IUDs work by aborting the “unborn”. It’s not birth control, it’s abortion same as the morning after pill.

If there isn’t a credible movement to ban all abortive than we’ll know how hypocritical the laws are.

So there is fertilization and conception, and then the magical IUD lets out an embryo-killing chemical?!

You and an extremely low single digit percentage of females age 15-60.

A single digit percentage of women use IUDs? Or a single digit percentage of women who use IUDs are worried they’re going to be banned?

No, the IUD makes the uterine wall inhospitable. The fertilized egg cannot implant and is spontaneously aborted.

You can really just look it up, PP. It’s not secret information. They have always worked this way.

Some what are saying that? Some riled up protestors tweeting their personal non-legal, non-medical exaggerations?

+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.

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 know! It’s crazy out there! Like Armageddon. I hope my job increases the weeks of mental health days we can take off, I’m going to use them all up this week panicking here at home online 24/7 with all this news!

Well, that was the Catholic Church’s view for decades - maybe still is. The church was against barrier methods of birth control like condoms for years.

Copper kills.

Also iud blocks the sperm entirely and the egg from entering the uterus.

No, dear. First, they aren’t copper anymore and IUDs were never a barrier method. Just look it up. Takes ten seconds.

How old are you? IUDs have become extremely popular in the last decade. Teenagers have them now. We’re not talking about Dalkon shield anymore.

No, a member of the Utah State House. People, seriously, don’t come on here and pretend you know anything when you don’t.

How does the IUD work?

The IUD works mainly by preventing fertilization of an egg by sperm. The progestin in the hormonal IUD thickens mucus found in the cervix. Thicker mucus makes it harder for sperm to enter the uterus and reach an egg. Progestin also thins the lining of the uterus.

The copper in the copper IUD interferes with sperm’s ability to move. When sperm stop acting normally, it is harder for them to enter the uterus and reach an egg.

Thank goodness my mom told it to me right way back in the 1990s.

And how much PAIN it is to insert, adjust or take out later.

What’s the usage rate or net adds per year? 50-100k women?
