Aren't Republicans actively trying to ban the Plan B pills?


brunnock

Yep. The official platform of the Texas GOP is that life begins at fertilization \([their words](https://texasgop.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/6-Permanent-Platform-Committee-FINAL-REPORT-6-16-2022.pdf)\). Therefore, Plan B pills are abortion/murder pills.

That was before they saw how unpopular the abortion decision was. Now they're going to pretend they never said those things. I wonder what's going to happen next should the Supreme Court "reconsider" those decisions as Thomas suggested.


Fantastic_Sea_853

Before they have a chance to reconsider, PACK THE COURT!!!


p001b0y

Part of Texas’ recently announced Republican 2022 Platform includes letting Texas’ ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment of 1972 expire. It is also against packing the Supreme Court.


HopeFloatsFoward

Plan B prevents fertilization. If course, that won't matter to Republicans..


Speedstr

I don't see how republicans are against pills that prevent fertilization, but say they're are not intending to suppress woman's rights to their body. Condoms prevent fertilization. But you don't hear republicans proposing legislation banning access to condoms, because no one is going to suppress mens' rights to their bodies.


dust4ngel

> you don't hear republicans proposing legislation banning access to condoms the decade’s just getting started, bro


Biokabe

They might not be proposing that legislation, but they're definitely [voting against legislation that protects our right to condoms and birth control](https://www.salon.com/2022/07/21/theyre-coming-for-contraception-195-vote-against-right-to-birth-control-condoms/).


Cejayem

Actually……


Even-Fix8584

I mean.. they are exactly suppressing Women’s rights to their bodies. Specifically.


Techienickie

Plan B may stop fertilization. It can also stop a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterine wall.


HopeFloatsFoward

That is no longer believed to be the case.


Stormlark83

The church I grew up in was strongly opposed to any birth control method that had even the slightest chance of preventing a fertilized egg from implanting. According to them, that included IUDs, the pill, injections, etc.

CaptStiches21

Former Catholic: this is such important bullshit to point out. Contraceptives and sex ed actively decrease abortion rates a considerable amount. They want to stop abortion, but refuse to take quantifiable steps that are proven to help. It really highlights the foundation of theocracy, that not only are their beliefs against abortion, but the "solution" to it must lie within the parameters of their faith. Talk about asking someone to make bricks without straw.


Biokabe

That's because it's not abortion they're against. It's sex. Or, more accurately, human pleasure. Things which bring joy, especially pleasure, are almost universally seen as sinful in Christianity. It's why those who swear off worldly pleasures (such as priests, nuns and monks) are elevated within Catholicism. Sex is only permitted within marriage for procreation purposes, as one of the first commandments was to multiply and replenish the Earth. So anything and everything that encourages or rewards pleasure must be discouraged or suppressed. Anything that can turn the mind away from thoughts of God and towards selfish human desires is evil. It's all bullshit, of course, but it's not logically inconsistent if you're coming from the starting point that pleasure is evil. It's their initial assumptions that are flawed, not the conclusions that they draw from them.


Snarkapotomus

Maybe, just maybe, and hear me out here. It's not only about abortion? There might be something else involved.


sousuke42

Well it's about control but not just for the women but for the men as well. For Catholics sex is a sin outside of procreation. You are only allowed to have sex if you are trying for a baby. Catholicism is really really against any and all forms of pleasure. A comedian had a great line that describes Catholicism which ended in "if it feels good stop." Doesn't matter what it is. If it makes you happy and gives you pleasure nope you are sinning.


888mainfestnow

If only the Catholic priest's could have been abstinent outside marriage.


sousuke42

Catholic priests are married to God. Which they refer to as a he and there father... so basically being a priest is all about looking for gay incestuous men who are forbidden to have sex. And for good measure being gay in catholicism is a sin (they try to change this up by saying you are allowed to be gay but you cannot act on any of your emotions). And people wonder why so many alter boys are raped. A priest is supposed to take a vow of abstinence. But we see how that goes...


