Trump/GOP Moving US Policy To Personhood And End To Contraceptive Use.

The long term goal is to make "personhood" the law of the land. And it also means that most forms of family planning could end up being banned. Add to that policy of theocratic Supreme Court which is what the RW Christians want and Trump supports and abstinence would be the only way to control the size of one's family.

As hyperbolic as it sounds does that mean that divorce could become illegal or non existent. That we would return to Sodomy laws, adultery laws and other laws could make sex outside of marriage illegal again. The Handmaids Tale could be in our future if we continue on this direction.

The RW Christian movement supports sexual predator Trump. It also supports a number of policies that police sex itself if you analyze their rhetoric and agenda. Women are only incubators in their lexicon. And there are many women who seem to support these ideas.

Sure I can be accused of hyperbole, however there seems to nothing bad we can imagine that the GOP will not do or is up to.
They will give this country up the the radical religious right to stay in power.

One has to look at what going on in the wings and behind closed doors.

I don't know about the numbers of women who support those ideas. And, we've got the Roe v. Wade decision and the earlier Griswold v. Connecticut decision.


This is stare decisus.
