The Road To Gilead, Con't

With the fall of Roe virtually assured, Republicans are lining up to destroy the next big barrier to Gilead, Griswold v Connecticut, and they're making it very clear they are coming after birth control, contraception, and bodily autonomy by "returning" these issues "to voters" next.

After the U.S. Supreme Court overturns women’s constitutional right to abortion this summer, one Arizona Republican candidate for U.S. Senate thinks judges should also take aim at the right to buy and use contraception.

Blake Masters, a Tucson-based venture capitalist, boasts on his website that he will only vote to confirm federal judges “who understand that Roe and Griswold and Casey were wrongly decided, and that there is no constitutional right to abortion.” Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, decided in 1973 and 1992, respectively, both upheld a constitutional right to abortion access.

But the ruling in Griswold v. Connecticut in 1965 protected a married couple’s right to buy and use contraceptives without government restrictions. The case centered on a Connecticut law that banned the use of contraceptives, which the court determined violated a married couple’s constitutional right to privacy, establishing the basis for the right to privacy with respect to intimate practices.

Masters’ stance puts him on the opposite side of the issue from the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the campaign arm of GOP senators, which has advised candidates on talking points following the leak of a draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.

In a section instructing candidates on how to “forcefully refute Democrat lies” about Republicans’ positions on abortion and health care, the NRSC declares that “Republicans DO NOT want to take away contraception.”

Elsewhere in the talking points memo to GOP Senate candidates, the NRSC advises them to say, “I’m not in favor of putting women or doctors in jail. I would never take away anyone’s contraception or health care. That’s just the typical BS you get from politicians.”

Yes, the typical BS from Republican politicians, who absolutely want to have American women as kept breeding slaves like Bene Tlielax axolotl tanks from Dune.

And if you don't think the decreasing share of white folk in America has everything to do with overturning Roe, Casey, and Griswold, I have bad news for you. America's been a white ethnostate for, you know, centuries, and forcing births of white babies for Millennials and especially Zoomers has been the plan for some time now.

Republicans are coming for everything that has allowed diversity in America and they continue to lie to you about it until it will be far too late.

Count on that.
