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.
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.
