  That’s just Biden’s liberal FDA changing the definition of abortion.   -Some Republican somewhere.
context: Yeah. The SC doesn’t care, it’ll be banned or “up to the states bs” >
  
  Having medical decisions in the hands of 9 unchecked individuals without any medical knowledge or training is grossly irresponsible. Our country is doomed unless we do something about this. >
  
  It’s about forcing their morality on the majority because they can. >
  
  Their "morality" is that sex should be shameful and risky for women. >
  
  That's just the first step. Once women stop having sex and keep to themselves, the American right will remove their capability of independence (employment, education, bank accounts, the vote, etc.) so they're forced to marry off, which they're currently trying to do by taking away workers' rights broadly and any kind of oversight regarding the wage gap and employer discrimination. They'll also punish childless marriages, which they're currently trying to do with sexless marriage.  
  So yes, Republicans are pure fucking evil. >
  
  What about sexless marriage? What? >
  
  Yeah, it's bad. It's targeting asexual marriages and possibly same-sex marriage (since sex, to them, is defined as vaginal intercourse), but it could easily be geared toward wives that won't have sex on demand. Expect marital rape to be effectively de-criminalized to make this work because those two laws would conflict with each other.  
  This, combined with a contraception and abortion ban, forces married women to get pregnant or they could be prosecuted by the state. >
  
  Or people with spinal injury or severe ED or vagimimus (sp). Jesus fucking Christ. >
  
  You can expect that such a big fuss will be brought up over medical exemptions that Republicans will feign mercy and grant them, but only if people stop complaining about marital rape not being a crime anymore.  
  American politics, aren't they grand? >
  
  Plan B works by preventing ovulation. No egg means no baby. Unless life begins at the spooge - in which case I've committed a lifetime of genocides. >
  
  Yea technically genocide since they're all the same ethnicity.   Filicide has a nice ring to it >
  
  Same way a condom is abortion. >
  
  Don't give them any ideas. >
  
  That's why they are coming after porn to stop all the murder by masterbation. >
  
  Jokes on them, I have a great imagination. >
  
  Suddenly Sears is back in business >
  
  That bra section getting my attention again. >
  
  I remember as a teenager looking at the bra and underwear section and one of the underwear models you could see tits. No bra on and the photo wasn't cropped enough. >
  
  I actually remember that too. Do you remember the Ivory soap commercial where you could kind of see tits too? >
  
  Plan B prevents you from getting knocked up. It can’t be abortion if you aren’t pregnant. >
  
  Next thing you know they’re going to be banning condoms. Don’t want STDs or pregnancy? Don’t be “sinning”! >
  
  …they’re already talking about doing that >
  
  The people rounding zygotes up to fully-formed humans have no issue with rounding birth control up to abortion. >
  
  I want them to round it so that male masturbation is an abortion so at least these evangelical men can make their own lives hell >
  
  In some conservative religions it is seen as a sin. Mormonism, for example, considers masturbation as one of the greatest sins you can commit. Right up there with wearing sleeveless shirts or drinking coffee, just below murder or leaving the Mormon religion.
  No /s. >
  
  Mormon's are weird. >
  
  Ime they are no weirder than any other religious people.
  They got their quirks and can be good or bad, but if you dont antagonise them thry are chill >
  
  They actually want to ban the ingredient in plan B - 
  It’s also the main ingredient in The Pill. 
  They want to ban birth control. >
  
  They believe sex should be shameful and risky for women, and will do anything they can think of to make it more so. >
  
  What about the men involved in all this? Or have they thought that far yet? How are things going to end up when we have lots of angry men who have to pay child support? >
  
  Men won’t be required to pay child support anymore if they don’t want to, but women will have to marry their rapists, especially if the “woman” in question is a prepubescent child. I honestly cannot imagine that the ranks of incels and plain old misogynists the right wing courts would ever have any consequence for men, unless they were harming a rich person. >
  
  This is correct. 
  Parental child support started in 1950.  They have made it clear which decade they want to go back to. 
  The Catholics have the Supreme Court. 
  Catholics don’t believe in divorce either. >
  
  The only thing the damn church cares about is money and power. >
  
  And men’s rights >
  
  But dont they know that a fetus has a heartbeat four weeks before conception?! >
  
  Lol...before conception there are just two horny people! >
  
  Don't forget the twinkle in their eyes. >
  
  What does Jude Law have to do with this? >
  
  He’s the heart beat, of course! >
  
  It's telling that this "Health" article winds up on a politics subreddit.  It belongs here, I think.  But it shouldn't belong here, if that makes sense. >
  
