Do you ever think we're going to see a time where birth control will be banned?

I have to wonder how many people are currently in favor of it, together with porn lately there seems to be a vocal push to get rid of both.

(also divorce)

All forms of birth control (including condoms, IUDs, etc.)?  No.
Hormonal birth control?  Maybe --- based on what is now known about its side effects, if it weren't already FDA-approved, it would probably be an uphill climb to get it approved by the FDA.

People have been talking about the potential risks.
I do wonder are those as dramazic to request the medecin to be pulled from the shelves, even though hormonal pills also come with quite a few benefits managing the menstrual cycle?

As for immediate side effects, that unfortunately hits all hormonal anticonception methods, including implants, IUDs, ...
At that point, using condoms may be the only "safe" method to use and I know there's also a growing backlash to condoms going on out there lately.

Right-wing ideology has been rapidly growing inside of the U.S. to where I expect possibly for gay marriage to be banned again, contraception to get far more restricted, regulations about people being being discriminated at their jobs due to being Jewish, transgender, bisexual, Muslim, disabled, etc winding up repealed, and so on.

There's already a rapid movement underway to criminalize women who have abortions to where those who have miscarriages have to flee their locations in order to avoid police action due to suspicion. This is in tandem with increasing book bans and other restrictions on free expression such as films and video games. Christian fundamentalism also is rising as those of other faith backgrounds are widely bashed in public.

It's depressing, but it's the poison chalice that the American people chose to drink.

Most polling data I've seen in recent years is that banning of any sort of birth control is very unpopular amongst most Americans. But you're not going to see that reflected on X/Twitter, it's not even a representative slice of America anymore, nor was it ever. What's going on is a process by the far right to try and use the Supreme Court to legislate from the bench by passing stated laws practically designed to be challenged as unconstitutional and heard before the supreme court.

The point, though, is not just whether it's popular with the masses, but whether action would be taken in spite of the "will" of the masses.

I'm not sure, despite my clear pessimism and previous comments, whether or not the current move to far right social and culture beliefs is sustainable or not.

This all could burst dramatically in a balloon type fashion. Like the end of the housing bubble. Or the end of the Cold War shaping the U.S. with the Soviets suddenly disappearing.

The more people are bluntly subject to simple questions about whether or not the government should literally throw women into prison if they're suspected of having abortions... I think the more people understand the consequences of Big Brother government the less they like it.

Banning birth control is just another means for desperate women to attempt to trap a man. What they don't realize is that all this is going to do is leave a lot more single mothers across the population.

Thank God I don't ever give away my real information when I get laid by females.

Is ending recreational sex something on the mind of so many people?

Not all forms, though I think as long term side effects are shown, we might see some of the common ones he dropped.

In this day and age children are so expensive all you would see would be brutal home abortions again, dead babies in the trash, and fatherless children because their dad didn't want to stay

 No.13615

> and fatherless children because their dad didn't want to stay
I know no fault divorce is also on the table for a ban apparently.

I do wonder how they'll fight against fathers abandoning their kids.
Wouldn't surpirse me that the blame goes to the mothers for taking the risk to have sex with an irresponsible father

I think it's more likely we start vat-growing people than disallowing casual sex. That would probably be safer and better for gestation anyway. Between completely defanging arguments about bodily autonomy, you eliminate dipshit stupid women poisoning fetuses with alcohol or other drugs.

If pregnancy is pushed down to being a completely intentional, deliberate choice, it would also cut down on the bodily autonomy arguments. If pregnant requires more effort than just fucking then it becomes a very deliberate choice. Especially if there are easier and safer ways to procreate.

Let's be honest, human bodies just suck. We're designed to get tricked into procreation with unbelievable hormone washes that flood our brains to compel us into an act that's frankly got dangerous consequences because evolution demands we perpetuate.

idk... i think many people against birth control r more against the culture that seems to frequently surround birth control use rather than birth control itself

 No.13624

>>13623
This is definitely true. It can oftentimes be a "For me, not for thee" kind of thing.

Are we going to assume a republican president will turn this around?
