Hillary Clinton is warning about the legality of birth control in the wake of a decision by the Alabama Supreme Court that found frozen embryos created through fertility treatments are children under state law.

“They came for abortion first. Now it’s [in vitro fertilization], and next it’ll be birth control,” the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and secretary of State said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“The extreme right won’t stop trying to exert government control over our most sacred personal decisions until we codify reproductive freedom as a human right,” Clinton added.

    What is next after they ban birth control? Forcing women to get pregnancy tests every month in order to detect miscarriage or abortion later on?

      Probably prison (or the death penalty ) for women who miscarry, I remember reading some states Alabama tried passing legislation so when a women has a miscarriage the authorities investigate her for murder.
