100%. If they think life starts at conception then the pill, IUDs, and plan B are out. Then we'll see the mental gymnastics over condoms.
- They’ll never ban condoms. This is all about controlling women, not sex.
  
  The religious right thinks premarital sex is a sin. And they are all about imposing their views on others.
  
  A common misconception is that conservative/religious men in the lower ecclons aren't similarly oppressed.
  
  The truth is that sweeping populations of men are controlled by the higher ups in those groups.
  
  It's the leaders controlling "the rabble", not all the men controlling all the women.
- Can you explain how the pill and IUD are out?
  
  The combined oral contraceptive pill suppresses ovulation, there's nothing to conceive with.
  
  Copper IUDs denature the head of the sperm, meaning they are no longer able to fertilise an egg.
  
  In both instances, there's either a no egg, or no viable sperm. It's no different to having sex while infertile (is that a crime too? Because if it is I'd like to see them try and stop me)
  
  I can see how the pill could end up on the chopping block, as it's secondary method of action is to prevent the uterine lining thickening enough to support implantation of a fertilised egg, but copper IUDs prevent contraception, so life never begins, and thus nothing is "murdered"
  
  Oh the answer is quite simple they will be "out" because they enable godless whores to have sex outside of marriage without consequences. And by consequences we mean forced conception and birth and with any luck the mutilation and/or death of the woman if anything goes wrong.
  
  As Jesus intended. Next question.
  
  Right, this is the logical way to look at it.
  
  Too bad these forced birth fanatics don't give a shit about logic.
  
  It's simply about control and punishment.
Excuse.me, but will.be next. Are you not all paying attention?

Don't think this just stops if by some chance Blue Team wins 2024. Oh no. This push will take a generation of Blue Team wins to defeat.

Vote like your life depends on it. It matters.
There. Right there. That's your campaign rally call.

"Contraception is next."

It sucks but fear will get everyone to the polls better than anything else. Please stop nursery rhymes and name calling bs.
- “would you force your daughter to deliver her rapist’s baby, or else go to prison for murder”
These headlines keep saying fears as if it wasn't said outright bye Alito and his friends. Threats. That's the word they're looking for. Threats that contraception could be next.
- threats against the citizens. a handful of people that can be counted on one hand are willing and eager to cause the suffering of millions. the answer seems obvious to me.
From the party that brought us the hit "don't take our guns", comes their next single, "we're coming for your condoms."
- Where in the constitution does it say:
  …the right of the people to keep and wear Condoms, shall not be infringed.
  
  Hmm?

If I (with consent) spray cum all over my wife, have I angered ~~god~~ the government with my seed? If so, who do I visit to obtain a permit for bukkake? Do each of us have to get a permit or can I put it under an llc? I don’t want to have to scoop it off and into her.
- Unfortunately our government is far behind on bukkake law.
  
  Oddly relevant username
- Not enough information provided. Please share video or photos with us so this community can give proper feedback.
- Now you got me thinking anal sex with a woman might be the only legal act.
  
  it's the loophole.

Ahh, so this is how they're going to fix the declining birth rate.
- God forbid we just let immigrants in, they’ll steal our jobs. We need to make more Americans (white people) to take those jobs
To be fair, I am humbled because while I know IVF has been banned in a misguided attempt to ban abortions, I am team stop breeding, so I have enjoyed that self inflicted gunshot wound on the right.

Makes me see how I'm opposite aligned on the topic, not just disagreeing with their point.
- To vote otherwise is to vote for forced breeding. Think about that.
  
  Oh, they already have that. It's why so many of the abortion bans don't have an exception for rape. Republicans cannot imagine passing on their genes any other way.
  
  I mean... I agree.
  
  A sperm isn't a human. An egg isn't a human. An embryo isn't a human.
  
  The laws are quite frankly assanine.
  
  Condoms, birth control, and safe abortions for all.
  
  I pause a bit at girls popping morning after pills like tic tacs. I don't think they are meant for that. I think the aforementioned would serve those ladies better, but I won't stand in their way.
  
  As a dude, I have a little but not a lot of say in all that.
  
  What I sure as shit know is that no man has the right to force a woman to incubate a child, and the way I word that highlights how I think the world is fucked, it's overpopulated, our education and social services are quite frankly shit, and we don't need children being brought into this dumpster fire.
  
  I hope for a day where that isn't such a horrible idea, but that day isn't today.
Do you know the reason behind separation of church and state? Freedom from religion.
