| >It's so ridiculously Orwellian (or should I say Atwoodian?) that I can't imagine anyone except in the most deranged countries is going to roll back access to birth control. My country is, apparently, one of the most deranged then. While all forms of contraception are currently legal across my country, it's harder to gain access to it in some places than it is in others: https://www.glamour.com/story/birth-control-laws However, some places in my backwater country have attempted (but not yet succeeded) to limit various forms of contraception, despite its legality[0] nationwide since 1965: https://stateline.org/2022/05/19/some-states-already-are-tar... And hundreds of elected representatives in the national government voted against[1] and finally blocked[2] nationwide legislation ensuring access to contraception. What's more, some members of our highest court have indicated that they'd like to revisit the issue[3] with an eye towards revoking such access. I wish I didn't live in such a backwards country. :( [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griswold_v._Connecticut [1] https://www.huffpost.com/entry/house-republicans-voted-again...
