📢 IUDs do NOT cause abortions!
We repeat: IUDs are NOT abortifacients! 📢
Falsely conflating the two creates an opening for abortion restrictions to affect contraceptive access!
IUDs are more than 99% effective. Hormonal IUDs can last for 3 to 8 years depending on the type, and non-hormonal (copper) IUDs can last up to 10 years.
IUDs change the uterine environment, but their primary contraceptive action occurs before fertilization. Evidence shows they work mainly by interfering with s***m and preventing s***m from fertilizing an egg. IUDs do not disrupt an established pregnancy and are not abortifacients.
Access to both contraception and abortion care is essential to reproductive autonomy, and reproductive autonomy is a human right. đź©·
