The Republicans who want to ban birth control

[Anonymous]

Banning abortion is deeply unpopular, yet…

Certain gun control policies have 90% public support, yet…

Popularity means diddly squat anymore

I don't know if people who post this sort of thing really don't understand what's going on or think it just won't happen or what. Like the person upthread who appears to have never heard of Griswold v. Connecticut and the right to privacy. Educate yourselves.

You've gotta understand that the Supreme Court, and especially this Supreme Court, is a political institution, the foundation of which was laid a generation ago. Due to their lifetime tenure and ivory tower status in the USA, they don't really ever have to feel the true effects of their rulings, which they cloak in ridiculous language in order to dress up the fact that they want to turn back the clock on jurisprudence in this country to 50 or 60 years ago. And they are succeeding.

There is a way to stop it, but it involves making the decision to not support Republicans until Republicans pledge to accept the will of the people. And holding Democrats feet to the fire until that will is done.

This is awfully condescending from someone who didn't understand my point. I worked in politics for several decades, I understand how the system works thanks. Republicans can try to pass whatever they want, but when nearly 100% of Americans utilize something they won't very very far. This will be the end of the party.

I don’t think PP was condescending and I wish I could agree that banning contraceptives would be the end of the GOP.

The majority of Americans also support abortion rights but that hasn’t stopped the GOP from passing bans on many states. They are even passing travel restrictions in some states. People thought restricting travel was far-fetched too, but here we are. There have been so many points along the way where whatever the GOP was doing seemed like a bridge too far and it was going to “be the end of the party.” From the silly things like inflating inauguration crowd size to the serious (Roe, January 6, and too many others to list), all were thought to be some sort of the end of the party. It wasn’t the end of the party.

GOP is gonna GOP unless they are voted out.

I’ll do you one further. The GOP is gonna GOP until they are kicked out. Out of America, out of this world. Those cockroaches sure are tenacious.

The thing is that if the GOP weren’t so successful in hacking people’s brains, people would be voting for the Democratic Party by like four to one. The GOP would be exposed as the shell it is if not for their treasonous relationship with Russia and also with the media doing the GOP’s bidding.

I’ve been waiting for the party to split in two and therefore become unelectable in our first-past-the-post system for almost a decade, meanwhile we’ll be stuck with their Levitican federal judges for the rest of my life.

This is the first post Roe presidential.

That wasn’t my point. Overturning Roe was the only thing that the two clear factions of the Republican Party still agreed on all this time. There are hardly any others that they have in common which is why the House right now is such a mess with normie bad Republicans who can’t agree with fascist horrendous Republicans. The party still hasn’t ended.

The GOP is pretty well in lockstep on most things. They can’t get anything passed because they’re not very good at their jobs.

I have been on of those people who assumed the GOP would splinter at some point and I do still think that. If the GOP keeps being reckless and says what they’re thinking, yeah. Birth control is insanely popular. And it only takes one pretty blond Republican Christian woman to die for want of an abortion to show that no, the GOP doesn’t care who you are, because women aren’t people in the GOP.

Exactly, and now the biggest right wing influencer of them all is on it.

I'm in my 50s and take a mini pill to manage menopause symptoms. If lawmakers come after birth control pills maybe there will suddenly be 20 year olds complaining of menopausal symptoms in order to get the Pill.

Unless . . .

. . . maybe the politicians would come after all female hormonal treatments-- HRT on the chopping block too?

Yikes.

HRT would be gone too.

I’d really like to see a blue state rep introduce a bill to permanently sterilize the Fascist population. God knows we need them to stop breeding if we are going to save this country from annihilation.

Hence my post. The mind control is insane, and like battered wives, people keep believing the GOP loves them and can be changed and they are worthy of the chance to beat them again.

I don’t have any faith in the democratic process, sorry. The GOP has rigged it and destroyed public education. Garbage in, garbage out.

This problem is going to get resolved the good old fashioned way- when enough people are so debased and starved they have nothing left to lose, and they do what people in that position tend to do when they have no hope. There’s already a huge contingent of white Boomer men who have everything and are willing to burn it all down because of GOP populist propaganda. Imagine if they were joined by mothers who have had to watch the many children they were forced to bear die, or young adults burdened with debt with no prospects. We’ll get our violent revolution in no time.

On the plus side, millions of really pissed off middle aged women with uncontrolled peri rage isn't going to be pretty. I know, I am.one of them. Good luck republicans.

People who say this can't happen here haven't been paying attention.
