The same folks bemoaning birth control have endorsed state sterilization and euthanasia policies in the very recent past.

So much of this shit is just White Replacement hysterics with a legislative knife. The fixation on skin tone as a defining moral indicator has been the poison pill gagging this country since it was founded.

It only makes sense that the club that's been pushing abstinence only sex ed for however many years would move to ban birth control. After all, birth control is for sinners.

There is also a contingent among conservatives who have been taught that birth control is tantamount to abortion. They think that since if an egg WERE to become fertilized it might not implant because of the birth control, that’s an abortion. (Even though as I understand it this secondary mechanism isn’t proven in hormonal BC.)

(As I got older and experienced the world I became far less conservative. My sister became more conservative. So I get to learn some of the crazy firsthand.)

It's not the extreme right, this is mainstream for conservatives.

You're both right and wrong: the Republican mainstream has become extreme. Fascism, anarcho-capitalism and bizarre combinations of the two contradictory ideologies are extreme no matter how common they become.

The extreme right is the one calling for eg. the extermination of gender / sexual minorities

That's already a pretty mainstream view/goal in the GOP. Most of them are just using coded language rather than outright saying it yet.

Teaching them a lesson for leaving the kitchen. Seriously though, woman (and men) fought hard for their rights to their body. Now, they have less freedom. If they aren't careful they could lose much more of it like in Afghanistan.

The more this develops the more I think it's actually "replacement theory" bullshit. Religion is the only "acceptable" avenue to push this from as they know the majority of the population has no patience whatsoever for any disgusting discussion about "too many dark skinned people." so they stick to "what God intended."

I think they believe that white people get abortions and use contraception more than minorities so if they outlaw that then white people can't become the minority population as they're forced to carry to birth every fertilized egg.

Lol nah they're using the tried and true strategy of...checks notes using actual fascists to bully people into voting for slightly less fascist candidates. Bold strategy, Cotton, let's see if it pays off twice.

She didn't need to mention anything about a primary because the push to criminalize abortion is coming at the state and local levels. Vote for progressive local representation and that will do lot more than Biden ever could

They treat it the same as Republicans did, a talking point to rally around. That is, until the Republicans actually did something and stacked the Supreme Court. They could have codified roe when Obama was president, but I don't think they even tried or considered the possibility that roe would be overturned.

Now that roe has been killed, women have shifted significantly blue. Why the hell would they actually fix the issue when they can campaign on it for the next decade at least?

That's why John Oliver's offer to that aforementioned coke-cantard makes a lot of sense.

I mean they are literally passing laws which require attaching your real name to your porn habits. So yeah, I'd say it is 100% the goal to leak this stuff and eventually, openly persecute people for it.

Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson:

It scans all the activity on your phone, or your devices, your laptop, what have you; we do all of it,” Johnson told the panel about the app

It sends a report to your accountability partner. My accountability partner right now is Jack, my son. He’s 17. So he and I get a report about all the things that are on our phones, all of our devices, once a week. If anything objectionable comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice. I’m proud to tell ya, my son has got a clean slate.”

These people won't stop till its literally illegal to be naked by yourself without some homely chapped-ass chaperone

May the Lord open

Probably prison (or the death penalty ) for women who miscarry, I remember reading some states Alabama tried passing legislation so when a women has a miscarriage the authorities investigate her for murder.
