WELL SINCE TUMBLR REMOVED THE VERSION WITH HALE IN IT

here we have Natazia all by her lonesome plus her hale plush 😭

I went to Planned Parenthood for the first time ever. I wanted to see if they have Natazia in their formulary. I was asked what I needed these birth control pills for. Thinking that the answer is sort of implied, I assumed they were asking why I needed that particular formula. So I told them. I need it to prevent extremely painful and perpetual cramping (not just once a month). Other pills don't work. It is a fairly new birth control formula. As such, drug stores have to special-order it, and it's not yet available in generic form, which means it's pretty expensive.

I was turned down flat because they only provide birth control to prevent pregnancy. What the - what? Where am I? The Vatican? (Wait. No.)Should you care AT ALL why I am requesting BC pills?

Okay, I realize your mission is to prevent unwanted pregnancies. I get that, but what was all that garbage I've heard during the ongoing American "war on women" about y'all being the primary source of health care for most women? So Rush was right. Promiscuous? We got ya covered. Painful? Unhealthy? Don't waste our time. You should not be abusing birth control this way.

And yeah, this is anecdotal. I get that too. But I'm 0 for 1, here. I mean, I've made one visit to PP and been turned away once merely for wanting BC for reasons that will benefit my overall health (by making it possible for me to keep food down. I'm so selfish) I feel a little GOPism coming on...