  I mean let’s be honest, 30% of this country thinks non white non cis males existing is political. So of course this would be. >
  
  The fda knows what’s going on. They know the republicans are coming after birth control. >
  
  There's a lot of misinformation regarding Plan B. Not just from those who oppose it, but also those who wish to use it. 
  On this site I see post after post from young ladies who think they can take this after they've missed their period. No. It doesn't work that way. 
  The only thing that would really work would be some kind of public sex education, but that's never going to happen in the states. Instead we get this weird dichotomy in which sex is somehow sacred and only for traditionally married folks but also you're a prude and no one will want you if you don't. 
  I hate it here >
  
  Plan B is something you take right after sex like the next morning right? Missing a period would be to late I thought that was the whole thing it's the "morning after pill" >
  
  It’s supposed to be taken within 72 hours, but, like others have said, there’s a lot of misinformation, lies and straight up disinformation out there to convince people it’s either ineffective or they can take it whenever. >
  
  Call it the morning after pill instead? >
  
  Plan B is often referred to as the morning after pill, but it can be taken up to 72 hours after. 
  Comprehensive mandatory sex education would solve a lot of the issues regarding contraceptives. >
  
  And parents will just ask to not have their kids take that class or homeschool them that year. You can fix stupid, but you can't fix the unwilling to learn. >
  
  I mean this is what they've been saying since they authorized Plan B OTC. It's an emergency contraceptive. >
  
  This discussion should have been over 20 years ago. I remember listening to Loveline in the late 90s and early 2000s back when the drug was becoming widely available, and Dr. Drew would never miss an opportunity to inform people about it and reassure all the religious girls that it's absolutely not an abortion pill. 
  I have no idea how this discussion is still happening over two decades later. >
  
  It doesn't matter.  The deviant neo puritans who have waged jihad on sanity don't care what it is or what it does.  They only know their ayatollahs say it must be banished.  These are violent, stupid people who only want to see chaos and suffering.  They will continue their war. >
  
  It’s not going to mean shit for women as babymaker machine crowd. For them life doesn’t even begin at conception, women are apparently inherently with child all the time, because that’s the only reason they exist. >
  
  Women are already being denied necessary healthcare that might harm a fetus. You’re even more correct than you think. >
  
  Won't stop GOP from trying to ban them. >
  
  It’s never been about the baby. It’s about punishing women. >
  
  It shouldn’t even fucking matter. 
  Keep rosaries out of ovaries. 
  Religion out of state. >
  
  The only problem is most Christians don't understand or believe in science >
  
  They cherry pick science. They'll deny basic psychology or vaccines. Oh but the second they hear about someone being trans, it's unnatural and goes against science!
  Excuse me while I smack my head against a wall repeatedly. >
  
  Wow this means nothing to traitor Republicans. They want to ban birth control. They will ban everything that is a matter of personal freedom. If a company can't do/use it, it doesn't need to exist in their book. >
  
  What do facts matter for evangelical politics. They still will and currently trying to make anything illegal. >
  
  They don't give a shit. They don't say it out loud (most of the time) but they're against all contraception to begin with. >
  
  The religious right literally considers birth control that entirely prevents ovulation to be an abortifacient.   
  Silly things like facts and reality aren't going to affect their beliefs. >
  
  Every sperm is sacred. >
  
  The people who want to ban it don't care. They want unwanted pregnancy to be a punishment on women for having sex. >
  
  Do people with real faith need to use the government to force their religion on strangers? 
  Seems more like a combination of fragile egos and misery loving company. >
  
  Of course they’re not. It’s to insure the egg cannot even attach to start fertilization. Abortion is the issue after that moment. >
  
  I hate the fact that Roe V Wade had to be overturned before so many government agencies were willing to get their asses straight.
  I hate even more that it is very much a case of too little too late because great parts of our government are in the hands of complete nutjobs. >
  
  Can we all just agree that anybody who thinks a morning after pill is an abortion is a lunatic not worth responding to. >
  
  You’re absolutely right. Of course, 6 of those lunatics happen to have infested your Supreme Court, and have made it very clear that they intend to cause as much damage as they possibly can. >
  
  Just bring all your unwanted children to the Supreme Court of the United States 1 First Street, NE Washington, DC 20543 >
  
  I’m sick of religious bigots. >
  
  How dare the FDA approves medication that will help women ! >
  
  But the people who are against abortion and plan B pills are kind of fact-resistant. >
  
  And who cares if they are?  Stop prioritizing a clump of cells over a living breathing person. >
  
