Hillary Clinton is warning about the legality of birth control in the wake of a decision by the Alabama Supreme Court that found frozen embryos created through fertility treatments are children under state law.

“They came for abortion first. Now it’s [in vitro fertilization], and next it’ll be birth control,” the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and secretary of State said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“The extreme right won’t stop trying to exert government control over our most sacred personal decisions until we codify reproductive freedom as a human right,” Clinton added.

    And after birth control women are going to be fined for having their periods, because each period is supposed to be a god blessed baby for Christ’s sake. THINK OF THE CHILDREN YOU HEATHENS!

      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.
