This is completely true. If people have the option to decide WHEN to have children it changes EVERYTHING we are capable of doing in the world. And that scares the shit out of republicans because it means old, white, cis-men aren’t going to have as much power as they used to. That’s why republicans don’t like people of color and would rather ignore systemic racism than try to fix it.

I hate to do it, but I have to play devil’s advocate here. Please understand, I am totally not defending the position of these Republican candidates, simply pointing out a hole in the way we speak about these issues.
I guarantee any ‘conservative’ person who reads this argument is going to say: “It wouldn’t take away the ability to decide when and if to get pregnant, because you shouldn’t have sex unless you are trying to get pregnant.” Which really does make this argument about people wanting to have sex for fun without the worry of pregnancy. I’m all about having sex for pleasure, but I hope everyone understands why this argument doesn’t work.
