Should I Get an IUD Before Trump Is President?
Ladies, Get Your IUDs Before Trump Takes Office
In the aftermath of Donald Trump's shocking election victory, we can't help but feel concerned about the future of women's health. Trump has made it no secret that one of his most prominent goals once he takes office is to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which currently guarantees women free access to various types of birth control, from pills and rings to emergency contraception and intrauterine devices (IUDs). It is highly possible that after the president-elect takes office on Jan. 20, 2017, women will no longer have access to free birth control.
Naturally, women have been dealing with this scary realization by posting on Twitter to encourage others to get their IUDs while they can. It's important to take the time to consider your options at this especially vulnerable time for women's reproductive rights.
I have truly never been more shocked in my life. Hug your friends a little tighter, promise to protect each other, & everyone go get an IUD

The only thing I was motivated to do today was set up an IUD consultation with my gyno.

Remember @PPact bills on a sliding scale if you don't have insurance. GO GET IUD BIRTH CONTROL BEFORE YOU LOSE YOUR RIGHTS TO YOUR BODY.
