Remember the old days of “settled law”? Remember when conventional wisdom complacently assured us that while abortion rights were systematically being chipped away, there was no possible way Republicans or the Supreme Court actually would overturn Roe v.

Well buckle up, because now they’re coming for birth control, just as Justice Clarence Thomas instructed in his concurrence in the decision that struck down abortion rights. The House Republicans’ funding bill for the Labor and Health and Human Services departments completely eliminates all of the funding for clinics in the five-decades-old Title X Family Planning Program—the program that provides free and subsidized contraception and health care for millions of low-income Americans.
