Republicans are coming after this through the Comstock act:
The Comstock Act was passed by Congress under the administration of Ulysses S. Grant and criminalized the act of using the U.S. Postal Service to send "obscene" materials such as contraceptives, substances that induce abortion, pornographic content, sex toys and any written material about these items.
“Obscene” medication 🤡
A 50 year project to capture the supreme court. Without a doubt their most successful political operation in modern history. But during those 50 years the world kept marching forward and now the thing they railed against is available in pill form and public opinion on abortion is overwhelmingly positive.
Conservatism is a losers game.
This might sound kinda fucked up, but i was having discussions with friends(mostly very pro choice) before the court decision. We basically agreed that this would be really bad short term, but that it would eventually accelerate use to a future where abortion rights would make it into the US constitution.
I hope this comes true, otherwise nothing good will have really come from all this bullshit.
It's losing the people, but it still has the power (which is what they want).
