A massive IUD named Freeda is coming to Philadelphia

She's purple. She's 20-feet tall. And her name is Freeda.

Why it matters: She's also a giant inflatable IUD on a nationwide tour to advocate for the protection of birth control access. Her next stop is Philadelphia.

Driving the news: Freeda will be posted up outside City Hall Friday between about 10am and noon.

• The birth control device has also made stops in Baltimore, Richmond (Virginia), Miami , and Washington, D.C.

Catch up quick: The massive IUD, an idea from Americans for Contraception , went viral after the organization debuted it at D.C.'s Union Station on June 5 — when the U.S. Senate was voting on the Right to Contraception Act .

• Nearly all Republicans blocked the bill.

Between the lines: When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade , Justice Clarence Thomas said in a concurring opinion the court should reconsider decisions protecting birth control access.

Zoom in: Access to contraceptives in Pennsylvania isn't protected by state law.

• Yes, but: A bill to protect and expand access to contraception passed in the Democrat-controlled state House last month.
• The proposal remains parked in a Senate committee.

What's next: Freeda's next stops are Raleigh and then Charlotte, North Carolina.
