"The powerful #Christian legal group Alliance Defending Freedom —whose #lawsuit to limit access to #mifepristone, a key #abortion drug, is before the Supreme Court— has also labeled #BirthControl methods as #abortifacients in various lawsuits...

The group, whose lawyers helped draft and defend the #Mississippi #law that led to the #SupremeCourt decision overturning #Roe, has a record of crafting legislation to overturn #legal precedent."

The #conservative #Christian #Idaho Family Pol Ctr is recommending states #ban #access to emergency #contraception & #IUD, which they mislabel as “#abortifacients” in a paper outlining next steps “now that we’ve successfully eliminated elective abortion.”

#Medical societies say it’s wrong to characterize emergency #contraceptive pills, a #BirthControl method used w/in days of unprotected sex, & IUDs, which are long-acting & reversible, as causing #abortions bc NEITHER END AN EXISTING PREGNANCY.

Conservative attacks on #BirthControl could threaten #access
 #FarRight #conservatives are sowing #disinformation that falsely characterizes IUDs, #emergency #contraception, even #BirthControlPills as “#abortifacients” — something used to cause #abortions. 
#Republicans in ≥17 states have blocked largely Democratic-led attempts to pass #laws assuring the right to birth control since 2022.
