We can’t say #ThxBirthControl without acknowledging the history of reproductive violence and coercion. 🧵
I love birth control! I love that it is a tool that allows people to choose when/if they have children. I love contraceptive counseling and assisting patients in achieving goals.
I hate inequitable access & reproductive coercion.

Historically, Black, Indigenous, and Latinx people, people with disabilities, poor people, and incarcerated people, have been systemically abused in the development of contraception.
I never wanted children and I am childfree by choice so #ThxBirthControl - all of the various methods I’ve used.

I wish I could talk to my grandmother so that I can hear from her what it was like to be pregnant 14 times. I was 13 yo when she died and had not had that conversation with her.
My paternal grandmother had eight children.

A different take? While living on an overpopulated planet with limited resources & orphaned children, choosing to procreate is quite possibly the most selfish thing that anyone could do.
FWIW, I don't actually think that parents are inherently selfish. I also don't think that #childfree people are inherently selfish. The decision to have children or not to have children is personal, and it's not on anyone to make a judgment call either way.
Btw, just because someone doesn't have children of their own doesn't mean they haven't spent a significant portion of their life caring for, financially supporting, and/or raising another human. #Children #childfree
