Quote:It’s a perfect storm:
  • Influencers normalize distrust in medical care.
  • Politicians push restrictions that make it harder to access birth control.
  • Courts set up the legal groundwork to strip away the right to contraception altogether.
The result?
Millions of young people have already opted out of care due to a large-scale misinformation campaign. So when the legal attacks come, the backlash is smaller due to a culture war that worked first.

I'm wondering how much of them opting out of birth control is also due to the stats about how Gen Z is having way less sex apparently.

I think the right-wingers are fighting a losing front. Their shitty antisocial politics have created such an inhospitable society that what started with Millennials choosing to have less kids is cumulating even in Gen Z straight up having less sex. I think the younger generations' attitudes are: we don't care anymore. (Ofc the attacks on BC are still fucked up for women who are sexually active with men.)
