The efforts by Republicans and the media to ridicule family planning help for low income women proves what a lie any "common ground" is between the pro-choice movement and the conservative forced birth lobby. All the big talk - mostly by men - about how pregnancy prevention is a place where the two sides can come together in agreement has been shown to be complete bullshit. As most reproductive justice advocates already knew. This is what many Obama crticis and Clinton supporters tried to point out over and over during the primaries when we were all being told to shut the fuck up and think of the party/think of Roe.
Thank god Roe is safe because some women are gonna need it if they can't afford birth control! Oh wait, they can't afford or get access to abortion, either. Well, I'm sure the Republicans and Democrats will at least help them get pre-natal care, right? If not, we can all agree on the common ground that women should just not have sex unless they are middle class or wealthy. Change you can believe in.
