Birth control is disempowering!

Birth control was originally seen as empowerment for women, it allowed us to get out of the home, it allowed us to have careers, it allowed us freedom. Or did it?

I read the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility over 2 years ago, and I had no idea how much it changed my life. I read recently about tubal ligation regrets, I read all these adverse effects of so many birth control option and it’s scary. The male medical model trying to control the intricate, sensitive, glorious female body. Control, it didn’t give us freedom it gave the male medical model control!

Women are naturally able to control conception. We can observe our fertility, our cycles, the ebb and flow of our cervical fluid, the changes in postion and closing to opening to closing of our cervix, and we can prevent pregnancy! Without hormones, without intrauterine devices, with a harsh abbrasive detergent aka spermicide, without permanetly altering our PERFECT bodies. Incredible.
