      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 …

      I think the people catastrophizing about contraception or interracial marriage being next after Roe sincerely believe it. But I'm sorry, I cannot take this seriously.

      2. It's very important to look at what the anti-choice movement says and thinks. This is crucial: "The anti-abortion groups define the pill and IUDs as abortifacients"https://twitter.com/archpundit/status/1522052802163646467 …

      Replying to @speechboy71 @HeerJeet
      The anti-abortion groups define the pill and IUDs as abortifacients and if you look at the proposed Louisiana personhood bill it is defined for a person at fertilization which would include the pill and IUDs occasionally interfering with implantation

      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 …

          BREAKING: Louisiana Republicans have voted HB 813 out of committee (7-2), defining a fertilized egg as a human. HB 813 makes abortion at any point a homicide, with no exception for minors, rape, incest, or ectopic pregnancies. This is beyond horrific. https://legiscan.com/LA/text/HB813/id/2549012 …

          what's this mean for in-vitro and fertility treatments? aren't there many fertilized eggs in that process and only some implant successfully?

          Presumably IVF would be illegal, or at least done under such significant legal risk that no one would do it.

          Miscarriages in particular worry me. It seems there’s a not too distant future where someone rats out a miscarriage and a woman is prosecuted for neglect or some other BS. And since they are so common…

          Sorry, I don't believe this is about religion. It's about white male supremacy. They're terrified of the encroachment on their supremacy by women and minorities.
