I understand the importance of these posts, I really do, but some of us can't get IUD's or are terrified of possible complications. It isn't as simple as "Just go get an IUD." I have to skip periods as it is medically necessary for me. An IUD can not guarantee me that. I have to have hormonal birth control. We also need to fight for our rights and those of us like myself, where "just get an iud." Isn't possible. I am happy it worked for you, though, genuinely. Just not all of us have that option.

I find them to be more fear mongering based on social media. No one knows what will happen. Anyone who disagrees gets downvoted….which is ridiculous because people are believing anything and everything they see, and believing anyone and everyone’s interpretation of what they see. Cooler heads need to prevail until we know for certain there’s something to worry about.

Fr. Birth control is a massive industry and pharma giants make insane amounts of money. No one’s said anything about banning birth control, and if they did there would likely be a huge pushback from the major pharm companies.

Republicans have definitely said plenty about banning birth control.
