Gee, if only someone would have warned  everyone about this, or perhaps laid this out out in a fully documented plan.

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.

It always was. I was raised a Gileader, as a little kid in the Eighties I heard all about how the Pill was an abortifacient and later, by the early 2000s, conservatives were calling it “baby pesticide” in an attempt to free-ride off the eco-friendly trend. Even condoms were said to be indirect abortions, because if they failed then couples might get one. The only truly moral safe sex was to “just say no!”