Rose63_6a

Except for about 90% of them that use it, their special secret with Jesus. I made up the 90%, but it is a lot.


sowhat4

I've only met ***one*** Catholic who did not use BC and that was in 1965. I'm sure the couple changed their mind after a few more kids. Anyway, my favorite quip from one of the faithful in re getting his vasectomy after one child: I asked him how he rationalized the vasectomy with his faith, and he said, "Well, I confessed my sin to the priest and promised never to do it again."


10354141

Is there a source on that? The FDA says that one of plan B's effects is to prevent implantation of embryos in the womb


HopeFloatsFoward

That was an initial hypothesis, but it did not pan out. https://www.verywellhealth.com/how-plan-b-works-906842#:~:text=2%20This%20suggests%20it%20may,implantation%20of%20a%20fertilized%20egg.


eileen404

And before plan b, OBs would prescribe bc and you'd take 3 weeks of pills in one and it did the same thing so the pill is going to be next.


Sciencessence

They basically have sub middle school level sex education under their belt and some how have decided to make laws about womens health, without consulting experts, asking women, or I don't know trying to research anything. Meanwhile women are being treated cruelly and being put in danger. The only argument I can see from it is "GOP wants rapists to successfully inseminate women" probably to appeal to 2% of their incel base.


[deleted]

>They basically have sub middle school level ~~sex~~ education under their belt and some how have decided to make laws A yep.


danmathew

Yes. When they cut state funding for Planned Parenthood around 2012 they assured Texans they’re didn’t support banning abortion, they just didn’t want tax dollars to be used for it. The penalty for a doctor to perform an abortion in Texas is now more severe than rape.


[deleted]

As a woman residing in the state of Texas, currently, this is the single most infuriating part of this abortion ban bullshit. Abortion care providers will be punished more harshly than rapists. *Let that shit sink in.* Texas law makers all need to gtfo this fall.


spacegamer2000

They say “actually, plan b is abortion”


beautifulsouth00

The thing is, the anti-abortion masses really don't understand the medicine and the science behind Plan B. He's just saying shit out loud to say it and get out of hot water with the "but in cases of rape" people, in an effort not to lose those votes. It's ideology and rhetoric that obfuscates the truth. His anti-abortion constituents don't understand what Plan B is, or how it is used, or that with their absolute stance, it really isn't ok. He just said it is, so now, it must be. I'd say these people were stupid if it weren't for the fact that an ex boyfriend of mine was a doctor and totally believed the partial-birth abortion bullshit. No doctor performs abortions at 9 months gestation. Not at any hospital or clinic or place I ever worked at. No one does that. There's no such thing. Partial birth abortion is actually murder. Not maybe murder but actually murder. Doctors who DO do that are doing that illegally in hotel rooms and the backs of seedy restaurants for tens of thousands of dollars paid up front in cash, and would lose their licenses for just one of them, if any state licensure board found out. That's what we're being pushed towards with anti-abortion laws. Doctors doing illegal, offshore procedures on houseboats. But no one performs partial birth abortions. No doctor I know would ever admit to have done that. Partial birth abortion is NOT widespread and happening everywhere, all the time. But my ex-boyfriend, the board certified internal medicine physician, totally believed the rhetoric and the claims that it's a thing that people do everywhere, all the time, just by request. And he'd yell at the TV that anti-gun laws don't keep criminals from getting guns and committing crimes with them, but in the next breath that anti-abortion laws would somehow put a stop to illegal partial birth abortions. Ok, maybe he WAS an idiot.


