I'm sure you can find more data yourself, Google search isn't that far gone yet.
- freedomben 3y agoThis does seem like the best example so far, but I think on it's own it falls short of the original goalpost of Conservatives "love the idea of limiting access to contraception." Steelmanning, it would be interesting to hear from the opposition why they don't support the bill. For example, I could see an opponent argue that this is not something that should be done at the Federal level, and such an argument would not make that person "love[s] the idea of limiting access to contraception" as GP has asserted. I could also see some unease about defining it as a "right" because that can have significant legal implications.
- notpachet 3y agoWell, I don't think you're necessarily going to find anyone who says they "love" the idea of limiting contraception access, so I may have been guilty of inadvertently signaling that I agree with the choice of phrase there.
