1. Respectfully, this is wrong: if you genuinely believe that all abortion is murder (as a critical part of GOP coalition does) then you will want to ban Plan B & other birth control. The path to that requires overturning Griswold. This won't end with overturning Roehttps://twitter.com/asymmetricinfo/status/1522020084847460354 …

3. Opposition to contraception used to be overwhelming a Catholic thing (Monty Python's Meaning of Life has a ribald skit on that point). That's changed over last few decades as anti-choice Protestants have started to accept logic of Humanae Vitae.

4. I have quite a few evangelical friends and I really started noticing in 1990s that the more intellectual among them were drawn to Catholic arguments against birth control. This is a process decades in the making. Secular liberals & libertarians haven't noticed.

5. I don't think it's sufficiently understood how radical doctrine of fetal personhood is and all the implications it'll have if it gets enshrined (which is next step): not just for abortion but for birth control, for federalism, for miscarriages, for the autonomy of most women

6. Since people have queried this, I want to clarify that it's not that I think Plan B, IUDs, etc are abortifacients, but rather that the anti-choice people do, which means but their logical they will have to go after Griswold & right to birth control.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1522053264593858561 …

If (or rather when) some state in the 5th Circuit bans contraception, I don’t see how it gets struck down under this ruling’s logic. Is it in the text of the constitution? Is it firmly embedded in our nation’s history or traditions? How do you get around that?

If anyone believes there is not a whole raft of conservative causes that will piggyback on Alito they are kidding themselves. And dangerously so.

I was just thinking this morning about the descriptor "anti-choice." It's much more accurate than "pro-life."

I’ve always heard “the pill” used to refer to birth control, not Plan B. Many religious folks see a distinction between those two.

Plan B is a high dose of levonorgestrel, while "the pill" is generally a mix of a lower dosage of levonorgestrel and estrogen. hormonal IUDs also use levonorgestrel. the Yuzpe regimen is an emergency contraceptive method that involves taking several "normal" oral contraceptives.
