According to The New York Post<\/a> and other sources<\/a>, young women are walking away from hormonal birth control<\/a> as research shows it can cause a variety of health issues. Between 2002 and 2017, oral contraceptive use dropped by 9%<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hormonal birth control has been linked<\/a> to an increased risk of depression and suicide, blood clots, heart attack, stroke, and certain cancers, as well as decreased bone density and infertility. The most common side effects — acne and weight gain — are also turning young women off to hormonal contraception.<\/p>\n

In a video<\/a>, one woman recently shared her personal story of why she chose to stop taking hormonal birth control. Turning Point USA contributor Isabel Brown shared the video with her own comments.<\/p>\n

“So I as a woman, went to get my birth control refilled today,” said the woman. “Just something I do sometimes. And guess what happened. She was like, ‘Hey are you having headaches?’ And I was like, ‘Funny you should mention it. I’ve been getting migraines. Never got ’em before, I had three. I had three in the past six months.’ She was like, “Interesting because that means that this birth control is giving you an elevated risk of stroke.’ And I was like, ‘Oh really?'”<\/p>\n
