Mississippi Governor said life begins at conception.
Media points out that some forms of contraception (IUD and morning after) happen AFTER contraception and if he would then ban those.
Mississippi governor responded that is not his current focus at the moment.
Media then responds that he won't rule out banning contraception.
Leftist poster then says Mississippi governor might next consider disenfranchising women.
Technically speaking, isn't the media misusing the actual definition here?
"the deliberate use of artificial methods or other techniques to prevent pregnancy as a consequence of sexual intercourse. The major forms of artificial contraception are barrier methods, of which the most common is the condom; the contraceptive pill, which contains synthetic sex hormones that prevent ovulation in the female; intrauterine devices, such as the coil, which prevent the fertilized ovum from implanting in the uterus; and male or female sterilization."
Contraception prevents pregnancy, so the morning after pill is not contraceptive. It terminates the pregnancy, just very early.
What's next in these states removing woman's rights to vote, and property ownership?
What's further next? Republicans might as well declare war on sex by banning indulging in fornication. Make it a felony subject to at least a 10 year prison sentence. The Bible is on their side.
This would cost the GOP dearly. They were on track for a red wave in November. But if they keep this crap up, we're back to fighting every step of the way.
That’s the Slippery Slope Fallacy. It’s fascinating to hear it coming from the political Left now.
As long as people keep sliding helplessly down the slippery slopes, it has cautionary power.
