LIKE I'VE BEEN SAYING - THEY'RE AFTER CONTRACEPTION AS WELL: THE MAGA WAR ON WOMEN

[B.See]

Anti-abortion activists take direct aim at contraception: report - MSN

In a report for "Reveal," broadcast by many National Public Radio (NPR) affiliates, host Al Letson and his colleagues devoted an entire hour to efforts by anti-abortion activists — including the group Students For Life — to outlaw contraception as well.

"For many in the anti-abortion movement," Letson reports, "overturning Roe v. Wade isn't enough. They want to restrict access even in states where abortion remains legal.…. But the attacks go beyond abortion. Groups like Students For Life have been targeting other forms of reproductive healthcare, including something millions of people rely on every day: hormonal birth control."

1. Republicans are the "barefoot and pregnant bunch."

[flying_wahini]

2. I love to ask my evangelical in laws when will they make divorce illegal?

They are almost all divorced.

4. More children to work in the meat packing plants.

5. EXACTLY

And more child brides. No free lunches though.

[Irish_Dem]

7. Kids don't need free school lunches if they are out working and not going to school.

You don't need an education to be a child bride or to operate dangerous equipment on the job.
Of course attending school in the US is a dangerous situation too.

6. Hmmmm

no mention of condoms? I had to scan fairly quickly but I saw no mention of condoms at all. Figures, doesn't it? I may have missed it but somehow I doubt that.

So only men can control births. I see.

9. They claim (ridiculously) that hormonal BC "causes abortions"

I don’t see how they can make that claim about condoms. Notice all the male R politicians that have paid for abortions (like TFG) and it’s never a problem? Because in R world, only the man gets to control reproduction.
Our side has to publicize this stuff endlessly in campaigns.

8. Sex education will be gone, contraceptives, and divorce will be limited

Child care payments and alimony probably also on the hit list. These are people that want a Christian Dystopia of their own sick twisted mind. They give not a crap for gays, women, or frankly children. They want obedience to whatever they demand. These aren't good people. It's not going to stop at abortion because it was never abortion they objected to. It was civil rights, women liberation, and the sexual revolution that they hate. Basically they hate people that aren't them.

10. Serious question: if the right wing went as far as they wanted where would they stop?

[LostOne4Ever]

11. When we become the Republic of Gilead (nt)

[Walleye]

12. I'm afraid you are correct on that

17. REMEMBER: FOR THEM, NO LOW TOO LOW

13. Seriously, that is not, and has not been, news to many of us since Roe.

"First they fight abortion.
Birth control is next.
Then goes sex if you're not married.
Finally out goes sex."

I remember n art exhibit many years ago in SF-- blown-up, decorated condoms. Picketed because, in using condoms, the artist was a murderer.

The only real difference now is that they are blatantly out in the open, instead of being fringe whackoes.

14. The right to privacy is now in danger

This is the asshole who drafted the Texas abortion law. This asshole wants to strike down the implied right of privacy by getting Roe overruled which would/could lead to striking down the right to same sex marriage. interracial marriage, gay sex and other rights

There is a pattern here. These assholes want to get rid of Griswold and undo the right of privacy. That would cause Lawrence v. Texas (consensual same sex intercourse), Cooling v. Virginia (inter-racial marriage), birth control and same sex marriage to be overturned.

Though Mitchell's brief, also signed by his co-counsel Adam Mortara, dedicates much of its time to the Texas abortion law's defense, it also questions "lawless" pieces of legislation, namely the Lawrence v. Texas ruling, which decriminalized gay sex nationwide, and the Obergefell v. Hodges ruling, which legalized same-sex marriage.

Though the brief does not say reversing Roe v. Wade would threaten the same-sex marriage ruling, it does say that

""the news is not as good for those who hope to preserve the court-invented rights to homosexual behavior and same-sex marriage …
"These 'rights,' like the right to abortion from Roe, are judicial concoctions, and there is no other source of law that can be invoked to salvage their existence."

It goes on to add that while the Supreme Court should not necessarily overturn Lawrence and Obergefell, it should consider these two rulings as "lawless" as Roe v. Wade and, by extension, Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

"This is not to say that the Court should announce the overruling of Lawrence and Obergefell if it decides to overrule Roe and Casey in this case."
"But neither should the Court hesitate to write an opinion that leaves those decisions hanging by a thread. Lawrence and Obergefell, while far less hazardous to human life, are as lawless as Roe."

16. THIS! They intend to get rid of Griswold, which identifies a constitutional

right of individuals to "privacy" and "to be left alone" by government in their private lives. It's huge.

15. Those same people only make the babby daddy pay a small portion of the childcare costs too, if that!

.

Payments are set to be small, and many times they are delinquent for months or years, sometimes not even paid.
