Oral contraceptives are used by a large percentage of women, including Christian women. There are known health risks to women demonstrated in research published since Pope Paul VI\u2019s prophetic encyclical Humanae vitae in 1968. These risks include venous thrombosis, cardiovascular risks, and an increased risk of cancer. These risks are medically recognized with continued scientific debate on the degree. The risks are significantly increased with preexisting conditions and in certain demographic groups. Discussing known and potential treatment risks is a standard that is both accepted by the medical community and is increasingly expected by patients. This discussion can be accomplished by the mechanism and principle of informed consent. Depending on the circumstances, abstinence or fertility awareness-based methods (FABMs) should be presented to patients. FABMs are licit, safe, and effective methods of pregnancy prevention. Informed consent is the most effective means of providing patients with pertinent information on the significant risks of contraception.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Summary:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This article discusses the use of the informed consent to provide patients with information on the medical and ethical risks of oral contraceptives. FABMs and abstinence are presented as effective, safe, and licit preferences to oral contraceptives. Discussing known and potential treatment risks is accepted by the medical community and expected by patients (shared decision making). The authors discuss the historical context of Pope Paul VI\u2019s encyclical Humanae vitae in relationship to the development and rapid adoption of oral contraceptives.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0024363918813579","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,4]],"date-time":"2018-12-04T03:37:13Z","timestamp":1543894633000},"page":"375-384","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Hormonal Contraception and the Informed Consent*"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"David J.","family":"Hilger","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Omaha Guild of the CMA, Omaha, NE, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kathleen M.","family":"Raviele","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dekalb Medical, Decatur, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Teresa A.","family":"Hilgers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pope Paul VI Institute for the Study of Human Reproduction, Omaha, NE, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0024363918813579","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0010-7824(02)00288-3"},{"key":"bibr2-0024363918813579","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2004.03.040"},{"key":"bibr3-0024363918813579","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1701-2163(16)30692-2"},{"key":"bibr4-0024363918813579","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/QAD.0b013e328270388a"},{"key":"bibr5-0024363918813579","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1158\/0008-5472.CAN-13-3400"},{"key":"bibr6-0024363918813579","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1586\/erc.09.175"},{"key":"bibr7-0024363918813579","unstructured":"Canterbury v.
