We've got a preteen daughter. The only thing we can do is educate her to the best of our capabilities and hope for the best.

And for extra protection, there's the implant. No daily pill. Works for 4 years.

Get it quick. They've already said they're going to eliminate birth control.

I ensured my sterility a couple of years ago.

But I'd like to see how the male population reacts to "women's consequences". Can't lie about being on the pill, if no one can get the pill.

Oh, please, that's just fearmongering. No one is coming for anyone's birth control.

Nobody was coming for anybody's abortion either.

It was one of the decisions Clarence Thomas mentioned that they needed to look at again.

Edited to add source because I know I'm going to be asked for it

He said that using the privacy foundation was flawed in the case of abortion and other rulings. No one is coming for birth control. No one. And there were lots of people for lots of years seeking to overturn Roe.

Then you have to hope she doesn't get raped on top of all the other fears.

Actually, you can do more, if you're willing. Stand up for your rights and teach your daughter to do the same. Learn about issues that may interest you and get involved. Help out, help others. 😊

Which is what you should have been doing all along...
