What’s next?

Question

I have been reading from a few different sources that it’s possible the Supreme Court will likely put restrictions on birth control next. Do you think this is true? I have also heard they will be coming for gay marriage rights and outlawing it again. This isn’t just Word of Mouth but actual news stations are suggesting this.

Answer

It isn’t word of mouth or a rumor. In Clarence Thomas’s ruling he wrote that the case presecents of gay marriage , gay sex , and contraceptive access all need to be “corrected”

Answer

I rarely say this, but I just don’t know. I didn’t think I’d live to see RvW overturned. It’s a fundamental right. Nothing this SCOTUS does will shock me at this point. 
Yesterday’s decision wasn’t just about abortion. It opened doors that should have remained locked shut. It’s an assault on what America is, on who we are as a nation. It’s torn a hole in the fabric of democracy, I’m not sure we can mend.

Answer

It's horrifying but true. Everybody should be terrified and furious. If repubs take back controll of congress in the midterms, they'll introduce legislation to federally outlaw abortion, and I would be shocked if LGBTQ+ and other rights didn't immediately follow. This is dangerous.

Answer

I also just heard that they are trying to end the indigenous children protection act that strives to keep indigenous children with their tribe and not be taken by white adoptive families. They are trying to rip apart indigenous families. Also they apparently just made it so you can’t sue a cop for not providing your Miranda rights or violating them. So it’s down the shitter

Answer

Ask yourself this, why do we want the FEDERAL government to have mob rule over everyone in the United States? 
Why give Nancy Pelosi and congressmen all the power to make laws over you? 
Wouldn’t that be deemed tyranny? 
Why is giving the states the power to create their own laws so bad in your opinion? 
Do you really want Congress to make all the decisions for you without your vote or any say?  Or would you rather vote in your state elections to pass laws that benefit you and your family?

Answer

Gay marriage, HIPPA, contraceptives, civil rights acts, anti discrimination policies, gun regulations.
I fear it will become an overall free for all with states choosing how to govern. Texas is already chatting about succession. California may be next and that will hurt so many people since californias revenue, taxes, and economy keep a large part of the country afloat.

Answer

The reason I think birth control restrictions are likely is because the extreme right are for privatized healthcare and insurance. Right now most insurance agencies in the US will cover some level of birth control but if they become emboldened by the right and given more freedom to pick and choose medication, it is likely that they will deny coverage for birth control for reasons outside of medical necessity. When a physician prescribes a medication there are instances where an individual’s insurance will question the rx and and request the prescriber change it to a med they specifically cover. It can be a fight to get a patient some meds. I can foresee this happening with oral birth control, where insurance companies will cover choices A, B, and C but not choices D, E and F, and A, B, C may not be compatible with every woman.

Answer

Lord let’s hope not!!! 
You can’t just tell people to take better precautions to avoid unwanted pregnancies and then take away one of the biggest ways to avoid it all. 
Truly, with how shallow and greedy the government is, I wouldn’t think they would put a ban on BC only because it’s a huge money maker. They sleep in the same bed as big pharma. I deep down don’t feel like they would ruin that relationship.  
Now, more than ever, we should really push for government assistance with BC.

Answer

I don’t understand the whole contraception situation… are they trying to ban birth control ? All forms of it? I haven’t been keeping up with the news

Answer

I think in my state I read that our governor is already considering banning Plan B
