Hillary Clinton is warning about the legality of birth control in the wake of a decision by the Alabama Supreme Court that found frozen embryos created through fertility treatments are children under state law.

“They came for abortion first. Now it’s [in vitro fertilization], and next it’ll be birth control,” the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and secretary of State said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“The extreme right won’t stop trying to exert government control over our most sacred personal decisions until we codify reproductive freedom as a human right,” Clinton added.

    Yes I am. Conservatism is a spectrum, believe it or not, just like liberalism. You’re making broad strokes assumptions, that may or may not be backed up by any science. And guess what, I know conservatives that are ‘pro abortion’ and others who are more extreme and are very anti abortion.

    And believe it or not, the guy in the white house right now isn’t a liberal, just bcz he puts a D next to his name.

      Nobody is pro abortion. People are for having the freedom to make choices pertaining to their own bodies and it not be dictated by someone else. Pro abortion would just mean aborting every child and therefore the end of humanity. That is why they call it pro-choice. Those against it should honestly be called anti choice because they believe governments should control your births. Please keep the government out of my bedroom. If it pertains to a sexual act that involves consensual adults, it is no business of the government. That goes from flirting to birthing.

        I am pro abortion but that’s mostly because I am actually a child hating psychopath who really just wants to watch humanity drive itself to extinction, for the schadenfreude, more than anything. I assume I’m not the only one.

      Just take a look at what people voted for and against repealing Roe vs. Wade. You can hopefully connect the dots from there.

      I know conservatives that are ‘pro abortion’

      And they’re always uninformed. I consider myself progressive and I find a ton of common ground with hardcore republican voters because most “progressive” beliefs are reasonable. Things like more social programs, higher taxes for corporations, and even abortion rights. They consistently vote against their best interests because of momentum or fox News propaganda.
