Published today in a JAMA Health Forum research letter, policy researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health and Boston University show how the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling affected preferences for permanent contraception among males and females between the ages of 18 to 30. It’s the first study to assess how the Dobbs ruling affected both females and male interest in permanent contraception procedures. What the researchers found was that despite all the attention on male vasectomies post-Dobbs, the rise in tubal sterilizations among females was twice as high as the increase among vasectomies in males.
There’s a climate of fear that bodily autonomy is being stripped…access to abortive care in some states is restricted or banned. There’s a fear that bans on contraception might be next so yeah people are scared. It’s about choice and autonomy.
For a person with a uterus having sex with a person with a penis, it’s a matter of freedom.
Women are practically slaves if they can’t choose whether or not to give birth.
Shout out to the people in the past who experienced real slavery: your suffering literally means nothing now
