IUDs had something of a bad name for decades because an early version, the Dalkon Shield, led to serious side effects, including infertility and even death. The decision comes as the Trump administration seeks to more fully dismantle the Affordable Care Act. Moreover, earlier this year the administration stopped Title X funding for clinics that refer women to abortion services, making it difficult for clinics to stay open and further threatening access to both birth control and reproductive health services, particularly for low-income and minority women. And the Title X rule was only one of many actions by the Trump administration that affected Americans’ contraceptive access. Though the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration had the right to issue the exemptions under the ACA, it referred the relevant cases back to lower courts to resolve any other issues.

Public transit schedules have also been cut back during the pandemic, making travel to an appointment more difficult. But in fact, many employees at Little Sisters of the Poor, the religious order that was the plaintiff in the Supreme Court case and that offers care to low-income older patients, are low-paid workers like medical assistants, cooks and custodians, she said. However, in August 2018 the administration announced shortened funding periods for Title X grants, from three years to just seven months.
