Giving women control of their bodies is a requirement of progress and destruction of dictatorships. Every fascist / barbarian asshole starts by taking women's autonomy away.
Just like the GOP is doing here...

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Last time I checked the GOP wasn't targeting contraception
Look at Kacsmaryk and mifepristone.
Look at Comstock.
They are. They have tried to ban the plan B pill .
Yet.
Just you wait… They won't stop at abortion.
Source?
Pretty sure it's in P2025. At least the need to make it so employers don't pay for it.
Insane cultists being insane cultists. Civilised countries should ban "religion".
You can't prevent people from believing whatever insane nonsense they wish and I don't think anyone should.
We should, however, ban institutionalised religion. No one's imaginary friend should be given any legal rights or powers, let alone tax exemptions.
Taking exception to theocratic oligarchy is a good thing, and government should be secular, because any country that attempts to exert control over what people are allowed to believe in is uncivilized.
Give it time, the US is heading to the same place. Once the Nazis realize that their anti-immigration stance is going to put the population in decline they'll start passing legislation in their christofascist testing ground states.
They've already noticed the birth rate decline and have been discussing tactics to address it.
They have tried before (and are still trying) to make contraception illegal. The hobby lobby lawsuit about their insurance paying for birth control was a big part of that.
As well anticonception being illegal in several US states.
In no US state is contraception illegal. It really weakens your point when your claims are demonstrably false.
I think the wording anticonception is the key there, there was a huge deal about making abortions illegal. Not sure where they landed on that but it was a big thing for a while.
*Edit: Anticonception and contracpetion are synonyms. Both mean to prevent conception, something that is legal in all US states.
Abortion doesn't prevent or stop conception. Abortion isn't an 'anti-conception'*. So again, in which state is an 'anti-conception' illegal? None. It's a demonstrably false claim that weakens the fuck out of any point trying to be made.
To be honest this has been my first encounter with the word anticonception and I assumed they said it differently to mean different things.
The same iron age, middle eastern moral foundation for both.
