Unfortunately, an unexpected pregnancy is currently my biggest fear, and it's many of my friends’ biggest fears. We all just gained our independence. We’re not ready to give that up and sacrifice our last bit of youth, first taste of adulthood or career potential to devote our lives to raising another human being. 

If you’re contemplating an IUD at this moment in history — or, I suppose, any moment in history — I am telling you straight to your face to bite the bullet and get it.
