BREAKING: #SCOTUS upholds Trump-Pence rule, dismantling no-cost birth control coverage. TL;DR once again, this is about control — they are seeking to control ALL aspects of our lives. From birth control coverage to abortion access to LGBTQ+ rights, all freedoms are at risk. /1
The result of today's #SCOTUS decision? Countless people who need it will now be unable to afford contraception. Because the Court just decided that the whims and beliefs of their employers super cede the very real needs of their employees. Think about that for a minute. /2
For the Trump Admin, it's a feature not a bug that this ruling will impact those who already face the biggest obstacles to care — including Black, Latinx, and Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, undocumented people, and LGBTQ folks. This is discrimination. /3
Let’s be clear: For the radical right, it's never been a moral objection to abortion although that would be bad enough. It's about using power, in this case power of employment, to be able to exert control over people's lives to force them to adhere to a rigid view of family. 4/4
We will talk more about this on the @NARAL IG Live chat #ReproRundown with @MollyJongFast at noon today. Molly was already on deck to talk about misogyny in the 2020 election. Nothing says misogyny like pushing for bosses to get to decide what birth control their employees use.
P.P.S. If you want more on the history on the radical right and their decades long quest to centralize reproductive oppression and capture the Courts in their quest for control, I wrote a whole book about it. http://Www.TheLieThatBinds.com
