Since the birth control pill was introduced in 1960, contraceptive options have expanded to include the patch, the ring, injections, and IUDs. And this year, some provinces began offering free prescriptions for contraception. But even with more access, there’s still widespread skepticism and misinformation, much of it spreading quickly online. On this episode of Just Asking, we take your questions about the risks and realities of birth control, how to talk about it with partners and young people, and what new options may be on the horizon. Joining us are Dr. Rahima Alani, a family physician whose clinical work includes Planned Parenthood, and Natalya Mason, a registered social worker and sexual health educator.
