#SCOTUS has already started eroding women's #BodilyAutonomy by revoking the right to #Abortion. A number of Republicans are already talking about revoking a woman's right to #BirthControl (and to vote).

The #GOP wants to return to the era when #women were the property of men, to be used for purposes of procreation, male pleasure and/or housekeeping, unable to control their own bodies or their own lives without male permission.

A number of #GOP candidates have stated they want to overturn the Griswold v Connecticut SCOTUS ruling.

Not only would this make it illegal for women to use birth control.

It would basically END the legal right to personal privacy for both women AND MEN.
