    Not if the GOP has it's way:

    Mississippi governor refuses to rule out banning contraception

    GOP Senate candidate Blake Masters wants to allow states to ban contraception use

    If the R's have their way, birth control is going to be restricted. There are already bills in legislatures (or passed) going after the morning after pill, the abortion pill and the IUD in a number of states, as well as making it illegal to the point of jail to get them from out of state. They want to cut funding for family planning and oppose sex education in the schools.

    What happens when they restrict birth control to married couples or altogether? They're working to increase the available baby stock, remember?

    We’ll see if it happens. I was referring to birth control pills, but of course abortion is birth control, so I should try to be more specific.

    I could see restriction with the abortion pill…given that’s it called the abortion pill.

    Wildly available … except in those places where they have a religious objection but you already knew that. Except in those places trying to ban it, but you already knew that. But keep trying to pretend this isn’t happening.

    And since I haven’t asked in a while, how did your substitute applications go? Find any good gigs in a classroom?

    Who is “they” with the religious objection? A church?

    I still have no answer for the second thing. I doubt I will two months from now. It doesn’t occupy any space in my brain

    How about a pharmacist with a personal religious objection who refuses to fill your prescription, to pick a previously existing real world example.

    I could have used RU486 or mifeprex, but I went with the common useage. "Abortion Pill" is the Republican useage, similar to "Partial Birth Abortion", which I assure you is not the proper name of the very rare procedure. Republicans are much better at branding.

    They're coming after birth control, you know that right?

    No Birth control. No Gay marriage. No Gay adoption. Organized school prayer. No early childhood education. Convert school curriculum to pre trade school and not college prep or well rounded education. Dissolve Title IX. Legalized housing segregation. That’s what will happen.
