There is a movement to rebrand them as "period pills", so rather than a discussion about terminating a pregnancy, it becomes a conversation about bringing back a late period without necessitating a pregnancy test.

The Invisibilia podcast covered this topic in a recent episode.

That's interesting because throughout history abortifacients had polite and coded language as medicine to restore the menses.

It's going to be even better if they allow abortion pills or plan B to be birth control itself.

They are just going to piss people off with these anti abortion laws. It's already pushed some states to be a bit more blue as it affects others it's going to get worse for them.

In countries were abortion is illegal, like mine, abortion is usually announced as treatment for menstrual delay.

The right won't care, they want to come for contraception next and anything related to birth control.
