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.
It only makes sense that the club that's been pushing abstinence only sex ed for however many years would move to ban birth control. After all, birth control is for sinners.

It's not the extreme right, this is mainstream for conservatives. The extreme right is the one calling for eg. the extermination of gender / sexual minorities or non-whites (and the extremists aren't nearly as rare as people generally like to think)
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!
I was on the BC pill for years before I was ever sexually active - my periods were so heavy that I became severely anemic and sick.
Literally the pill and some prescription iron tablets for a time were all I needed, none of the other shit I was given for months before 1 woman doctor thought to prick my finger and see if the drop of blood sunk in the solution or not.
It pretty much stayed towards the top.
I had to drop 2 classes that semester as a result. I was so pissed.
“That’s why I’m pushing for an actual democratic primary and supporting progressive populist candidates and their broadly approved policies such as minimum wage increases and universal health care,” Ms Clinton did not add to her remarks.
At least she wasn't completely useless for this and actually said the word abortion. I haven't heard much from democrats suggesting or pushing any policy or solutions to this crisis. They seem to just leave the field open to let the republicans dominate the discussion.
No kidding. IIRC, Trollito and Coke-can Clarence both signaled they hate that right as well as a few others...so tired of these creepy weirdos having so much undue influence over this country. They don't represent any kind of majority.
Wow they really just declared themselves a religiously affiliated state. I can't imagine this doesn't make it to the US supreme court. The scary question is will those goons back Alabama's play to become a Christofascist state? If so it would definitely be my breaking point to leave.

Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra decried the court’s decision in a post on X, saying it will have “heart-wrenching consequences for women & their families.”
“I’ve long made clear that overturning Roe was just the beginning of the attacks on women’s health, privacy, & autonomy — and that’s exactly what we continue to see,” Becerra said.
Following the decision, GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley said she agreed that an embryo is an unborn baby but added in an interview that “we need to treat these issues with the utmost respect.”

Her being involved just fuels the GOP hate machine. If she stays quiet it's better for the Dems. Don't give Trump or his ignorant voters any more fuel.
