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 …

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 …

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

Replying to @HeerJeet
Oh God. Miscarriages. Murder is illegal, and yet we don't fret about someone being thrown in jail everytime someone dies in a car wreck. You leftists are so melodramatic.

If abortion is murder then every miscarriage is a potential crime scene and needs to be investigated as such. That's the logic of the anti-choice position (and the way it has worked out in countries with strict anti-abortion regimes).
