[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Turning Point USA’s Alex Clark is on a misinformation campaign against hormonal birth control “In her rants, Clark only briefly mentions that some people use contraception to prevent needing medical treatment for non-contraceptive purposes, including acne, endometriosis, and reducing menstrual pain. Her rampant misinformation against the pill echoes Turning Point’s anti-abortion stance and encouragement of women to get married and have children at a young age.” https://www.mediamatters.org/health-care/turning-point-usas-alex-clark-misinformation-campaign-against-hormonal-birth-control[/quote] 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.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/03/21/stopping-birth-control-misinformation/[/quote] 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 [/quote] You are forcing your almost 30 year old daughter to take medication against her will? [/quote] She’s 18 (the second number was incorrect). And she came around on the implant, thankfully.[/quote] Old to make medical decisions independently. You threatened to have her restrained by a team of doctors. Aren’t you for reproductive choice?[/quote]
