It all makes me so sad, going back to the dark ages for our children :(

I was on BC even before I was sexually active. My periods were so bad in middle and high school that I became severely anemic.

Finally while at university my doctor figured it out and put me on the pill, and I haven’t not been on some form of contraception since…currently an IUD. It’s been a godsend. My quality of life improved exponentially. I can’t imagine it being illegal.

Okay, now do the history of Republicans refusing to codify Roe v Wade when they could have.

We all are getting played it’s top versus bottom not left versus right that’s the ruling class's propaganda used to stay in power by both regressive parties.

The plutocrats, oligarchy, and kleptocracy are our oppressors using class war against us every day.

That's the point they always need that carrot of crumbs and endless campaign while never delivering anything .

Agreed. Most people who vote for Republican politicians also want safe access for abortions—well at least their own ethical ones. That party let voters down far more often.
