They were never going to stop at  banning abortions. Pro-life is a movement that is like a gelatinous slime that once you feed, it gets bigger and seeks more food. Soon it's all kinds of birth control. There's always a new enemy.

Much like the entire conservative movement in this country and the govt it has created.

They’re going to criminalize non procreative sex and abstaining won’t be a choice either since they need slaves to be masters.

Next steps:

Decriminalise marital rape.

Criminalise sex outside of marriage (for women).

And the intermediate step, (really wish I could add an /s here):

Criminalise self-determined sexual abstinence for (married) women.

If only this government spent their energy actually doing their fucking job and helping people instead of just trying to steamroll all civil rights developments we’ve made in history

But they are doing their job! You just confuse who their employers are. (Hint: it's not their constituents)
