Are IUDs likely to be outlawed?

[Anonymous]

This is my ONLY usable form of birth control. I am sincerely worried.

I would be worried to considering they can be used as emergency abortion. I think they're effective up to 3 days after unprotected sex if implanted.

It depends on where you live. In California, you’ll be fine. But in the banning states, the IUD and other forms of birth control that cause spontaneous abortions will be banned.

Yep. There is no right for women to control their bodies.

Are you in a red state? If yes, I would be worried.

Some are saying anything that stands in the way of sperm making it's way to the egg is on the table. At most, apparently "women should be able to control their semen intake", so I guess we still have that. /s

[Anonymous]

I honestly cannot believe this is what women have to worry about

Sorry, honey, you live in backwards land - no birth control for you!

I hate this place right now

Don’t worry - Gilead will rise in 2025 when the Rs take control and ban all of it.

Actually IUDs and a few other birth control medications do abort a fertilized egg. They aren’t barrier methods. So if life begins at conception (fertilization) then yes - they are abortions.

+1. If you’ve the financial means, find a good gynecologist in your closest neighboring blue state and start a patient-doctor relationship now (in case someone turns you in after they’re banned). And take someone of lesser means with you.

Jesus, help us. This really is the world we live in now, isn’t it?

I mean, can we just stop and marvel at how unbelievably insane this all is? The lengths women are now going to have to go to to just receive very common medical advice

I had an ob-gyn talk me out of an IUD and later I realized she was probably pro-life and didn't want to have a patient use a contraceptive that might keep a fertilized egg from implanting.

Thanks, zealots.

Get the paraguard. The copper kills sperm.

IUD user in the deep south here. I have no worries. There does not appear to be any credible movement to ban birth control.
