November 10, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – In the hours and days after the election, Twitter erupted with panic about the possibility of birth control no longer being completely “free” during a Trump administration.
Twitter users encouraged each other to procure birth control that will “outlast Trump,” lest they become pregnant during his presidency and are unable to abort their children.
“Ladies, if you've ever been on the fence about IUDs, now might be the time to act,” one person warned.
Ladies: get your IUD, your birth control now. Do not wait, our bodies are no longer safe.

Oh so it's probably smart to get birth control right now while it's cost efficient and you still have control over your body.

If I eat 60 packs of birth control right now i should be good until we get a president who will re-instate Roe v. Wade, right?

If you aren't on birth control now and want to get on it, choose a low-maintenance, non-refillable type while you still can. #NotMyPresident

Ladies – on a practical note go get your IUDs NOW. I am fearful about upcoming access to birth control so I would look into this option.

Make sure you get a birth control implant now because god knows you won't be able to get an abortion for the next 4 years should u need one

Get your birth control now.

Get your IUDs now ladies, who knows what kind of access to birth control options we will have moving forward

I suggest you get your reproductive health in order. Get the 10-yr IUD. Our reproductive rights are going to change drastically in January.

Go get your IUD while it's still covered and it will last for an entire presidential term.

Ladies get your IUD's before planned parenthood is defunded, healthcare stops covering it & abortion clinics cease to exist

Before Obamacare, hormonal contraception was widely available and usually covered by insurance companies.
