[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They can try to ban contraceptives but I just don't think it can happen.  Unless the Supreme Court rules in favor of this and I cannot imagine they have grounds for this.

In the meantime, they can use it as a political rally cry - have not idea why they feel the need - but whatever.  Maybe it appeals to MAGA I suppose but I actually don't think any real child bearing people regardless of political denomination would go for this.  I know that the traditional right wingers Catholic fanatics would but I don't know that it's the top of their priority list.  In any case, whatever they shout about on this topic, I think it is just noise.

It's mortifying for sure but as I said, there are a ton of folks now who believe that women's lives should be only about bearing children.  I'm not sure that it's a new concept.  There will ALWAYS be crazies like this.  There are crazies everywhere these days, we just hear about them more now than ever :)

Personally, I'm not really that concerned this will ever get off the ground.  Roe v Wade is something that's been on the table for many many years - it was always something that was in danger of being reversed depending on the Supreme Court make-up.  It was always a potential threat that could happen but banning contraceptives has no precedent.[/quote]

Whoa, what? This poster is completely wrong. Banning contraceptives absolutely has a precedent. See the Comstock Act, as another poster mentioned.

As far as scotus, Griswold v Connecticut is the scotus case that recognized that married couples can use contraception without government interference.  Griswold recognizes a right to privacy and Roe was based on Griswold. In his Dobbs concurrence, Justice Thomas said Griswold should be reconsidered.

Please pay attention or you and all of us will lose more rights. The right to contraception is on the table in the November election. Vote accordingly.
