The CPTwomen Wikipedia Timeline: 

On July 24, 2015, the Coalition for Post Tubal Women’s Wikipedia page was in place. (see above)

On September 24, 2015, the CPTwomen Wikipedia Page was deleted just hours after Dr. Vikki Hufnagel, MD gave testimony to the FDA regarding the Essure birth control device.

The CPTwomen (http://www.tubal.org) has been in place on the web since 1998. We work to inform the public of side effects of female sterilization known as post sterilization syndrome and issues of informed consent. Members and activists from the CPTwomen and elsewhere are working to expose a dangerous medical device manufactured by Bayer which is used as a permanent birth control. This medical device is called "ESSURE".

See the Facebook page associated with the CPTwomen: and more information about the Essure device: http://essureproblems.webs.com/

On 9-24-2015 public testimony was given to the FDA regarding Essure by Dr. Hufnagel who works with the CPTwomen - See her testimony: Hufnagel FDA testimony on Essure - "The Mayhem of Essure" 09/24/2015   (below)

See her position paper about Essure (which cites the vandalized wiki page)

Crimes of Essure and the FDA

This document was provided directly to the FDA public panel as testimony prior to 09/24/2015.

See:  https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=FDA-2014-N-0736-1868

Within this document Dr. Hufnagel states:

“Women need to be informed that with the use of Essure they will be at higher risk for hysterectomy, and of all the risks associated with hysterectomy.” ~ Dr. Vikki Hufnagel

Many have been very vocal about the short comings and abuses we have seen with Essure, the FDA, Bayer, the ACOG and more.

The wiki page created was true and factual.

There is NO reason for the wiki page to have been deleted. 

The action of working to delete the CPTwomen Wikipedia page is something that a "Crisis Management" Public Relations firm would do. 

Actions such as this shows conspiracy and RICO.

==History==

The CPTwomen was founded in 1998 by Susan Bucher as a group to provide information about known and possible effects of tubal ligation.  It broadened to educate about all forms of female sterilization, hormone health, issues of informed consent, and women’s health rights.{{cite web|last1=IL|first1=Chicago|title=New Book Exposes Untold Side Effects of Tubal Ligation|url=http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/03/prweb359213.htm|accessdate=23 July 2015}}

In 1999 the CPTwomen protested a “live" on-line hysterectomy hosted by OBGYN.net because studies showed hysterectomy is a common surgery suggested to and performed on women after female sterilization. {{cite web|last1=Hillis|first1=SD|title=Higher hysterectomy risk for sterilized than nonsterilized women: findings from the U.S. Collaborative Review of Sterilization. The U.S. Collaborative Review of Sterilization Working Group.|url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9469283|website=ncbi|accessdate=23 July 2015}}

Later that year the CPTwomen worked with other advocate organizations on issues of patient rights and to open up to the public the [[National Practitioner Data Bank]] in order to provide the public with information and protection.

Bucher went on to present to the IL National Organization of Women (NOW) at their state conference a “Tubal Ligation Resolution” which passed unanimously. The resolution calls for IL NOW lead the way for other states by lobbying their (IL) state representatives and legislative bodies to put in place laws that would protect women when consenting to a tubal ligation.

The CPTwomen has provided information and educated countless women world wide via broadcast, print, and the World Wide Web. The organization’s website utilizes a language translate app to communicate in over 35 different languages.  {{cite web|title=Forced Sterilization (Tubal Ligation) Continues in the US - Fraudulent Practices are Inbred in the Consent Process|url=http://www.prweb.com/releases/2005/03/prweb221186.htm|accessdate=23 July 2015}}

==Purpose and programs==

The organization purpose is to provide comprehensive information about female sterilization and its known and possible effects. To promote awareness and foster discussion on issues regarding bioethics, informed consent, eugenics, reproductive rights, women’s health rights, and the war on women.

The CPTwomen is committed to the ideal that every woman has the right to the information required to make her own healthcare decisions. They encourage women to have candid discussions with their physicians about the short term and long term effects of female sterilization. They raise public awareness of the number of female sterilizations being performed without the information requisite for informed consent.{{cite web|title=New Study Examines the Side Effects of Tubal Ligation known as "Post Tubal Syndrome" (PTS)|url=http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/08/prweb151291.htm|accessdate=23 July 2015}}{{cite web|last1 = Hufnagel|first1 = V.|title = "Tubal Truth" The Ethical Doctor|url = http://hosts.blogtalkradio.com/dr-vikki-the-ethical-doctor/2013/03/15/the-ethical-doctor|website = blogtalkradio|accessdate = 23 July 2015}}

==Ongoing projects==

===Campaign to Inform===

The CPTwomen’s “Campaign to Inform” officially launched in 2002.  The campaign motto is '''''“The better informed we are, the healthier we'll be!”'''''  The campaign is ongoing and has dual meanings and focus. The first priority is to inform women and the public that all forms of sterilization (not just tubal ligation) has risks known as “sterilization syndrome”. The second focus of the campaign is for updated and better informed consent laws.

===Tubal Ligation/Sterilization Outcome Health Survey===

In 2004 the CPTwomen began work to create an independent long term health study concerning the health status of women after they have had a tubal ligation. The “Tubal Ligation/Sterilization Outcome Health Research Study” examines health and other outcomes after female sterilization (tubal ligation, clips, Essure, etc…). It is the first and only research study of its kind which is independently supported by and examines in detail first person reports by women who underwent sterilization. The study collects data such as satisfaction with the sterilization procedure (or product), and satisfaction with the consent process and medical claims which were made in advance of sterilization.

===Project FSH===

"Project FSH" is an extension of the CPTwomen’s Tubal Ligation/Sterilization Outcome Health Survey.  The focus of “Project FSH” is to examine in detail hormone health and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels after tubal sterilization. The program offers free home FSH tests to women who qualify.
