  The right has already declared that they want to go after birth control as well. They see it as "abortion" and "murder" even if it's preventing conception. 
  This really shows how their "life begins at conception" belief isn't honest. If life began at conception, then stopping conception wouldn't be murder. You can't kill someone who doesn't exist yet.
  Their real end goal isn't "protect all life." If it was, they'd support affordable maternity care and universal healthcare. The real goal is "control all women and enforce our religious beliefs on others."
context: Not surprised they tried to do this, but this won’t make many people happy. Maybe just maybe this might just be enough to really turn the tide. People really need to stop voting for others who think they not only know what’s best for you but who are willing to make sure you have no choice and any freedom.
  Republicans are just plain good old fashion Fascists which have to be rejected at all levels of government. >
  
  I've given up on our republican voters. So many of them vote for what they don't believe in without even spending any amount of time to see that their party that's making their life more miserable. Their brain is basically wired to Republican good Democrat bad and that's as far as the thought process goes. >
  
  A great reddit post that explains this. >
  
  Texas is governed with scientific ignorance  and religious bigotry, misogyny  and homophobia. >
  
  Texas is ruled by the Church of the Confederacy. >
  
  If this were really to go through, I think you'll see the delegitimization of the federal courts (including the supreme court) and states that will not recognize their decisions. >
  
  That’s part of their plan. >
  
  Why? >
  
  Before the fall of Roe, medication abortions accounted for 54% of all abortions. I can't find data yet for after (as it has only been a little over 6 months), but I feel confident that number is considerably higher now.
  While surgical abortions will still be available in some states, this will increase demand on already overloaded clinics to the point that they will be functionally unavailable. This decision will rapidly accelerate the number of women dying, and we will see an explosion of poverty, crime, child abuse and homelessness as more people unable to afford children are forced to have them. >
  
  They know what the results will be. That’s what the Republicans want. >
  
  Yup, that's why they are being slow pokes about releasing the maternal death rate data post abortion ban in TX.  They know the numbers are damning. >
  
  Before too long a Trump appointed Texas or Florida judge will take all forms of birth control off the market.
