This is the future the Republican Party wants.
[Tweet from Gavin Newsom:'“Birth control really screws up female brains.” “Every single one of you needs to make sure your loved ones are not on birth control.” This is the future the @GOP are pushing.']
And before you think these comments represent an extreme element of the Republican Party, please remember that the speaker here spoke on the first night of the last Republican National Convention.
But he is not alone:
Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings:
[Tweet from Gavin Newsom:'Kavanaugh literally referred to birth control as an “abortion-inducing drug” in his confirmation hearing yesterday. This is where we are, folks.']
And then there is the Republican Party leader, Donald Trump — who reversed the Affordable Care Act mandate to cover birth control.
[Tweet from Gavin Newsom:'It’s been 45 yrs, yet Trump continues to attack a woman’s right to choose. He has: -Reversed the ACA mandate to cover birth control -Tried to defund Planned Parenthood -Appointed anti-choice judges...And that’s just the beginning. It’s appalling & wrong.']
A ruling upheld by the Supreme Court.
[Tweet from Washington Post:'Supreme Court says employers may opt out of Affordable Care Act’s birth control mandate over religious, moral objections']
Stakes are high.

🛟 Hi. Please don’t click away just yet. 🇺🇸
All across the country, rights are being rolled-back in real-time by Republicans with a zest for demonization. We are going to go on the road and on offense — in red states too — and take the fight to statehouses, local communities, and electoral battlegrounds to save our democracy.
If everyone reading this donated just $20, we could support every “Red State” party across the country and give Democrats a chance to win EVERYWHERE. If that sounds worth it and important to you, please donate $20 to the Campaign for Democracy today. Thank you.
