When you're warned that they're coming for birth control next, listen to them. They always tell you exactly what they are going to do next. The problem is, what the plan to do is so bonkers and freedom-crushing that we have difficulty believing it.
Birth control pills sometimes cause abortions by stopping embryos from implanting. They should be banned for that reason alone, without even getting into the massive societal harm they cause by discouraging fruitfulness and enabling widespread sexual immorality.
