[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]

Griswold vs. CT was decided in 1962, 10 years before Roe. In the decision overturning Roe, multiple conservative justices indicated willingness to look at other decisions based on the now non-existent "right to privacy."

You are right of course that it would NOT be politically popular. And it's questionable if Roberts or Cavanaugh would want to go that far. But there are likely four votes in favor of overturning Griswold, minimum.

No new law as needed, as mentioned previously, as it's just a matter of enforcing Comstock. [/quote]
