The only acceptable way to prevent pregnancies, for American conservatives anyway, is to abstain from sex. There’s a lot of talk about babies’ lives in relation to abortion, but the bigger motivation is punishing women who have sex with an unwanted pregnancy. “She should have thought of that before she opened her legs” really is the bottommost concept for them. A pill that allows free sex without pregnancy? How does that punish anyone for having sex?? This is their attitude.
Telling teenagers, who’s bodies are filling with hormones telling them HAVE SEX NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW to abstain is just never going to work. And we’ve seen that demonstrated over and over. Including with people like Sarah Palin’s own son.
I know right? They’re not having sex BECAUSE contraception is available. Unfortunately these conservatives are great at ignoring the data on this and perpetually jousting with this windmill.
I think you mean Lauren Boebert. Sarah Palin had a pregnant daughter who was 17 at the time. Same difference though.
Yes, thanks. They’re all from the same right-wing idiot mold.
They’re easy to mistake for one another, but Sarah Palin didn’t get caught engaging in foreplay with her boyfriend at a very public theater.
She probably would have, but cameras weren’t ubiquitous enough yet.
If a sperm is a baby and an egg is a baby, when they merge does a child die?
Colorado did this, to similar success:

Just another reason the US sucks.
