1. By Cassie Stiftl LIFESTYLE DRUGS, BUDGET CUTS, AND NEOLIBERALISM: RESHAPING WOMEN’S RELATIONSHIPS TO ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES

2.  New oral contraceptives are being sold as lifestyle drugs  Yaz Advertisements  Seasonal Advertisements  Cuts to public health care resources  Planned Parenthood  Medicare/Medicaid  Debates over insurance coverage SHIFTING RELATIONSHIPS TO BIRTH CONTROL

6.  I argue these shifts can be explained by the ever increasing dominance of neoliberal ideology and values in economic policy and political debates.  Creating new products and markets  Austerity politics and privatization  However, these trends do not right the wrongs of stratified reproduction  Classed and race notions of womanhood  Unequal access to reproductive technologies HOW TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE SHIFTS
