Conservative attacks on #BirthControl could threaten #access
#FarRight #conservatives are sowing #disinformation that falsely characterizes IUDs, #emergency #contraception, even #BirthControlPills as “#abortifacients” — something used to cause #abortions.
#Republicans in ≥17 states have blocked largely Democratic-led attempts to pass #laws assuring the right to birth control since 2022.

“Folks are trying to redefine when life begins, but it’s just not scientifically supported,” said Courtney Joslin, who leads #PublicPolicy research on issues pertaining to #women & #families for the R Street Institute, a center-right think tank. “There’s just been a crowding-out effect where some #FarRight legislators have undermined #Republicans’ ability to talk about #BirthControl in a sensible & rational way.”

Of course the Trump tax cuts were a giveaway to the rich. Republicans were told to pass it or abandon all hope of receiving further campaign donations. And naturally, they passed a bad law that made the rich richer and everyone else poorer. It did not provide any of the benefits Trump promised it would to the rest of the nation.

But he'll try to pass another one just like it if he's returned to power.
