Birth Control Misinformation Spreads Online
Birth control misinformation is spreading rapidly online, with posts urging women to stop using traditional oral contraceptives.
This trend is partly driven by right-wing influencers promoting higher birth rates, using hashtags like #stopthepill, #hormonefree, and #naturalbirthcontrol.
“It creates very angry and bitter young ladies and young women,”
said the late Charlie Kirk, who often expressed views critical of birth control.
Another influencer, Liz Tenuto, also known as The Workout Witch, stated in a video:
“birth control is one of the most damaging things you can put in your body, specifically for your body's biological stress response.”
Influencers like Tenuto are contributing to the promotion of a birth-control-free lifestyle.
