The GOP is involved in a transparent ploy to hoodwink voters into believing that the post-Roe GOP is genuinely in favor of greater access to contraception.

The *holds nose* government is potentially doing something right by launching a survey for women in England only covering the reproductive system. Whether you've been pregnant or not, want to be or not, if you have first hand experience of female reproductive matters then why not add your views and experiences and express your preferences?

Alors la vie est une surprise constamment renouvelée, depuis 1 an et demi que je suis contracepté je viens enfin de saisir la charge mentale de la contraception.
En fait on en parle, on en entend parler mais la saisir est autre chose.
Que ce soit une pilule ou un anneau en fait il y a une action a faire de manière régulière. Ce n'est rien mais dans la durée cela occupe par moment l'esprit.

The duration of oral contraception supplied at first prescription pick-up increased modestly after the pandemic; but, the pandemic did not dramatically alter combined oral contraceptive supply prescribing practices. #NICHDimpact #Contraception #ReproductiveHealth #Pandemic #Covid19

I don’t like #ProLife people for many reasons one being because they’re hypocrites. They don’t care about lowering the #abortion rate. They care about controlling women. If they wanted to lower the abortion rate they wouldn’t oppose #BirthControl and #Contraception or #ComprehensiveSexEducation, which actually lower abortion rates. Their only solution is making abortion illegal, because the #Conservative solution to everything is to make something illegal.

Many urban areas deal with escaped pets and a plethora of other once domestic companion animals. The practice of TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) is paramount in trying to deal with the population explosion and is a constant struggle.

Now, Harvard scientists have developed a gene therapy using anti-müllerian hormone that acts as a contraceptive and lasts years with no reduction in effectiveness.

When "#Conservative" tries to tell you that "it's only against abortion, not against women" and "it's 'only' against #trans but against gays and lesbians" - then they lie. Every time.

Texas' GOP tries to throw Planned Parenthood out of the state.

After the abortion ban:
"Planned Parenthood has been cut out of funding for cancer screenings, contraception, HIV prevention and sex education."

That's also a target for "Conservative":
#Contraception, sex ed and #HIV advice.

"The federal government promises free health care for Native Americans, which it provides through both federally-operated clinics and funding for Native American tribes and private organizations to run their own clinics. The federal government requires its own clinics to provide emergency contraception, but many tribally-run clinics do not."

Individuals experiencing income loss and food insecurity were more likely to report they would be using a different method of contraception if not for COVID-19, compared to respondents without income loss or food insecurity. A larger share of respondents —14% in July 2020 and 22% in Jan 2021— reported not using their preferred method of contraception due to COVID-19.

"In the coming months, Americans will also be able to grab an over-the-counter treatment for their heavy periods, cramps, headaches, and even migraines; they’ll have prescription-free access to a drug for endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome; and they’ll be able to buy a medication that can mitigate the symptoms of menopause. It’s all in the same, progestin-based pill."

LB: We told you. WE TOLD YOU THIS WAS COMING. They will not stop until we are locked into the Handmaid's Tale. This fight is central to all the fights. It is a Civil Rights issue. It is a Black Issue. It is a labor issue. It is a LGBTQ+ issue. It most assuredly is a women's issue. The fight is the same, and this is one of the key battlefronts, which we are losing. #AbortionRights #Contraception #BansOffOurBodies
