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.
