And here we are: “Physicians say they’re seeing an explosion of birth-control misinformation online targeting a vulnerable demographic: people in their teens and early 20s who are more likely to believe what they see on their phones because of algorithms that feed them a stream of videos reinforcing messages often divorced from scientific evidence.”

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

You are forcing your almost 30 year old daughter to take medication against her will?

18 year old not 30 learn to read. Not my post. See the first line "my child just recently turned 18"

She’s 18 (the second number was incorrect). And she came around on the implant, thankfully.

Old to make medical decisions independently. You threatened to have her restrained by a team of doctors. Aren’t you for reproductive choice?

18 is a legal adult.

The mom is the one that needs to be restrained.

Way to miss the point. Her daughter was being brainwashed by TikTok lies.

Oh, FFS. She knows she needs some form of birth control to treat her problems with her reproductive system. The TikTok stuff had her freaked about the implant. She came to me for advice and to share what she was seeing. We discussed and I explained the statistics and told her to please stuff getting medical info on TikTok. I was teasing about restraining her, sheesh. I was just remembering that she and her younger sister have over time had to be held down by multiple medical staff for blood draws and such-it’s upsetting for everyone, but does sometimes need to happen.

Yes, she is “an adult” but she is also a high schooler still in our house and on our health insurance. It is a weird in between point, yes. She still needs guidance.

STOP getting medical advice. Ack - not being able to edit is annoying.

A phrase that never totally captures the desperation of what that era was like for women. The frantic feeling of realizing you’re pregnant again, remembering the worst symptoms from each pregnancy, knowing your husband isn’t going to materially help. Just when they got their heads above water…

They want to remove women from roles historically filled by rich, white men.

This makes me want to cry. Do Americans really want to go back to this era? We need a blue wave.
