In reply to the discussion: Texas governor says rape victims can prevent pregnancy by taking Plan B [View all]Lonestarblue
(10,003 posts)21. Texas is also suing to gut parts of the ACA by claiming religious objections to its requirement
that insurance companies cover preventative treatments like birth control, HIV drugs, and STD testing. This case is likely to go to the Supreme Court, and it will give them an opportunity to rule that birth control is illegal under the ACA, or perhaps everywhere. Theyll look for any excuse. These people are true sickos.
If we can keep the House and gain at least two more Senators, we really need to pass Medicare for all, with options for all forms of reproductive healthcare including abortion. I dont know if such a massive change could get done, but our patchwork health care system is broken.

Yes, most forced birthers believe Plan B is an abortifacient, and want it to be banned.

It is not about helping women, it is about Republican's tanking poll numbers in Texas.
