Despite the more than 120 million unintended pregnancies worldwide, options for male contraception are limited. "Once the pregnancy happens, it becomes the burden of the woman, which is why there's been a focus on female methods," said Heather Vahdat, executive director of the Male Contraceptive Initiative. "Contraception has been inextricably linked with women's empowerment .. but we've also been quietly managing some horrendous side effects. Now women are realizing it's OK to say that this isn't good enough." Many men are on board.
