[quote=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. [/quote]
