Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec recently discussed the pitfalls of birth control with the Babylon Bee’s Ashley St. Clair. St. Clair mentioned that many young girls are put on birth control from an early age, which prevents them from being able to sufficiently investigate its effects before agreeing to be put on it.
Posobiec asked St. Clair to break down the reality of Big Birth Control, and how it has been used throughout the US since its inception. St. Clair kicked off the segment, saying that there are “millions and millions of women on birth control,” and that many places allow women to purchase it online.
St. Clair continued: “Most women are put on it at 13, 14, and there's so little education about the history of birth control and what it's currently doing to women now. And the history of it, as you said, comes from eugenicists, like Margaret Sanger, and it's hysterical to watch the left, who wants to label everyone right-of-center Nazis, yet all of the people that they prop up and all of these organizations that they founded, have ties to eugenics and population control.”
Sanger founded Planned Parenthood in 1916, and she was a leading figure in birth control advocacy throughout the first half of the 20th century. She was also known as a sex educator and a nurse.
St. Clair continued: “You can see this also in the decisions of Roe v. Wade. Their decisions were influenced by population control theory. But the issue with birth control is that there's so many women who do not understand how bad it is for them.”
“And the reason being is because they're put on this pill so young. I, myself, was put on it at 14 and this is true for many, many women. I had light acne, and looking back, it was not really acne. It was like killing a mouse with a rocket launcher to put me on birth control for what my skin looked like at 14 years old.”
“It was very normal being a teenager and having that, but these women are put on it for very minuscule issues like acne at 14. They're not told about any of the dangers, despite there being Swedish studies linking it to suicide and depression. Women are not told about the dangers of birth control, they are put on it at [13 and 14 years old], and they don't get off for decades.”
“Jack, many women do not get off. And I know when I got off and when many women get off, it's like a cloud is lifted from your head. Birth control, really, it hinders your ability to think if you were on a hormone for basically your entire life, especially through your developmental years. There's no way that it doesn't impact you.”
