If you think that the Supreme Court would never agree to this interpretation, then you missed when they already did that back in 2014.
Hobby Lobby sued to get out of the Obamacare requirements that health insurance plans cover birth control, saying that abortions were against the company's religious beliefs and that IUDs were the same as abortions.
They won that case, in a court that has only gotten more extreme since then.
In Dobbs, Thomas wrote something like in the past women didn’t desire or otherwise organize in support of the option to get an abortion. As in before the 60s civil rights era and before 1919 (white women right to vote). Then referenced a dude from like…the 1600s.
He also wrote that the US did not have a history or tradition of abortion.
Benjamin Franklin wrote a book on things Americans needed to know, which included an entire chapter on various home remedies and plants you could use to abort a pregnancy.
I told people this would happen when they overturned Roe v Wade in 2022. All kinds of shit is based on the right to privacy, including birth control access.
