ALT r/Conservative Why vote against HR 8373? (Birth Control Bill) Okay, my ignorance is showing. I'm looking at HR 8373 and having a difficult time reading it because all I hear in my head is Nancy Pelosi's shrill voice as if she were reading the dang thing. https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/8373/text?r=1&s=1 Why would anyone vote against the bill? I've been a conservative my entire life, and even I would support something that ensure that a contraceptive was available to anyone who wanted "actual" family planning services. Are people concerned that Abortions would be considered contraceptives? Is it a gateway drung kind of situation? I've got to be missing something here. Insight and thoughts?
ALT Replies from conservatives: Birth control has literally prevented more abortions than any other entity hands down. It also prevents a lot of STDs. Maybe that is the reason?
ALT Replies from conservatives: Same here OP, I assumed it had a bunch of unrelated crap thrown in, so I read it and do not see anything objectionable. A 100% no vote by Rs is idiotic. I appreciate the answers given and the time spent to provide detailed information. Some of which I wasn't aware of. Kudos to this sub in general for adult respectful conversations/debates.
ALT Replies from conservatives: It's not even a "government will pay" bill. Who is voting against this? I really want to know. I will be watching my Republican congressman regarding this. My mother and I are conservative and fully support it. We believe birth control prevents abortions. It’s a good thing 👍
