Birth control is totally different. I don’t know anyone that is opposed to birth control. Every woman I know has been on it. All the Republican woman I know are on it. The Republican guys wives and girlfriends are all on it. I just don’t think there is a realistic chance of them rolling it back, and saying that’s why people should vote blue is not going to win any votes.
I do think the fact that Trump apparently didn’t know what contraception means is a significant point. Charlie Dent was on CNN and this was his take — Trump just doesn’t understand the word and the different between both control and medical abortion. Which is scary and sad.

You think the words of Republicans about how they plan to go after birth control makes Democrats sound not credible? Why don’t you read the thread first and then comment?

Most Republican voters use birth control and support it. Most Republican voters oppose abortion and have been fighting to ban it for decades.

Overturning of Roe was not surprising to anyone who was paying attention.

This is just a scare tactic by the Dems. There of course are fringe extremists who want to ban birth control but most Republicans do not. Just like there are some Democrats who really want to abolish ICE and the police but most do not.

Doesn’t mean anything. The “mainstream” media can and will propagandize anything in service to the GOP getting back in power. Watch for it.

I really haven’t seen much of anything in the media. They’re just ignoring it all. Better to breathlessly cover what a bunch of kids are doing.

Birth control is what, more than any one thing, made it possible for women to choose their life’s course. Its value to the lives of just about every adult in America cannot be overstated.

And they’re keeping quiet.

They can choose to never cover it at all and it will be still be a huge and motivating election issue. Millions of voters understand exactly how critical this is and are going to the polls and dragging every voting family member and voter they can rustle up along with them to shut this GOP nonsense down.

In a country where, according to the polls, a majority think we’re in a recession and that’s Biden’s fault and a good chunk think the fall of Roe is Biden’s fault, and a country in which millions keep thinking that the GOP isn’t that bad and won’t do some terrible thing (get Roe overturned, re-nominate a man charged with umpteen serious charges), I’m not secure in that.

I think the media is covering everything in a such a way as to pave the way for a GOP win. Now they have been doing this, more or less, for years and to a reduced effect (see the predicted “red wave” that got carried back out to sea, never to be seen again) but I’m a little anxious that we’ll be yellow journalism-ed into fascism.

+1

Media has an agenda.

Millions of people are ignorant AF.

The billionaire and corporate owners of the major media outlets indeed have a vested interest in getting the GOP back in to power.

Sorry. Stop with the gaslighting. Blackburn recently reiterated her belief that griswold is “constitutionally unsound”. Kellyanne Conway also continues to protest too much.

This. The idea that we have this liberal mainstream media is a fallacy and has been for some time. No matter what might be going right, they will cover Biden in a negative light. The media is owned by people who believe they can benefit from Trump and don't care what a nightmare Trump will really be for this country.

They will care when they get blacklisted for reporting incorrectly. But it’ll be too late then

I mean, they are literally talking about it. Trump was just talking about it - incoherently, of course, with a slippery position. But Rs are talking about doing this.

Did you think they were going to stop with abortion? Ha ha ha ha ha.

Nope, this is central to the GOP.

Maybe the party has left you without you realizing it?

Some people’s unquestioned, knee jerk support of the GOP is really going to bite them.

If "most Republican voters use birth control and support it," why have recent efforts by state legislatures throughout the US to codify the right of access to contraception been unsuccessful?

"According to the Guttmacher Institute, an abortion-rights research group, lawmakers in 27 states during this legislative session introduced more than 59 bills and proposed constitutional amendments that would codify the right to access contraception. Only the Democratic-controlled Virginia Legislature was able to pass legislation that would have codified the right to contraception in the state constitution." (Youngkin vetoed the bill).

In addition, the GOP is defining the morning after pill as an abortificant even though women take it to prevent pregnancy rather than to terminate a pregnancy, so that is an example of limiting access to contraception.
