The road to ban birth control could look a lot like the path to ban abortion. Thomas already called to kill Griswold

Screenshot: But as we witnessed in watching legal fights over abortion, something doesn't have to be banned for it to be completely inaccessible. And, in fact, making it less accessible is a stepping stone to removing protections and eventually making it illegal. Lawmakers enacted abortion restrictions to test the bounds of Roe v. Wade and eventually get it overturned. It took nearly 50 years and a judicial activism network, but it worked. When the Supreme Court overturned Roe, Justice Clarence Thomas put a target on the legal right to use contraception: He said he believed the precedent in the 1965 case Griswold v. Connecticut was equally wrong and should be overturned. (Thomas also called to overturn the constitutional rights to same-sex intimacy and same-sex marriage.) We don't know when we'll see a lawsuit challenging Griswold, but we know it's coming, and we know why. And in the short term, restrictions are on the horizon. Just remember they won't end there.
