Nearly won a Senate race, then won a House race. I might be thinking of someone else in Colorado though.

Pro-lifers like Bobby Jindal and I think Ken Buck ran on making birth control available over the counter.

I think a better strategy would be the environmental impact of birth control ending up in groundwater, the effect on fish.

Oh, darn. Your link to a far-left site is broken. What shall we do?

LEFT BIAS
These media sources are moderate to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy.

I don’t need any left wing source to give me info on this issue. I was a gullible fool who truly believed Roe was “settled law” and that abortion rights were not a reason to vote against the republicans. Well here we are. I don’t need a left wing source to convince me of that all women’s rights and women’s health could be a casualty under right wing leaders. Just my own lived experience.

They'll tell you it's not, just like they told you Roe was "settled law" before they overturned it.

Just like they told you that now that Roe has been overturned it's "up to the states" before they started trying to introduce nationwide abortion bans.

Just like they told you "but there will always be exceptions for rape and incest" before they started sending women to jail for it.

Just like they told you "we would never force a 12 year old to term" before they did it.

Make no mistake, the GOP's ultimate goal is to become the American Taliban. They've been proving it with their actions for decades. Anyone who says they aren't is either too stupid to see what's right in front of their face, or in on it and trying to keep up the charade.

All of these should be o;pn signs at the next March. Before they ban us from marching…

HRT is good for women no way we banning that.

I think it would. Most transgender kids are female to male. Testosterone is used to grow secondary sex characteristics like facial hair and a deeper voice.

I don't think conservatives are nearly as panicked about female-to-male. Their deep fear is that they'll get aroused by someone who has or used to have a penis.

Yes. Basically any woman who takes any hormones to improve her health or treat a condition.

It's amazing how deep in denial Republican women are at this point, but I guess they have perfect lives and no health conditions.

And they wonder why so many women want to transition to men! Look around at the hellscape you are creating for women, conservatives.

And what about girls and women who take hormones to control painful menstrual conditions? They will just be seen as collateral damage once the Republicans come for hormonal birth control.

The GOP is fully against the idea of the separation of Church and State.

I'm pretty sure most everyday Americans don't want an "American Taliban."

"Half of Americans say Bible should influence U.S. laws, including 28% who favor it over the will of the people"

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/04/13/half-of-americans-say-bible-should-influence-u-s-laws-including-28-who-favor-it-over-the-will-of-the-people/

Among U.S. Christians, two-thirds (68%) want the Bible to influence U.S. laws at least some, and among white evangelical Protestants, this figure rises to about nine-in-ten (89%).

Literal Christian Sharia Law, favored by 9 out of 10 white evangelicals - otherwise known as Republicans.


"On Nov. 4, Joel Webbon of Right Response Ministries quote-tweeted a post by Brad Wilcox which included a screenshot of an MSNBC newscast discussing voter demographic information broken down by gender and college education. The data came from a 2018 Pew Research Center Survey and noted that the votes of women who have attained college education or higher are trending positively for Democrats. This means more college-educated women are voting for Democrats and fewer are voting for Republicans.

In his quote-tweet, Webbon noted that “the 19th Amendment was a bad idea” because women are “easily deceived” and are attending “institutions for deception.”

Ending women's suffrage, just like the Taliban did.


"In many evangelical congregations, women are forbidden from holding leadership roles such as senior pastor. The ideology of complementarianism asserts that while women and men are equal in creation, they are distinct in function. Men are to serve as leaders of church and home; women are to support and submit to them. This way of thinking, which advocates “biblical womanhood,” is based on one interpretation of passages from the New Testament. Because of its prevalence, more women almost certainly can be found on nursery duty than behind pulpits each week in American evangelical churches.

Forbidding women from holding jobs, forcing them to be submissive to men. Straight out of the Taliban playbook.

Keep plugging your ears and sticking your head in the sand. If the right gets its way, the Handmaid's Tale is going to stop being fiction.

To answer your question, OP, yes, I think they would ultimately go after HRT, too. They hate women. They enjoy being cruel. They have never respected women’s healthcare, so why not target HRT someday, too? That would come after they make birth control illegal (or only available at a man’s request).

Think the handmaid’s tale. Saving your pat of butter for moisturizer if you’re fertile and that’ll be it. HRT only on the black market if you work at jezebel’s.
