Is Legalized Contraception in Danger?
<p>Remember when the <em>Dobbs</em> decision, the one that overturned <em>Roe v. Wade</em>, was handed down and it was <a href="https://medium.com/politically-speaking/clarence-thomas-wants-to-overturn-more-rights-cases-8ef61c3c1961" rel="noopener">Clarence Thomas’ concurrence that had me really worried</a>? Well, it looks like I wasn’t the only one who is worried.</p>
<p>You can file this one under “Stuff That is Going On That More People Should Know About.”</p>
<p>First, let’s briefly review Thomas’ concurrence. He said that since the <em>Dobbs</em> decision was based on the fact that there is no right to privacy spelled out in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">14th Amendment of the Constitution</a>, other decisions that were decided on the same basis should also be overturned.</p>
<p>He specifically mentioned three out of the four decisions that, in his view, should be overturned: legalized contraception, legalized gay sex, and legalized gay marriage. He left out legalized interracial marriage most likely because he is married to a woman of a different race.</p>
<p>Hypocrite much?</p>
<p>While we have all been fighting the good fight to keep abortion legal on a state-by-state basis, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/17/us/politics/birth-control-dobbs-clarence-thomas.html?smid=nytcore-android-share" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Democrats and reproductive rights advocates </a>have been doing the same for legalized contraception.</p>
<p>The reason that they see this as the next important issue is because the anti-abortion crew equates contraception to abortion. They say that IUDs and the morning after pill cause abortions by preventing a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus.</p>
