In an effort to not only test birth control but also control the growth of the Puerto Rican population in the name of eugenics and colonialism – low-income Puerto Ricans were selected as the test subjects. 2/6 https://t.co/3Yn8wzsQco — PolitiTweet.org

🧵 Important Thread: Today as we give thanks for birth control and acknowledge the importance of having access to contraception, let us also remember and recognize the Puerto Rican women who were test subjects for its inception. #THXBirthcontrol 1/6 https://t.co/I3tccQ9Ju9 — PolitiTweet.org

The women were told they were taking a pill that prevented pregnancy but were never told it was a clinical trial or about the many risks they’d face. Three women died during the test period, and their deaths were never investigated. 3/6 https://t.co/sZoxAhRKyX — PolitiTweet.org
