Really? You should look at the numbers and percentages as to what groups are impacted the most.
+1 If their fear is a white minority, they should crunch the numbers. Those people will be putting a PP on every corner after they do.
Their hope is to bring back slavery. They need an easily othered group of people who can be locked into lifelong servitude, and they’d like that group to be large.
They want to de-power women by taking away their control over their own bodies. They want them breeding, not taking over C-level positions.
Oh and they also want to make sure women never enjoy sex, that they can never have peace of mind again.
I can’t even bring myself to type the next logical step in that sequence, but it isn’t pretty.
It's scary how Republicans use The Handmaid's Tale as inspiration.

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.

And here we are: “Physicians say they’re seeing an explosion of birth-control misinformation online targeting a vulnerable demographic: people in their teens and early 20s who are more likely to believe what they see on their phones because of algorithms that feed them a stream of videos reinforcing messages often divorced from scientific evidence.”

I’m actually living this right now. My child just recently turned 18. Since she started her period, she has suffered with reproductive system problems. At 15, to alleviate severe cramping, we tried an IUD. It didn’t work for her and we moved onto some other device (I think it was the updated version of the ring). That also didn’t work for her. Over a year and at least 3 ovarian cysts later, we are getting her an implant in her arm. She stupidly watched some bs propaganda on TikTok and is now attempting to back out of this. She HAS to have something due to impact on her overall health and she is terrible at taking oral medication. I explained to her that she shouldn’t get medical advice from people on TikTok. Hormonal birth control is the only treatment for her problems. Thanks to misinformation, she now thinks she’s going to wind up poisoned or something.

You are forcing your almost 30 year old daughter to take medication against her will?

The whole point of this thread is that this is unthinkable ridiculousness that is having a serious moment among the extreme right. Put your head in the sand all you want, though.
+1 - they did the same sh—- with Roe…
Fool us once.
