        Birth control was illegal in states like Connecticut as recently as 1965. That's not that long ago. My parent's were around then, probably your parents too.

        Of course some people believe it. But even the law just passed in Oklahoma, where they're quite explicit about wanting to outdo all the other states on anti-abortion legislation, explicitly exempts IUDs and emergency contraception.

        Not sure which liberals are saying that, because most of us have been literally shouting that they’re coming for all of it.

        The impulse of political parties to align with and promote religious extremism never ends well. No matter the era, no matter the religion. No matter how many times history teaches this lesson, we circle back to this mistake.

        It's impossible to reason, much less reach consensus, with those who are convinced they alone hold absolute Truth and Divine Right.

        If it's about raising white birth rate, they will definitely go after birth control

        That’s the goal: raise the white birth rate asap, while whites are still the majority (projected only for another 20 years or so.)
