100%. If they think life starts at conception then the pill, IUDs, and plan B are out. Then we’ll see the mental gymnastics over condoms.

They’ll never ban condoms. This is all about controlling women, not sex.

The religious right thinks premarital sex is a sin. And they are all about imposing their views on others.

The religious right thinks YOUR premarital sex is a sin. They are totally fine with THEIR premarital/adulterous/rape sex.

A common misconception is that conservative/religious men in the lower ecclons aren’t similarly oppressed.

The truth is that sweeping populations of men are controlled by the higher ups in those groups.

It’s the leaders controlling “the rabble”, not all the men controlling all the women.

If a peasant feels superior to his wife, he’ll kick her when the master kicks him. Having women at the bottom of the pile makes it easier for the elite to maintain power.

Can you explain how the pill and IUD are out?

The combined oral contraceptive pill suppresses ovulation, there’s nothing to conceive with.

Copper IUDs denature the head of the sperm, meaning they are no longer able to fertilise an egg.

In both instances, there’s either a no egg, or no viable sperm. It’s no different to having sex while infertile (is that a crime too? Because if it is I’d like to see them try and stop me)

I can see how the pill could end up on the chopping block, as it’s secondary method of action is to prevent the uterine lining thickening enough to support implantation of a fertilised egg, but copper IUDs prevent contraception, so life never begins, and thus nothing is “murdered”

Oh the answer is quite simple they will be “out” because they enable godless whores to have sex outside of marriage without consequences. And by consequences we mean forced conception and birth and with any luck the mutilation and/or death of the woman if anything goes wrong.

As Jesus intended. Next question.

Ah thank you, I was using too much logic and failed to remember that misogynistic laws aren’t made from a position of reason.

Right, this is the logical way to look at it.

Too bad these forced birth fanatics don’t give a shit about logic.

It’s simply about control and punishment.

There. Right there. That’s your campaign rally call.

“Contraception is next.”

It sucks but fear will get everyone to the polls better than anything else. Please stop nursery rhymes and name calling bs.

These headlines keep saying fears as if it wasn’t said outright bye Alito and his friends. Threats. That’s the word they’re looking for. Threats that contraception could be next.

threats against the citizens. a handful of people that can be counted on one hand are willing and eager to cause the suffering of millions. the answer seems obvious to me.

From the party that brought us the hit “don’t take our guns”, comes their next single, “we’re coming for your condoms.”

Where in the constitution does it say:
…the right of the people to keep and wear Condoms, shall not be infringed.

Hmm?
