Emergencies do happen. But they are very rare.
We hear every.single.day how a mother had an emergency surgery. Emergencies look and feel a certain way. They are quick and rushed and it is a rescue mission. If there was time to prep and your partner came back and you were awake, odds are, it was not an emergency. It was a situation that was decided on by your providers. Perhaps still a warranted surgical birth, but not an emergency. We have both worked in all three birth settings. We have witnessed all the birth philosophies. Most cesareans are not needed. Always ask. Am I safe right now? Is my baby safe right now? Do I have time to make a decision? What if I decide to wait? If there is time and everyone is safe…it’s policy or philosophy, both of which may not be in your best interest.

Fear-mongering at its finest.

Men without a uterus and definitely without a basic understanding of birth and birth control are making laws that hurt families.

Enough is enough!

"“Emergency contraception is not an abortifacient,” said Dr. Colleen McNicholas, chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri. “There is an intentional strategy to conflate the two so that people are confused, and that is really dangerous.”

“Plan B, ella and IUDs are pregnancy prevention methods — not disruptors,” she said.

State Rep. Tracy McCreery, D-Olivette, said that because levonorgestrel is an ingredient used in common birth control methods in addition to Plan B, other forms of contraception could be banned by the legislation.

“You can tell that they didn’t necessarily talk to doctors and people that understand how birth control works,” she said."

Conservatives are pushing to ban Medicaid coverage for certain forms of contraception in Missouri.
