Outlast...*

Online searches for long-acting birth control devices spiked significantly in the hours after the presidential election ended.   Many women took to social media to advise other women to get an intrauterine device (IUD) which can "outlast" a conservative presidency.

The posts began over concerns that Trump and the Republican-held houses of Congress will repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Under the ACA, insurers participating in the healthcare marketplace aremandated to provide coverage for contraception without any co-payment or coinsurance, allowing many more women access to birth control.

The IUD is a small implant that, when placed in the uterus, acts as a continuous form of contraception.  Depending on the type of device an IUD can provide approximately three to 10 years of greatly reduced pregnancy risk, potentially outlasting even a two-term Trump presidency.
