59 years ago today, Griswold v. Connecticut guaranteed the right to birth control.

Justice Thomas says the Supreme Court should "reconsider" that ruling.

And this week, 38 GOP senators voted against the Right to Contraception Act.

Republicans are coming for birth control.

@rbreich I guess this is the GOP's new recruiting strategy. Rapey incels are the only new blood they're getting.

@rbreich so what are any of you people going to do about it?

@rbreich see the big picture. Republicans are pro-guns everywhere. Guns kill children. So we need to produce more children. Result: no abortions, no birth control. It makes all sense.

    @rbreich They are coming for fighting against women. It's pure fascist domination.

    @rbreich nothing has ever made me question my service to this country on a personal level- as a young person thinking I was contributing to the joint success & evolution of this nation. Clearly the nation is a cave man that won’t wash its taint or hands. My bad

    @rbreich Maybe after getting rid of abortion and contraception, the Republicans will go after errctile dysfunction pills. Oh right…rich white men would go ballistic.

    @rbreich or if you read the bill, there were no safeguards based on age

    @rbreich The problem with people who identify as "conservative" is they are a bunch of busy bodies who can't keep their noses out of other people's business. They are all like the neighborhood gossip that everyone hates but is afraid to stand up too.

    @rbreich not the queer community yelling at indifferent cis women for years that they're up next. :|

    @rbreich Similar to the Dobbs decision, overturning Griswold v. Connecticut wouldn't make contraception illegal, rather it would allow assemblies to ban or restrict contraception. Unlike abortion however, the political support for banning contraception in the US is negligible, even if congressional Republicans don't think contraception should be a federal right.
