The Republicans who want to ban birth control

[Anonymous]

A few weeks ago on Jake Tapper, JD Vance said that Republicans aren’t trying to limit birth control access but Tapper called him out that they are. So not only is the GOP trying to make abortion illegal across the country with zero exceptions for anything, but they are also coming for your birth control.

So far - and please feel free to add to this list as more of them make plain their disdain for women’s rights and general sanity - the Republicans who want to make birth control illegal are:
Mike Johnson, LA
(This isn’t the speaker’s first rodeo at trying to ban birth control: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/mike-johnson-crusade-birth-control-1234865718/)

195 House Republicans - all but ten voted against the bill to make contraception legally accessible: “In July [of 2022], the Right to Contraception Act was introduced in Congress to defend access to contraception from the right-wing assault on our reproductive rights. The legislation, only a few pages long, would have codified the constitutional right to contraception, guaranteeing access to condoms, IUDs, the pill, patches, and more. Despite poll after poll showing 90% of the American people in favor of contraception, 195 Republicans in Congress voted against the bill, including Arizona’s own Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar, Debbie Lesko and David Schweikert.” https://www.azmirror.com/2022/10/31/the-republican-threat-to-contraception-is-real/

Donald Trump helped carve out exceptions for employers who don’t want to pay for birth control for their employees via insurance.

Missouri and Idaho Republicans

Clarence Thomas, who has openly signaled that he will happily axe any judicial protections.

So keep adding to the list as the GOP makes misogyny the cornerstone of their campaign.

I mean...go for it I guess, but they're going to start losing elections in red states if they start going down this path.

This is really glib. There is a whole generation of women's lives about to be ruined.

Texas is trying to sue Planned Parenthood out of existence in the state even though abortions are no longer performed there. 🤔

That can’t be right.
I’ve been told that women shouldn’t be allowed to abort, because they should have used birth control

This is a great example of the GOP’s strategy. If they get in office, birth control will be made illegal, and any “exceptions” will be farcical. OP.

It's their plan to create more "white" births by force.

Really? You should look at the numbers and percentages as to what groups are impacted the most.

Honest question, how can a political party outlaw a medicine? Why would they have any right to tell any person what medicines they have access to?

Did you just wake from a coma?
They are in process of outlawing a drug used for a medical abortion.

And all sorts of drugs get banned.

Because it’s never going to happen. This isn’t like reversing Roe. On what legal basis could they do this? And this would be ridiculously unpopular across the country.

They can try. Alcohol was outlawed at one point. Then all the business goes to the black market until the substance is again approved.

Overturning Roe is ridiculously unpopular across the country.
Remember when overturning roe was never gonna happen? I guess you don’t …
