Improving access to Long Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARC) to reduce unplanned pregnancies & increase opportunity for women and their families

[Brighter Futures @stlbrightfuture]

So many of our city neighbors that moved here say the same thing!

“But this region is just too good not to be great.” And WHY does this region hate itself so much?

A good article.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch just kicked off a major editorial series/project on the future of their downtown. It's going to be free to non-subscribers. Here's the first installment, which is pretty good. https://t.co/CiHGGVABqX

Despite the clickbait headline, the piece itself is great. It highlights issues that a lot of us are actively working on and making progress and despite those issues, the reality of downtown is far better than perception.

Medication abortions account for over half of all abortions.

If the Supreme Court makes mifepristone less accessible, it will increase demand for procedural abortions and compromise the accessibility of abortion care for all of us – even people living in states without bans.

Fact: Birth control, including emergency contraception (EC), is legal and available in Missouri.

@bobclarkbeyond @ClaycoInc Thank you @bobclarkbeyond for supporting women.

I’d love the opportunity to discuss STL based Brighter Futures if interested. https://t.co/kaqq7Vfom2

How about STL use some of our relief funds to support LARC access (IUD’s and the implant) to underserved STL women? Needed now more than ever. #supportwomen #contraception #healthcare

[Brighter Futures @stlbrightfuture]

Contraception
1. Ability to decide when to have kids has HUGE economic/health benefits to young people, kids + overall families.
2. Supporting birth control saves tax $ by reducing safety net programs when people become unintentional parents.
3. Birth control prevents abortions.

Access to Long Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARC) is important for the health and opportunity of women and families. #ThxBirthControl https://t.co/tlbRCkHnsW

Low income women are 5 times more likely to experience an unplanned pregnacy than their more affluent peers? Why? Unequal access to long acting reversible contraception (LARC) is a major factor.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just confirmed Sarah Pitlyk to a lifetime federal judgeship in Missouri.

This is DEEPLY disturbing. Pitlyk was rated *unanimously* Not Qualified and has spent her career focused on restricting reproductive rights and women’s access to health care.