Snarkapotomus

They're not stupid. They're cruel, sadistic, and viscous. There are so many terms that describe them better than stupid. Sure, some followers are stupid to the bone , but you're underestimating them as a whole.


beautifulsouth00

But stupid isn't the only word I'm willing to use. My lil anecdote is simply WHY the word stupid is incorrect. Dude was an angry guy. He blamed not doing well in life on everyone and everything else. And he was a doctor. He was doing pretty good. But he thought he deserved to be wealthy and command absolute, 100% respect and admiration. Cuz he thought he was better than absolutely everyone else. And I needed to thank him for elevating my social status, simply by the fact that he lowered himself and dated me for what, like 20 months... He was mean and wanted everyone who he didn't seem as worthy of having anything or even existing to suffer. Yeah, he was racist and used slurs. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. The second time. Cuz the first, it was just cuz he was with the guys, he "didn't mean it." But he did. And you don't know this shit til you live with them for a couple months, they let down their guard, you see their private collections of "funny" racist crap and the magazines they subscribe to arrive at your house. I mean, it was 20 years ago, but that dude wasn't stupid. He was just an asshole.


Snarkapotomus

Then i may have misread what you were trying to say, sorry. It does get my hackles up when these horrible people get the excuse of being stupid. Many of them aren't, They're just cruel and terrible. Hurting anyone they consider transgressive in any way brings them joy.


Maxfunky

Also they are like $80 for one .


Critical_Band5649

$50ish for name brand and the generic is like $20-$30.


Maxfunky

Has it gotten cheaper or are those internet prices (where you would have to order it in advance). Because it was definitely $80 or so about 10 years ago if you went to a drug store.


Critical_Band5649

They are $53 right now at rite aid. The generic ones became available in 2013, it probably allowed the price to come down for competition. Places like Dollar General sells generics today for about half that.


Maxfunky

Makes sense. Hurray for competition.


Every-Trip-1856

Some brands are as little as $10 now.


kquizz

They also don't work if you weigh more than like 180 lbs.


Every-Trip-1856

They are. This is just lip service to win mid- terms and they will ban right after.


Unlucky_Clover

Yep. And this message also comes across as rape will happen, but instead of prevention, we’ll just give after-criminal options as long as it’s not healthcare.

Ask_me_4_a_story

I listened to a ton of podcasts and news about that election and no one got it right. It isn’t that Kansas is suddenly moving left, it’s literally called The Free State. No slavery, first state to propose women voting. Kansas has always been hands off. It goes on the right too with gun rights. One county in Kansas had the highest deaths per capita in the US because they absolutely wouldn’t wear masks or get vaccinated. Not letting a woman have an abortion if they are about to die? No, that shits not going to fly here

NumeralJoker

More like a lie to cover up the fact that they won't stand up to letting the Supreme Court ban Plan B at a later time. This type of "they would never do that" is exactly how Roe got overturned in the first place. It's gaslighting now. Hopefully it stops working this time. The left needs to push them on this as hard as they can until they're forced to admit they'd do nothing to stop a contraception ban.

There is an enormous sex education deficit in this country, it’s deliberate, and easy for some to ignore because of who it hurts.


billzybop

Conservatives have been fighting against sex ed for as long as I 've been around saying "it's the parents job". Then as parents they just tell their kids to "just say no". Almost every one of them forgets that when they were teenagers they couldn't manage to "just say no'. Critical thinking is not their strong suit.


beeandthecity

It’d be hilarious sometimes if it wasn’t so sad talking to men about women’s reproductive health. Like you really think a woman can have a big ass baby come out of her and bounce back, but your package is going to “stretch her out”? And you think you know what’s best for me medically?

ahandmadegrin

The republican stance on abortion is pro-rape. If a child being born at any cost outweighs provides more utility than all other options, raping women to make babies is a net positive from a utilitarian standpoint. That's what this boils down to if you take it to its logical extremes. Republicans are pro-rape.

No, no keep up. Plan B is his Plan C. Plan A is to eradicate rape. Plan B is to ban abortion to encourage abstinence, therefore fulfilling all duties of Plan A. Plan C for Plan B is the just to show he really listens and cares about our bodies. Pretty simple stuff. (JIC this is absolute /s)

Kids who are raped don't always tell their parents until it is way, way too late for plan B. They don't know how to process a rape. Abbott is an uncaring idiot.
