Don’t let anyone shame you about your decision to use hormonal birth control! It’s safe, effective, and has so many health benefits. #ThxBirthControl

25 years ago, mifepristone was approved, changing reproductive health care for over 7.5 million people. Despite false claims, it's safe, essential, and saves lives. Attacks on it threaten our choices.

Birth control access is POPULAR. The majority of Americans, regardless of political affiliation, agree it should be accessible. Let’s remind policymakers of that! #ThxBirthControl

The diaphragm is a flexible dome blocking sperm from the cervix, needing spermicide, and is 83% effective with typical use. It's reusable, hormone-free, requires a prescription, and comes in various sizes—consult a provider for fitting.

“All the things that have kept women and queer folks alive and safe are being targeted and torn apart.”
We’re so grateful for voices like Madison, Appalshop Media Producer, who remind us why this work matters. We believe in coming together— for care, for access, for each other. 💙

Abstinence is choosing not to have sex, completely preventing pregnancy. It's the only 100% effective method when done consistently.
✅ No medical side effects or cost
❌ Needs communication and planning.
It's a valid choice for any reason, temporary or long-term.

Halloween is a spooky time. Thankfully your birth control doesn’t have to be!

Here's a look back on contraceptives that once included wool, weasel testicles, and animal guts.

These eerie tales are true and occur frequently in EKY. No local clinics. Stigma. Fear. The real terror? Limited access. But we’re tackling that with free, confidential, non-judgmental care. Need safer sex supplies or birth control? We’ll send it to you! allaccesseky.org/mailing-program

Spermicide is a chemical that kills sperm, found in gel, cream, foam, or film forms. It’s 72% effective alone but works better with condoms or a diaphragm.
✅ Over-the-counter access
❌ Use before sex. It may cause irritation and doesn’t protect against STIs.

"Upon learning of the layoffs, reproductive health advocates said they feared that the dismantling of the office would deprive women of critical services that allow them to decide whether and when they want to have children."

Withdrawal involves pulling out before ejaculation to avoid pregnancy. It's about 80% effective but hard to execute flawlessly.
✅ No prescription needed
❌ Not fully reliable; sperm may be present beforehand.
Works best with another method, like condoms or spermicide.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, honoring those we've lost. If you’ve experienced this, you’re not alone. Compassionate support is crucial, especially in rural areas. Together, let’s advocate for inclusive healthcare in all reproductive journeys.
