Many of us have been sounding the alarm on this for years.

Welp.

In an interview with KDKA-TV, says he's "looking at" policies that would restrict access to

@GottaLaff I begin to wonder if Hump's version of restricting women's control of reproduction and Musk's lament about birth rates [and any other fascist hopes of that sort] aren't all the same capitalist lunge at insuring an abundance of miserable workers.

@ottomate I’m sure it’s part of it

Every positive change in society since the divine right of kings is a front in the culture war. It's just that some of them (as yet) remain far from the frontlines.

@GottaLaff I wish his mother had full access to contraceptives. Hell, mandatory even.

@GottaLaff Trump's gonna come out with some "moderate" position that his supporters know isn't real, but the press will credulously repeat.

"Trump bucks hard liners in his party on abortion and contraception" is such an easy play for Trump that I can't imagine he'll resist it.

@GottaLaff Without access to contraception and reproductive care, the religious right believes that our nation’s youth will simply opt to avoid premarital sex altogether. No more unwanted children, no more STDs, no more promiscuity. Everyone will just immediately settle down after puberty.

That’s their justification. Sounds legit 🙄

@GottaLaff My impression from that video was that he didn't know what "contraceptives" means.

@GottaLaff To be fair, he has no idea what he's talking about, and will answer that "he's looking at" almost anything. "Would you have a policy mandating owning of monkeys?" Trump: "I'm looking into that."

@GottaLaff when RBG died I left a street-corner campaign event to look after people in my family who knew what was coming.

The people campaigning there with me literally laughed at me when I said she'd be replaced by an insane person before the election and Roe would be gone soon after.

I don't have any joy in being right and I don't know how to make this 'real' for the people surprised now.

@GottaLaff It kills me that there are people who truly think he's "looking at" any policy position. Like, talking to experts, reading opinions, thinking. He's not capable of any of that.

Will he propose such a restriction sometime when some bootlicker tells him it's a good idea? Sure! Would he disclaim his support a week later and tell everyone he never supported that? Of course!

He's not "looking at" anything. He has zero intellectual capacity. He's pure random chaos and spite.

Yet the MAGA rallying cry is “FREEDOM!”

Somehow, someway, someone MUST get critical facts out to EVERYONE…
I’m certain lefties like us are all suitably alarmed, but what about the dumb clucks who will vote for Fucko by the MILLIONS?

The GOP are way ahead on this. They may catch the other car pressing for it.

@GottaLaff Broader view:

Restricting women's rights is the fascist method of controlling all people.

Notes:

There has been a declining "white" birth rate, from the availability of family planning.

The fascists fear a "minority" majority.

Without proper healthcare, they hope (paradoxically) to increase the numbers of "white" babies, leaving others to die.

"Anti-abortion" started in the 1970s as a cover for the continued fight against desegregation, and civil rights for all.
