herrmann in Switzerland using mifepristone for medical abortion.
	* In 1982, Étienne-Émile Baulieu in France reported the successful use of mifepristone for medical abortion by Walter Herrmann in Switzerland.
	* In 1988, mifepristone 200 mg (accompanied by a prostaglandin) was approved in France and China for medical abortion.
	* Around 2000, China approved mifepristone 10 mg and 25 mg for emergency contraception.
	* In 2012, mifepristone 300 mg was approved in the U.S. as Korlym to treat endogenous Cushing's syndrome.
