The Antiabortion Playbook Is Coming for Birth Control

Concerns are being raised that the United States may be headed towards banning or severely restricting birth control. This warning may be met with skepticism, but it draws parallels to previous warnings about the constitutional right to abortion. Those in the reproductive health field had cautioned that this right was in danger, only to be dismissed as alarmist. However, this warning ultimately proved correct, and a similar pattern may be emerging with birth control. Further details on this issue can be found through Ms. Magazine, which has reported on the tactics being used to restrict access to birth control, drawing comparisons to the antiabortion movement.
