MASSDEVICE ON CALL — The anti-Essure movement, launched by women who claim the permanent contraceptive implant left them with severe pain and injuries, doesn’t look likely to die down, having spawned Facebook support pages, Twitter campaigns and lots of media attention.
The movement has attached itself to the Twitter hashtag ‘#EssureRally’, through which women are calling on Bayer to recall the device, posting pictures of the ralliers in action and organizing real-world events, including street-corner picketing and conference calls with famed consumer advocate Erin Brockovich.
