Not just banning abortion, but any medicine that could maybe possibly be used as an abortifacient, even if it is normally prescribed medicine for something else

Not just banning abortion, but any medicine that could maybe possibly be used as an abortifacient, even if it is normally prescribed medicine for something else. Some women suffering from arthritis can't get methotrexate for example.

Not just that, but planning to make contraception illegal. Probably sex-ed too.

  You're being downvoted because there is no way in hell that the Republican party will push for restrictions on contraception. After all, both their politicians and their court nominees insisted that abortion is a long-settled issue, and have not reneged on it the second they had the power to - we can trust them to continue operating in good faith, and in a matter that respects public opinion.

    GOP SCOTUS Justice Thomas has posited that everything is on the table: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/24/thomas-constitutional-rights-00042256 https://www.politico.com/news/2022/06/24/thomas-constitution... At the risk of hurting the feelings of party members, I do not associate "good faith" with them. Edit: I missed the sarcasm. Poe's Law, ya know.

  Any sort of useful sex ed was out of the question when I was in public high school in the late 90s in not-urban Texas. We got plenty of horror stories around premarital sex, but absolutely no information about birth control or the meaning of consent. Shockingly, I have several classmates who were grandmothers before I became a mother.
