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.

    That’s weird, because from my experience on Lemmy, leftists are far more hostile to me than I am to them.

      Your hostilities are committed at the ballot box. You vote against our interests. You refuse to compromise with us. You blame us when your garbage pro-corporate, strike blocking, genocide supporting candidates fail to get elected in the general.

        So you just remove the agency of everyone you disagree with and believe that makes you the victim?

          Hey if you want to respect my decision to vote for 3rd party or write in the general election and take responsibility for picking a loser candidate in the 2020 primaries when Biden loses in the 2024 general then I will absolutely respect your agency. But we both know that’s not what you’re after is it? You want the agency to vote for whoever you want in the primaries and then turn around and lecture people for not supporting your choice in the general.

          You like the control you have being a part of the majority voting bloc in the Democrat party, but you’re refusing to accept the responsibility that comes with it.

            I voted for Bernie in the primaries, worked for his campaign, and donated the maximum personal donation. How about you?

              I phone banked, canvassed and donated in the 2016 and 2020 primaries. I hated Joe Biden from the beginning but I voted for him in the 2020 general. He’s not compromised with leftists or progressives in any material manner so I won’t be voting for him again.

              I’m not going to apologize for calling out moderates for being uncompromising pieces of shit and voting for procorporate trash candidates in the primaries. And you shouldn’t waste your time sticking up for them.
