these supreme court cases absolutely did the decisions and outcomes affect
%uh all of our lives but they are used politically to send a message about whose life we're gonna
value whose health we're gonna value
%uh and there's no question that contra ending access to contraception has been on
the agenda for years of the anti-abortion movement
they've recently had
a very large meeting saying called something like contraception is not the answer there's
no question that at the legislative task force hearings in south dakota repeatedly %uh
that task force talked about emergency contraception and birth control pills as forms of abortions
so once you redefine those they'll be outlawed too 0:00:42.360,0:00:48.010 by the existing law it's a very short step to ending access to contraception
and i do think that people don't realize that this has long been part of the agenda and
there's great hope
in thinking in there's great hope in the fact that once people really understand
how far that movement wants to go including depriving people of access to contraception and information
about contraception i think there will be finally an outcry against this kind of intrusion
on personal and family decision making
