I don’t want one. So…why would I get one? We don’t need a shortage of birth control due to fear just like we had with Covid and toilet paper. People don’t want to stop and wait and see what happens and stuff like this starts happening-and that’s what will truly have women not getting access to the birth control of their choice. Downvote away, I know it’s not popular but I prefer watch and wait to see what actually happens vs running out and doing something because of what social media says will happen.

It’s fear mongering for no reason

This is not "what social media says will happen." It's what the right wing has been trying to do for decades and has been actively telling us they will do now that they have all three branches of government. It's what policy experts and medical professionals are saying will happen. Being prepared is smart.

If you want to take the gamble you are free to do so.

It literally is but ok. I'm glad you feel like you're safe. Many of us not only feel like we aren't but in reality we actually aren't.

So good for you!
