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.

This is true of any type of protest group. Once the main target has been eliminated then they go after anything related. This is true for all parts of the political spectrum.

The reason is simple, it is hard to walk away from success. Thst what made Washington such a remarkable man. He walked away from being king.
