I’m just enjoying the irony that the populations displaying the greatest Darwinian fitness are religious conservatives, whose fertility rate in the US is 2.5 vs 1.5 for everyone else.
I’d say “lol” but my comment would be flagged as too short.
ROTFL.
“Do States have the right to ban contraceptives?”
I don’t know of any states planning to do so, it would be a bad idea, but I can’t say with confidence that States don’t have the power.
Given the mandate claimed by he president to require free contraceptives regardless of any objections, constitutional or otherwise, that implies the power to deny access to contraceptives by the president changing their mind. Or change of president.
After all the power of government derives from the consent of the governed. The fewer people to govern, the less power for the government
So for the good of all those depending on the government, the government can demand that the governed start breeding with gusto.
No, states do not have the right to ban contraceptives. This issue was resolved by Griswold vs. Connecticut case in 1965.
Glenn Reynold’s description of this issue is precisely spot on. Refusal to subsidize something is not the same as banning it, not that liberal-left people understand the difference.
