“In her rants, Clark only briefly mentions that some people use contraception to prevent needing medical treatment for non-contraceptive purposes, including acne, endometriosis, and reducing menstrual pain. Her rampant misinformation against the pill echoes Turning Point’s anti-abortion stance and encouragement of women to get married and have children at a young age.”

And here we are: “Physicians say they’re seeing an explosion of birth-control misinformation online targeting a vulnerable demographic: people in their teens and early 20s who are more likely to believe what they see on their phones because of algorithms that feed them a stream of videos reinforcing messages often divorced from scientific evidence.”

I’m actually living this right now. My child just recently turned 18. Since she started her period, she has suffered with reproductive system problems. At 15, to alleviate severe cramping, we tried an IUD. It didn’t work for her and we moved onto some other device (I think it was the updated version of the ring). That also didn’t work for her. Over a year and at least 3 ovarian cysts later, we are getting her an implant in her arm. She stupidly watched some bs propaganda on TikTok and is now attempting to back out of this. She HAS to have something due to impact on her overall health and she is terrible at taking oral medication. I explained to her that she shouldn’t get medical advice from people on TikTok. Hormonal birth control is the only treatment for her problems. Thanks to misinformation, she now thinks she’s going to wind up poisoned or something.

Please send your tots and pears towards NoVA tomorrow I might be restraining my 28 year old with a team of doctors

You are forcing your almost 30 year old daughter to take medication against her will?

The whole point of this thread is that this is unthinkable ridiculousness that is having a serious moment among the extreme right. Put your head in the sand all you want, though.

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

+1 If their fear is a white minority, they should crunch the numbers. Those people will be putting a PP on every corner after they do.

Their hope is to bring back slavery. They need an easily othered group of people who can be locked into lifelong servitude, and they’d like that group to be large.

She’s 18 (the second number was incorrect). And she came around on the implant, thankfully.

They want to de-power women by taking away their control over their own bodies. They want them breeding, not taking over C-level positions.

Oh and they also want to make sure women never enjoy sex, that they can never have peace of mind again.

I can’t even bring myself to type the next logical step in that sequence, but it isn’t pretty.

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.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/j-d-vance-said-republicans-171116995.html

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

The GOP's "Lebensborn" program to create more evangelicals who will vote to go back to the 18th century for women's rights in society and to stay in their place! Women, like children, should be seen and not heard!

It's scary how Republicans use The Handmaid's Tale as inspiration.

Every thing that Atwood put in the Handmaid’s Tale already happened; she didn’t make anything up. The knitting them all together to create a cohesive fictional society is the author’s invention, but the misogynists who lived and existed were the inspiration for The Handmaid’s Tale. Though I agree with your larger point.
