“Democrats block over-the-counter birth control! They want abortion, not choice!”
What You Say
FDA approved the first OTC birth control pill in 2023 with bipartisan support. Democrats expanded ACA contraceptive coverage while red states sue to restrict it. Conflating OTC access with abortion policy is a culture-war bait-and-switch — the same politicians banning IVF and threatening contraceptive coverage can't claim they're the pro-choice side on birth control.
The Stab
You can't be pro-OTC birth control and anti-ACA contraceptive mandates at once.
