they are going to come for your contraception, it is literally only a matter of time. I just replaced my IUD and if you think any of the long-term methods of contraception would be a good fit for you and/or your partner, now is the time to do it
MURRAY: The Trump admin falsely labeled birth control as abortion. Do you agree that an IUD is an abortifacient?
OVERTON: If confirmed, I'll be fully briefed
M: That's not an answer. The prospect of an FDA commissioner who doesn't know that birth control isn't an abortion is deeply alarming
O: 😊
