Right to Contraception 1. Is it a problem that doesn’t exist? Or is it a problem that has been directly threatened by the SCOTUS opinion and Justice Thomas’ concurring opinion? To recap: Roe was originally passed based on the 14th Amendment’s right to privacy and has since been overturned with the recent Dobbs decision, which says that abortion is not constitutionally protected by the right to privacy under the 14th amendment. Justice Thomas explicitly stated in his written concurring opinion that other landmark cases decided based on the same right to privacy should be revisited. He specifically named the cases of Griswold v Connecticut (right for married couples to obtain and use contraception) as well as two other cases codifying right to same sex relationships and marriage. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. And it’s a problem that needed further protection. 2. As for expanding government, that point is laughable considering FL has no problem banning certain books in school, creating laws against teaching CRT in elementary schools (talk about solving a problem that doesn’t exist), and attacking trans rights and limiting their healthcare access. So when our governor proudly claims we are the “freest state” in the country, free for whom? FL limits government for those it wants to be free and increases it for those it wants to control. 3. And lastly, c’mon Kat. That’s not how birth control works. That’s not how any of this works. Birth control prevents abortions, PERIOD. Increased access to contraception decreases abortion numbers. If you threaten or restrict the former, you will increase the latter. This is fact. You can’t have it both ways. If her outburst says anything, it demonstrates a huge deficiency in sex ed.
