The GOP keeps saying overturning Roe is not about controlling women and if we want legal abortion, pass a law. Would you support a law giving every adult women legal access to contraceptives?
Its not a Republican v.Democrat thing, its the Constitution and Supreme Court saying no the the Government is overstepping its bounds here.
And those Supreme Court actions are undoing important facets of life that people have depended on for generations. There are consequences to these actions that need to be taken into account or planned for in advance.
Schools need to be the main source of sex education. Because the parents obviously are falling down on the job.
While I can't disagree that a good many generational parents have fallen down on the job of sex education, I also can't agree that the current generation of schools are best qualified with all the questioning of 'do you think you are a boy or girl?' nonsense with drag queen party time thrown in.
Too bad birth control for women was only an implied law and never written to establish permanence. If something as idiotic as removing access to birth control should happen, maybe the same should be done for viagra. After all, it took a while for insurance companies to finally relent and pay for birth control for women when they had no problem supporting viagra for men.
And as for the hypocrisy in this country, something else caught my attention. A little ditty posted online in response to the protests happening now. It read:
If you praise a woman who aborted her child because she did what was best for herself, then I hope you praise men for abandoning their children because they did what was best for themselves.
Even though I didn't like it, I couldn't disagree with it.
I do.
Demonstrating low character isn't best for the man, and also isn't best for anyone else.
Every adult woman already has access to legal access to the most effective birth control that exists - abstinence. But beyond that, every adult woman can legally purchase contraceptives.
A law seems needless.
If the SC decision that made access to birth control legal were to be overturned, any state that wants to could make it illegal in their state. Just like is happening now with abortion laws because Roe v Wade was just overturned.
Agreed, but why do we need a law to make something legal if that something isn't illegal?
Everything that isn't expressly illegal is legal - no law required.
Abortion was legal across the country until a few days ago. Now it's not. They could just as easily make contraception illegal if someone brings a case for that.
When the SCOTUS contraception decision came down only two states had laws against its access, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Are you worried those two will ban its use?
How many states at that time restricted access to birth control only to married women?
The History Channel recently had a show about the times when condoms were illegal. You might look it up. It was interesting.
