Hillary Clinton is warning about the legality of birth control in the wake of a decision by the Alabama Supreme Court that found frozen embryos created through fertility treatments are children under state law.

“They came for abortion first. Now it’s [in vitro fertilization], and next it’ll be birth control,” the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and secretary of State said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“The extreme right won’t stop trying to exert government control over our most sacred personal decisions until we codify reproductive freedom as a human right,” Clinton added.

    She was anti-gay for a long time. Her husband is the one who created “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.”

      I agree but to put it in context, basically everyone was anti-gay back then by today’s standards. DADT was considered a pro-gay move back then.

      Back then that was progressive policy. I was alive when California voted against gay marriage. These things change over time.
