<description>&lt;p&gt;In today's episode, Kate looks at the increase in anti-birth control content on social media and how it comes at a time when reproductive rights are under attack in the United States. She discusses the wellness influencers that are telling young women to get off of the pill and how this has influenced perspectives on contraceptive care. Kate explains why this messaging is dangerous when there is a coordinated, well-funded conservative movement looking at rolling back a woman's right to contraception. Tune in to learn about the history of bodily autonomy in the United States and better understand the rise in "natural cycles" content across your feed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Resources Mentioned:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.mediamatters.org/project-2025/inside-project-2025s-attack-reproductive-rights-contraception"&gt;Inside Project 2025's attack on reproductive rights: Contraception &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.guttmacher.org/article/2025/09/right-waging-quiet-war-contraception"&gt;The right is waging a quiet war on contraception &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="instagram.com/seamossgirlies"&gt;instagram.com/seamossgirlies &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="instagram.com/kateglavan"&gt;instagram.com/kateglavan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener"&gt;omnystudio.com/listener&lt;/a&gt; for privacy information.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
