Ok no offense but saying this is "voting to make contraceptives illegal" is Trump-era misinformation bullshit.

Conversely, I wouldn't at all be surprised if some of them WOULD vote for a "should contraception be illegal?" bill.

The bill is to protect access to contraceptives before SCOTUS rules against it being a right to have access to it federally and allows states to ban it on an individual basis

Voting against codifying a right is not the same thing as voting for something to be illegal.

If there's a bill that grants everyone the ability to punch their balls on a Thursday, and you vote against it, it doesn't mean you can't punch your balls today.

Probably, but it still doesn't mean they're voting for it to be illegal.

In a functioning democracy we need correct reporting or we get shit like Fox News and Trump.

The correct way to report this is that "Republicans vote against guaranteeing the right to access contraception."

This. Lets not split hairs. Its their current step in getting to the point where they can later make it illegal in whatever states they can, and eventually if they take enough branches of government, probably federally too.

Again, that should be clarified.
"Republicans open up the way for states to ban contraception" gets the same message across, but more accurately and, more importantly, in a way that people can still address. Just saying "Republicans vote for contraception to be illegal" shuts down any further discourse.

Looks like the counter argument was this bill was super rushed (first introduced Friday, first debated on Monday), the bill is too broad and protects contraceptives not approved by the FDA, and that the bill is unnecessary because no states are trying to ban contraceptives.

I don't think her "We nuked Japan but refused to nuke Germany" holds up as an example of racism.

Germany surrendered, wasn't about to be taken over by Russia and was surrounded by Allies/Russians. Japan was a seperate island that continued bloody high casuality warfare long after Germany surrendered.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not weighing in on whether the nukes were justified or not. But I don't for a second believe that the US would have hesitated in nuking white people.

I don't think I've even heard anyone claim that before. Most of the fear about nukes for decades was Russia and the US nuking each other right up until the mid 2000s.

not approved by the FDA? the bill says:

CONTRACEPTIVE .The term contraceptive means any device or medication used to prevent pregnancy, whether specifically used to prevent pregnancy or for other health needs, including all contraceptive products approved, cleared, or granted de novo classification by the Food and Drug Administration, such as oral contraceptives, long-acting reversible contraceptives, emergency contraceptives, internal and external condoms, injectables, vaginal barrier methods, transdermal patches, and vaginal rings, or other contraceptives

I see the point of calling it out for jumping the gun on the actual thing being voted for, but in light of the disingenuous track record of the people involved, it's a weird angle to take.

It's like being upset at people claiming James's vote for the right to defend himself was actually about having an excuse to assault people, when the very first thing he did afterward was punch random strangers.
