It’s in the process of happening and will happen if women continue to bury their heads in the sand and act as though Roe v Wade is etched in stone.

Exactly. And if they don’t pay attention to the issues.

The right to privacy that the GOP is always whining about? That comes from Griswold v. Connecticut, which was the SCOTUS case overturning a law that outlawed contraception for married couples. Social conservatives hate Griswold. They also hate Eisenstadt v. Baird, which extended the privacy rights and access to contraception of Griswold to unmarried people.

When you hear these conservative types wanting to overturn the right to privacy, they’re really wanting to overturn decisions like Griswold, and outlaw birth control again. That’s a problem.
