With this lesson in mind, pro-choice Democrats need to understand this: Contraception coverage is next. Make no mistake. Now they have a precedent of banning insurance companies from covering abortion, but this will not, of course, stop women from fucking. So contraception is next. And if you doubt me, remember what happened when the Democrats tried to include contraception access expansion in the stimulus bill. There was a full-blown sex panic, the fear that those Other Women would be fucking. They will try to harness that energy, and this precedent, all to force your insurance company to stop covering your pill, your IUD, and possibly any gynecological care associated with them. That Pap smear that you get before your prescription is refilled? Under anti-choice reasoning, prepare to hear that described as “abortion”.
Marriage, which once had seemed as undesirably permanent as a tattoo, now seemed to be the one, clear hope for my coming out of my longing.
