Monday, Amy & Allison braved the first 🥶 Iowa day to see Freeda Womb! The giant IUD returned to DSM to remind us of the importance of access to contraception. It allows folks to plan their futures, pursue their dreams, and decide if/when to grow their family. @AFContraception

Today is #WorldContraceptionDay! This year's theme: "A choice for all. Freedom to plan, power to choose." Access to birth control is essential to bodily autonomy & achieving full potential; it helps reduce teen births, prevent maternal deaths, & further equality. #ThxBirthControl

Public health officials, including family planning clinics, are working hard to make sure everyone knows about syphilis. Cases are continuing to rise 📈so make sure you get tested!
Over 200k cases were reported in 2022, the most since 1950.

“The best contraceptive method is the one that works best for the client. The best way to do that is for clinics to have as many options as they are able to offer.” @FPCIowa https://t.co/5W2zS0rRtf

[FPCIowa @FPCIowa]

We're proud to partner with @polkcohealth to offer free emergency contraception! Levonorgestrel tablets, also known as the morning-after pill or Plan B, prevent pregnancy up to 72 hours after unprotected sex. They are available in PCHD's clinic bathrooms

Everyone should have the #RightoContraception. Always happy to spread information about the importance of contraception, especially as both a legislator and doctor. Thanks for having me, @AFContraception & @FPCIowa! #FreedaWomb #fpciowa #reprorights #docinthehouse

[Polk County Health @polkcohealth]

The Community Village is FREE- you don’t need a festival pass to stop by. Lots of great organizations here too!

Fake clinics do not provide health care to people with low incomes—and @propublica’s investigation reveals that these programs have never been evaluated for effectiveness in TX. https://t.co/OtS3PYtJMV

[NFPRHA @NFPRHA]

The data are in: states with abortion bans have seen a corresponding sharp decrease in prescriptions filled for contraception. https://t.co/JdLQy7EZvx

[FPCIowa @FPCIowa]

Don’t forget- you can still order a free repro kit at https://t.co/8rrUdkNBDq

[Bleeding Heartland @LauraRBelin]

If you have irregular menstrual cycles, being a week or two late might not be unusual.
But if you don't want to be forced to continue a pregnancy against your will in Iowa, it's now important to test immediately as soon as you think you might be pregnant.

Abortion is a part of reproductive healthcare. No politician or judge should be able to control your right to make decisions about your body. We are committed to offering information on the full spectrum of reproductive care. For more info: https://t.co/7kzI7fXmEk.
