GOP are dodging contraception question same as they did abortion questions

Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves wouldn't say Sunday if his state would consider a ban on contraceptions if Roe v. Wade were overturned

'I believe that clearly a life begins at conception,' Tate told NBC's Meet the Press

'If there is legislation brought to you to ban contraception, would you sign it?' NBC host Chuck Todd asked

'Well, I don't think that's going to happen in Mississippi,' Reeves said in a continued dodge of the question

Todd said: 'But you're not answering the question'

What the Sam hell is he talking about outlawing contraception?

Now they are pushing to ban contraception. Conservatives want to send us back to the stone ages with their biblical nonsense. Meanwhile none of them live up to those ideals. They are hypocrites and liars

Republicans need to stop talking about abortion NOW! They should seize the moral high ground and refuse to comment on the ill egal leak. Focus on the destruction Biden has done to the economy.

6. The only way Democrats will win this is to take the offensive and call out the Republican Party

as the against women’s healthcare, against a woman’s right to choose, forcing a woman to come to term in cases of rape, incest, and the life of the mother

There can be no middle ground on this, and the entire Republican Party has to be painted as the party giving rapists more rights than the victim

That is the republican platform, and they must be called out on this, all of them

and that is why Schumer must bring this up for a vote like he said he would this week for all to see

My bet is all, have used contraception in their family planning.

Barrett had her quiverful plus adopted. Ms Rubio had four, but why not more?

There have been 100’s?, 1,000’s?, of articles written about how the birth control pill allowed women to take control of their lives for the first time. They could plan a career an choose when to have a child. It also led to the sexual revolution because women no longer had to worry about unplanned pregnancy. They were able to be fully sexual beings just like men and that, more than anything else, is exactly what they want to put an end to.
