The Republicans who want to ban birth control

[Anonymous]

Yep. They are on a misinformation campaign, like the women on here who claim it "kills their sex drive."

BS!

I’m actually living this right now. My child just recently turned 18. Since she started her period, she has suffered with reproductive system problems. At 15, to alleviate severe cramping, we tried an IUD. It didn’t work for her and we moved onto some other device (I think it was the updated version of the ring). That also didn’t work for her. Over a year and at least 3 ovarian cysts later, we are getting her an implant in her arm. She stupidly watched some bs propaganda on TikTok and is now attempting to back out of this. She HAS to have something due to impact on her overall health and she is terrible at taking oral medication. I explained to her that she shouldn’t get medical advice from people on TikTok. Hormonal birth control is the only treatment for her problems. Thanks to misinformation, she now thinks she’s going to wind up poisoned or something.

Please send your tots and pears towards NoVA tomorrow I might be restraining my 28 year old with a team of doctors

Explain to me how this is misinformation:

Many DCUMer here have advocated putting their daughters on BC for cramps.

I also went into deep depression when on BC, is my lived experiences a lie?

Many women have also said they don’t like the side effects of BC like weight gain, are they also giving out misinformation? Should they believe you and not their bodies?

This is like when Democrats were censoring or deleting vax side effects because they expected the sheeple to follow along unquestioningly.

People shouldn’t get medical advice from TikTok, but their own experiences shouldn’t be discounted because it doesn’t jive with some narrative.

Side effects happen with any medication. No, your experience isn’t discounted, but also needs to be viewed in context with statistics.

Which is exactly what I am trying to tell my daughter.

+1 And there are roughly 900 different kinds of birth control pills, many of which won’t have the side effects the first one you try does. The misinformation is painting everything with the same broad brush.

Np:
Also your “lived experience” is anecdotal.
Absolutely do what is right for you, but don’t get it twisted. That information isn’t equal to actual research and peer reviewed studies.
And certainly women’s health has suffered from lack of studies. We should push for more research, studies, and development of birth control.
That is exactly the opposite of what the right wing nut jobs are advocating.

Well lookie here ms antivax posted.

It is none of your business if a doctor prescribes BC
It is none of your business if a women decides she wants to take any form of BC.

MNRA vaccines are safe fact.

You want women uneducated barefoot and pregnant in poverty screw off.
We are not having the religious right tell women how to behave ie Hawley's new ad or katie Britt breathless garbage.

Ladies vote in November like you never voted before for your daughters and granddaughters and yourselves.

If you are brain dead and vote Republican for a Dictator who will establish women are totally below second class citizens that is on you.

The whole point of freedom is, you don't have to take BC and no one else gets to tell me and my girls what to do. It's a decision between the doctor and the patient. No politicians.

People shouldn't get medical advice from TikTok. End of discussion.

There are side effects that are possible from any medication, but some are common and some are rare. Report your side effects to your physician and discuss other options. That's the way it should go.

And as soon as you starts talking nonsense about Dems and vaccines...we write you off as a nutter.

This is really glib. There is a whole generation of women's lives about to be ruined.

Because it’s never going to happen. This isn’t like reversing Roe. On what legal basis could they do this? And this would be ridiculously unpopular across the country.

Overturning Roe is ridiculously unpopular across the country.
Remember when overturning roe was never gonna happen? I guess you don’t …

If overturning Roe was such a horrible mistake for republicans, who will pay the price in lost elections all over the country, as democrats are constantly telling us, then why are dems upset about them overturning Roe? I mean, dems should be ecstatic they overturned it, because they’ll win elections because of it.

Why are dems pretending to be upset about it? They should be high-fiving each other at all the elections they’re going to win in ‘24. Why claim to be angry about it?

Because between the overturning and getting it back, hundreds of thousands of women suffer and even die? Some of us care about our fellow human beings and don’t want to win elections based on their suffering. Because we aren’t soulless autonomatons whole lack an empathy chip.

I’m glad her menstrual cycle is beautiful. My DD bleeds incredibly heavily (as in, her bed looks like a slasher film was shot there) ten days on, 5 days off if she isn’t on hormonal birth control. Way too heavily to manage her period in school and we had to buy her a new mattress. She’s very petite a doesn’t have enough fat to make sufficient estrogen. In three months between starting her period and starting hormonal birth control, he because severely anemic. But sure, it was blood well a beautiful site.

My endometriosis wasn’t beautiful.
Specialists have told me that earlier (consistent) use of hormonal birth control would have saved my fallopian tubes, that were destroyed by the disease.
Unfortunately I went off the pill for long stretches between partners.