  Good, since it’s not an abortion pill. >
  
  Right. “But she could be pregnant so taking the pill is the same as getting an abortion.” Talk about a slippery slope. >
  
  If the woman is pregnant it does nothing. >
  
  Schrödinger’s pregnancy pills has a better ring to it >
  
  I like quantum physics and quantum mechanics
  Take my up vote >
  
  I live in a state where abortion is legal, but I still had to drive over an hour to find a pharmacy that carries it. Many of them aren't selling it for "moral" reasons. >
  
  Like the right cares about facts they didn’t make up themselves… >
  
  So many people are so ignorant and it amazes me. We all have fucking supercomputers with centuries of knowledge at our fingertips >
  
  That's true but I'd wager they'd also find knee surgery disgusting, why aren't they trying to make that illegal? >
  
  Better question: why don’t they find mass murder and dead school children disgusting? >
  
  I see facts don't care about evangelical feelings ☝️☝️☝️ >
  
  I’m sad as a Canadian to think, you American taxpayers have to actually pay the FDA to waste their time to clarify this in writing. 
  Money and resources that should be put to writing up a way more believable story like “ Lindsey Graham swallows live babies in the form of raw semen. Jesus will never forgive the millions of lives lost in the process.” >
  
  If this wasn’t clarified, it would have been illegal in some states. This is one of the very few things the FDA did that wasn’t a waste of taxpayers’ money. However, if a list was to be made as to how taxpayers have funded the utter idiocy of the FDA’s spending over the years, the length of that list would be obscenely cartoonish. >
  
  Smash cut to evangelicals and right wingers embracing Christian Science and banning all medicine. >
  
  Doesn’t matter Republicans are coming for it anyway. And regular contraception too >
  
  Gilead is in the Supreme Court.   They will decide that. >
  
  Supreme Court: hold my beer (except kavanaugh), contraceptive pill is anticonstitutionnel. >
  
  Only a fucking idiot would not understand that Plan B is not an abortion pill. >
  
  As if facts ever mattered. >
  
  Stop arguing with prolifers about whether something is abortion or not or whether something is murder or not. It literally doesn’t matter. It’s the woman’s choice whether she wants to keep an organism inside her, end of story. 
  “Don’t have sex if you don’t want kids” say the people who probably never got laid. >
  
  It does matter, these are just birth control pills. You do not get pregnant. >
  
  It matters in a conversation about whether it aborts pregnancy or not. it does not matter in a conversation about whether abortion is okay or not >
  
  Do you understand these are just birth control pills? >
  
  Mate, you and me are having two different conversations. You keep saying they’re just birth control pills and don’t abort anything because they prevent ovulation from happening in the first place. I get it. My point is, there is no need to say 
  
  the pills only prevent ovulation so they’re not ending a pregnancy 
  
  In a debate between pro-life and pro choice people where instead, pro choice people should be saying 
  
  fuck you, it doesn’t matter whether it ends a pregnancy or not, because ITS THE WOMANS CHOICE. 
  
  Are we on the same page now? >
  
  Those idiots still need to be informed because they are trying to ban this emergency birth control. >
  
  Wow someone is showing off their highschool health class education >
  
  Yeah problem is the GOP keeps coming after Plan B as “an abortion pill.”
  But then again the GOP has flippantly ignored science, just as us healthcare “heroes” during COVID… >
  
  I can't wait for Republicans to sue the FDA and for the supreme court to say they are abortion pills.
  /s
  On a serious note, I can't wait to leave this shithole. >
  
  As if republicans have ever listened to the fda >
  
  Finally, science wins on this >
  
  Yep they don’t always work. Unlike the actual abortion pill. >
  
  Good thing most sane people stopped having sex. Our next generation will be birthed completely by wolverines. >
  
  Facts. >
  
  You just described the first two episodes of Handmaid's Tale. >
  
  Look at it like a late condom. >
  
  Captain obvious to anyone who knows anything or cares to read even a little about the mysterious female reproductive system. >
  
  If they are they'd be murder pills according to the forced birthing lot >
  
  Get ready for the hard right to say this is abortion >
  
  It’s absolutely not an abortion pill. I took a plan b and then had a baby. >
  
  Just gonna remind everyone who's getting angry at the GOP's stance on this that Americans have had 40 years to give enough of a shit to pay attention to the Supreme Court. 
  Perhaps it will take the Court attempting to ban contraception for people to wake up. >
  
  We can still be angry at the GOP while also acknowledging that we've dropped the ball on keeping the Supreme Court from going rogue.
  It's not mutually exclusive. >
  
  Of course, never said it was
