The dark birth control industry

It must be the biggest scam of modern days. It's a band-aid method, it won't fix your problems, but intensify them once you quit for whatever reason. It also has a very sketchy history since it was invented, worth your research.

I encourage everyone woman to listen to this podcast episode. We deserve to know what we put inside our bodies.

Republicans won't stop at abortion. They want to be overseers of all reproduction. They won't be happy unless they are able to monitor every bedroom and doctor's office in the US.

We recently saw how the Republican Alabama Supreme Court ruled against IVF. That ruling was peppered with copious references to Christian fundamentalist beliefs.

Now Republicans are turning attention to birth control. The unhinged MAGA crank Charlie Kirk ranted about this recently.

Charlie Kirk, the head of the MAGA propaganda behemoth Turning Point USA, recently unveiled a novel theory as to why young women tend to vote for Democrats. Unwilling to admit that women can think for themselves, Kirk floated the theory that birth control pills cause brain damage. "Birth control like really screws up female brains," he falsely claimed before a crowd at a recent church event streamed on the far-right site Rumble. Claiming the pill "increases depression, anxiety [and] suicidal ideation," he then blamed women's voting patterns on hormonal contraception. "It creates very angry and bitter young ladies and young women," Kirk argued.

I would argue that Trump and his followers are the ones with screwed up brains. There is a strong tendency of misogynistic patriarchy in the GOP. They feel a need to control women – possibly because of their own feelings of sexual inadequacy.

But of course, Kirk is not sincerely mistaken and he certainly isn't concerned about the wellbeing of women, which all reputable research shows is dramatically improved by having control over their fertility. Kirk's doctor cosplay is part of a much larger and semi-coordinated strategy among right-wing leaders to demonize birth control and train the GOP base into believing that restricting, or even banning, contraception is justified.  As the Washington Post reported last month, right-wing activists have been flooding social media with the same lies that Kirk was echoing in this video. It's a well-financed disinformation campaign, getting a major boost from MAGA billionaire Peter Thiel, who has aggressively financed teams of messengers to falsely claim that hormonal birth control "tricked our bodies into dysfunction and pain." Doctors report that the tidal wave of misinformation about birth control is creating a health care crisis, including women who "come in for abortions after believing what they see on social media about the dangers of hormonal birth control." 

Female empowerment is anathema to many on the far right. And the right to control one's body is part of that empowerment.

At heart, Republicans are anti-freedom.

Of course, the real reason MAGA leaders don't like birth control is they oppose the freedom and opportunities that it has afforded women. Kirk barely bothers to hide that this is his real agenda. In the very same talk, he also tries to threaten women who hold out for Mr. Right instead of settling for Mr. Incel: "In their early 30's they get really upset because they say the boys don't want to date me anymore because they're not at their prime," he claims, echoing the unevidenced revenge fantasy that dominates misogynist message boards. 

Roe v. Wade had been the law of the land for over 49 years until the Trump-Bush Supreme Court rescinded it in 2022.

Birth control medications have been around since 1960. Despite that 64 year precedent, don't think that Republicans won't try to find some way to ban them if given a chance.

CW for period talk and internalized ableism

I’m so tired of spotting on the pill!! I go 10 days without a period and then I start bleeding lightly again. I have no cramps or other period symptoms, but it’s so inconvenient and expensive. I wish my body wasn’t defective.

hey people who got on the pill, did this shit also fuck you up in the beginning? cause it's literally been two days, and yesterday i went on a cleaning spree, fell asleep at 9pm, and woke up now at 5am cause the anxiety is coming back with a vengeance even tho it shouldn't cause i take meds for that

and yk i figured since the only change was that i started taking birth control pills because according to the nice obgyn doctor in the er yesterday, that's the only way to stop my periods from feeling like they will kill me and worry that i actually have appendicitis every month, so maybe the pills are the reason i'm all fucked up

The surgery has me walking around like the hunchback of Notre Dame, lol. It hurts, but it's funny.

Anyways... Despite being sterilized now, I'm still going to be taking birth control pills to keep controlling ovarian cysts.

They found one during the surgery and removed it for me.

That explains a lot of recent symptoms I've been having.

If the Supreme Court goes after Griswold next, then there will no longer be a constitutional right to both control methods. Long-term methods you could get now include IUDs and arm implants and they should last you several years.

IUDs or intrauterine devices are super common! you probably know someone who has had one.

Hormonal IUDs use the same stuff as birth control pills. Copper IUDs are great if you have had no luck with hormonal contraceptives.

the arm implant is super cool and makes u a bionic person :-)

Most American women favor making the birth control pill accessible over the counter. According to a 2017 Kaiser Family Foundation survey, three-quarters of women of reproductive age support over-the-counter access to birth control pills. 

So why hasn’t it happened? It must be that awful, religious-right-dominated GOP that’s standing in the way, right?

Actually, not so much.

Republicans, in fact, have repeatedly tried to make birth control pills available without a prescription, only to face opposition from . . . Democrats and Planned Parenthood.
