US Senate to hold vote on protecting birth control in effective dare to GOP

[Tommy Tainant]

• During the 2022 appropriations process, Rep. Lauren Boebert attempted to bar federal funds from being used on “abortifacient contraceptive drugs.”
• Republican Rep. Matt Rosendale proposed adding emergency contraception to a provision prohibiting federal funding of abortion2. Additionally, a former President Donald Trump-endorsed GOP candidate for a seat in the Michigan House of Representatives stated that if elected, she would work to ban all forms of birth control3. While these examples don’t represent the entire Congress, they highlight differing views on contraception within political circles. 1: ‘Calling their bluff’: Contraception bill fails in Senate - POLITICO 2: Birth control is next in line for anti-abortion Republicans. 3: Michigan GOP House candidate says birth control should be banned …

Banning all foms of contraception would never fly because men would be affected.. Even poor blaster would be deprived of a rubber johnny for his micro prick.

I think I see the problem..



At first I was like what does it mean to “engage in contraception” until I read what they call contraception.



Looks like the dems are trying to sneak one around on us. This bill would, by a literal interpretation, legalize abortion. They would say “contraception is the prevention of a pregnancy”

How would they do it?



Word play? “Stopping a pregnancy” would be “preventing a pregnancy”?

Are you saying you are ok with contraception up to abortion ?

Senate Republicans block bill to recognize legal right to contraception

As expected, Right to Contraception act falls short of garnering the 60 votes Senate Democrats needed to advance the bill

www.theguardian.com

The article suggests that the bill might struggle to pass but I am pusszel by this.
I would expect it to pass and be backed up by big adverts educating youngsters.
After all this benefits both parties to the transaction..
Or is it really an extension to the evil abortion denial.
If girls dont want to have babies this protects from that. Less abortion and less unwanted infants. And Mary Lou can go to college and live her best life. Everyones a winner.
What is the idiot britt braying about. ?

Republicans refused to vote for the bill saying it's "unnecessary" and the Democrats are just trying to "frighten women" into voting for them by saying Republicans will ban birth control.

Senate Republicans block bill to protect access to contraception

Democrats expected the GOP to filibuster the legislation and brought it up to make a point to voters ahead of the 2024 election, viewing reproductive rights as a winning issue.

Republicans will NOT be promoting birth control to "youngsters" because that's promoting "immorality". Republicans are opposed to birth control because it leads to "immoral behaviour" and increases abortions. Birth Control gives women license to be promiscuous.

Last year, conservative Republicans in the Missouri legislature took a run at blocking Medicaid funding from going to Planned Parenthood, a frequent and prominent target of anti-abortion activists and politicians. But in the fine print of their measure, those Republicans revealed that their...

That was a lot of words to say we just dont like it. The SC argument against abortion is laughable.People had sex in those days and they also had a primitive form of abortiom. So because the right have been dishonest about abortion they have little credibility when they claim that birth control is safe with them.

Remember most of the supreme court said Roe was "settled law" in order to get the job and then it wasnt.

The idea that 8 unelected wierdos can deprive the rest of the country of the best possible entertainment is ludicrous. The GOF should back it because it is the right thing to do. I just dont see the down side here.

If you want abortion to be a Constitutional right, then it needs to be in the Constitution. The Court looked at it, could not find abortion in the Constitution, and rightfully gave it back to the states to determine how they wanted to handle the subject. All you need now is a Constitutional amendment to be passed, making abortion a Constitutional right.

They are not wrong. Democrats politicize everything they can and try to scare voters on every subject. "Push Granny off a cliff" comes to mind, along with their regular as sunrise fearmongering that Republicans are out to take away all the benefits seniors have.

You cannot rely on republicans to be honest. Roe was "settled law" before it wasnt.
The only hope people have is that this affects men as well.

This is the height of madness. It is exactly the govts job. 100%. This illustrates the nutty extremist behaviour of the insane right.
A combo of no abortion and no contraception is just insanity.. I am laughing at you backward *****.

And we watch your culture disappear because you have fewer babies while immigrants have many. It's up to parents to get their kids on contraception, not the government. I do believe your FIRST reaction is to turn to government for a solution, not yourself.

Thats what it is all about for you fanatics. Forse people to have more babies. You are just shit.

 

[Anathema]

I would want my Reps to vote against it. It should be up to the insurance company and the individual or company who has the policy written whether or not it’s available.

The last I checked, a man and a woman have to perform certain actions to make that happen, and I'm not involved in those actions, but here we are...with you insisting I need to get involved where I don't want to be. I have no desire to tell a woman and a man they have to perform the actions that lead to babies.

I’m saying I see why they wouldn’t pass the bill. It’s an end round the abortion issue. It’s a way to legalize abortion by going around the Supreme Court.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Abortion should be legal and not an issue for the Court.

Falwell was bad.

Almost every former student from Liberty U was deficient in cognitive competence when it came to comprehension and objectivity.,

Because they don’t want dems to try and be tricky and make laws that go around a scotus decision?
