Birth Control Misinformation Spreads Online
Birth control misinformation is increasing online, with posts urging women to stop using traditional oral contraceptives.
This trend is partly driven by influencers promoting hashtags like #stopthepill, #hormonefree, and #naturalbirthcontrol.
“It creates very angry and bitter young ladies and young women,”
said the late Charlie Kirk, who often criticized birth control. Another influencer, Liz Tenuto, also known as The Workout Witch, stated:
“birth control is one of the most damaging things you can put in your body, specifically for your body's biological stress response.”
Influencers are not the only ones promoting a birth-control-free lifestyle, contributing to the spread of misinformation.
