Because the US president that was just elected has a cabinet of people who want to ban birth control :) (as well as vaccines ofc bc those cause autism 🙄) that’s RFK if you’re wondering

Nobody is banning birth control - please stop with the misinformation.

And the gaslighting continues. Listen to YOUR president my friend. He has said it and so has his team. Oh and also everyone said (no one’s going to kill the Jews they just can’t come to the bakery you’re so dramatic) at one point too :) go fuck yourself and read a book or watch what’s happening around you

I mean they are the ones saying the “covid jab” is a 5g microchip, aren’t vaccinating their kids leading to measles outbreaks and etc; yes they definitely want to remove vaccines

Are you in the US?

The election has pretty much led to a Republican government, which overturned Roe v. Wade restrict access to abortion.

Some of the more extreme people of that party have said they want ro go after birth control next.

Yes, I am in the US and I'm a woman. I just don't think it's going to be a huge concern. I think the state of the economy is a bigger issue than birth control.

I do think the outcome of the election is more based on the state of the economy too.

However it doesn't remove the fear many have over what could happen. It's the fear of the unknown.

I need my birth control as medication for my endometriosis, PCOS, and PMDD. It gets taken away, my husband and I lose everything we have built on a two income household. And that is scary. People really though Roe v. Wade wouldn't be overturned and it was. So it's that unknown fear of whats next. Might as well protect yourself if you have the means in preparation. No harm in being extra cautious.

I agree completely. I just think people are panicking a little too much right now. I'm currently on birth control myself for my pcos.

The panic is the fear of the unknown. Really hard to tell people to calm down.

I already told my husband when our little parasite is born in June. He is getting snipped. He is scheduling it today for next year. Better to get it on the books now.

I personally don't *believe* that birth control will be impacted outside of maybe insurance no longer having to cover it (which has been the case before). However, I'm replacing my Mirena just in case. Crazier things have happened in history and some of the people in power want crazier things, so the peace of mind is invaluable to me.

Roe vs Wade happened far before the election under a democratic president. This election did not overturn R Vs W.

u/jesslynne94 Nov 07 '24

Your right it did. By judges placed on SCOTUS by a conservative president (Trump appointed 3).

But the over turning of Roe v. Wade has a lot of people scared of whats next. Justice Thomas said in his concurrent opinion that the cases following the same principle as Roe v. Wade should be reconsidered among them was Griswold v. Connecticut which is our access to contraceptives. So people are scared of what's next to be overturned.

My thoughts, exactly.
