…”sent us back 50 years.”
However, based on the behavior of the state legislatures that want to criminalize contraceptives, I’d go back further.
Based on the intense propaganda to redefine every medical necessity “down there” (such language) as an abortion, I would go further back in time. Every baby, stillbirth, and miscarriage my mother had was in the Baby Boom years, and I know that a D&C was a common treatment for a miscarriage back in those days, and not considered an illegal abortion.
Based on Texas’ bounty hunter laws for women trying to travel out of state for legal medical treatment — I look back to the Runaway Slave Acts.
Based on the desire of certain legislatures to criminalize the mailing of contraceptives and written info into their states, ditto Mifepristone, I look back to the Comstock Act — the abomination that got Margaret Sanger sent to prison.
Only 50 years back in time? Oh dear no.
