#FreeBritneysUterus (And All Of Our Uteruses)

Spears may not technically be sterilized by her conservatorship. But to deny a woman’s ability to remove an IUD is essentially the same thing.

Excerpt- “Unless you have been living in a cave, you’ve probably seen the latest news about Britney Spears. Scratch that. Even if you were living in a cave, you’ve probably had a visitor tell you the news of Britney Spears’s impassioned plea to a judge regarding her years-long conservatorship. At the most recent hearing, Britney herself spoke, describing some of the alleged abuses that she has suffered at the hands of her conservators. Those alleged abuses included a shocking description that she has been denied the ability to marry or to have an IUD removed in order to have more children. Can this be true? Is this still America?”
