#ClarenceThomas’s concurring opinion begins on page 117. On page 119 Thomas specifically states “in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court's substantive due process #precedents, including #Griswold, Lawrence, & Obergefell.”

“Fetal personhood” activists struggle to maintain the fiction they are neutral on birth control

When asked about their intentions to restrict or protect access to birth control, Republican lawmakers and leaders of the anti-abortion movement will typically point out the fact that there’s no bill currently under consideration explicitly aimed at banning #contraception.

As journalist Jessica Valenti noted in her "Abortion, Every Day" newsletter, the president of Ohio Right to Life mocked a state Democrat who warned of the risk to birth control by saying,
“she can’t cite a piece of legislation that bans contraception … it’s fear-mongering.”

Susan B. Anthony #Pro-#Life #America’s website calls it a “MYTH” that Republicans want to stop people from getting birth control.

“FACT: No state anywhere has banned birth control,” it says.

And yet taking one big swing to restrict access has never been the strategy of the anti-contraception playbook.

Rather, activists either maintain neutrality on birth control or say nothing while actively working to conflate abortion with birth control and pass laws that redefine life as beginning at conception.

As journalist Christina Cauterucci pointed out at Slate, the anti-abortion group #Americans #United #for #Life claims on its website that it takes “no stance on the underlying issue of contraceptive use,”
but elsewhere it insists that people who use emergency contraception
“take the lives of their unborn children.”

When Mother Jones reporter Kiera Butler attended the annual conference of the anti-abortion group #Heartbeat #International in 2022, she found restriction of birth control to be a major theme, with several sessions dedicated to the topic.

The push to redefine the start of #personhood as the point of #conception holds real implications for fertility treatments and the wide range of available birth control methods.

Many lawmakers in states with such “fetal personhood” laws on the books have not fully grappled with the practical consequences of how enforcing those laws in the post-Roe era might work.

In the near future, most Republicans will likely continue to dismiss the idea that there’s any threat to birth control at all, and leaders of anti-abortion organizations will surely do their best to change the subject.

But ♦️pay attention to how fights over expanding access to birth control
— including nonhormonal methods like condoms
— play out.

♦️Pay attention to proposals to gut funding for #TitleX, a federal program that provides birth control to millions of low-income people in the United States.

♦️Pay attention to efforts in Congress to restrict access to contraception in foreign aid spending bills.

♦️And pay attention to how courts and lawmakers aim to expand the definition of abortion.

In rationalizing the idea that 😨birth control can somehow abort a pregnancy before a pregnancy begins😨, activists make a number of claims.

#Human #Life #International, a global Catholic group, maintains that anything that prevents implantation is an abortion-inducing agent.

#IUDs, they insist, cause “early abortions.”

#Students #for #Life of America likewise claims all forms of hormonal birth control, including IUDs and the Pill, are abortifacients.

Georgia Republican Rep. #Marjorie #Taylor #Greene went so far as to proclaim that #PlanB emergency contraception “kills a baby in the womb once a woman is already pregnant” even though studies have shown the drug interferes with ovulation but does not inhibit implantation.

Greene isn’t the only Republican lawmaker blurring the lines.

Colorado Rep. #Lauren #Boebert tried to block funds for “abortifacient contraceptive drugs,” while Montana Rep. #Matt #Rosendale tried adding emergency contraception to a bill barring use of the federal funding for abortion.

In 2022, in perhaps one of the most glaring examples, Missouri Republicans pushed unsuccessfully to restrict public funding for IUDs and emergency contraception, with one of the state senators who led it proclaiming that “life begins at conception,” and “anything that destroys that life is abortion, it’s not birth control.”

Just this past week in Iowa, House Republicans attempted to amend a bipartisan bill to legalize over-the-counter birth control by adding new language that would require pharmacists to provide misleading and inaccurate information implying contraceptives are dangerous and a form of abortion.

#Pulse #Life #Advocates, an Iowa group opposing the contraception bill, claims on its website that birth control “kills babies.”

Many of these objections will sound familiar to anyone who followed the fight around the Affordable Care Act 15 years ago.

The political groundwork was laid in 2010 when the #Tea #Party movement came into power and fought alongside the #Catholic #Church against requirements that employer health insurance plans cover birth control.

And in 2014, the retail chain #Hobby #Lobby won its case before the US Supreme Court in which it argued it shouldn’t have to provide employees with IUDs or emergency contraception since its ownership viewed such things as abortion.

Still working my way back down to floor 9, gradually, just hangin out a little, grabbing up good gear. Got a better bow.

Every time I come back to town to sell stuff, I feel Griswold eyeing my badass backup axe, the unique and indestructible Wicked Axe, (that I'm keeping to thrash those jerks up close that instantly surround you on floor 9).

Not gonna happen, man. 🤣

Props to Progressive Action Fund for making the (NSFW and steamy) best political ad I've ever seen, "Republicans in your bedroom".

After overturning Roe in the Dobbs decision, many Republicans want to restrict reproductive rights even further — including birth control! I'm not exaggerating. In his concurrence with the Dobbs decision, Clearance Thomas wrote:

In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold [which ruled that the Constitution provides the right to contraception], Lawrence [which ruled that the Constitution provides a right to privacy in most private, consensual adult sexual activity, including between those of the same sex], and Obergefell [which ruled that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples by both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution]. Because any substantive due process decision is “demonstrably erroneous,” we have a duty to “correct the error” established in those precedents.

Ohio Republicans spent a ton of doner and taxpayer money to set up a special election on August 8th, just for one issue, hoping it would pass with low turnout. If it passes, it will raise the threshold for passing ballot issues from 50% to 60%, allowing a 40% minority to veto future ballot issues, such as a ballot issue to amend the Ohio constitution to protect reproductive rights. It would also remove one of the few remaining checks on a heavily gerrymandered statehouse.

If you know anyone in Ohio, make sure they know about the special election for Issue 1 on August 8th, and urge them to vote No.

Early in-person and absentee voting has started.

Election Day is Tuesday, August 8. Polls will be open from 6:30am until 7:30pm.
