Why we picked it
2022: “Stop overreacting, they won’t overturn Roe.” They did. 2023: “Stop overreacting, they won't let women die rather than get an abortion.” They did. 2024: “Stop overreacting, they won't arrest women for miscarriages.” They did. 2025: “Stop overreacting, they won't turn women into incubators.” They did. 2026: “Stop overreacting, they won't attack mifepristone.” They did. Following the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022 Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote “In future cases we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including *Griswold* v. Connecticut (1965)”. This case established the constitutional right to contraception. “ Now: “Stop overreacting, they won't go after birth control.” They will. Let’s position this for what it is. After the fall of Roe v. Wade, the legal architecture did not stabilize—it exposed a trajectory. When a Supreme Court justice openly suggests revisiting the right to contraception, the pattern is no longer ambiguous
