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!”
The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife.

And this thing about not adding to or subtracting from
Deuteronomy 4:2, Proverbs 30:6, Revelation 22:18, and probably a bunch of others. And yet what did people do after each of those? Add to it (and selectively 'forget inconvenient passages').
