The Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade in June 2022 has led Democrats to victory in elections since. For 2024, the right to contraception and In vitro fertilization seems to be the new scare tactic to get Americans to vote blue in the polls. Lead Senate republicans are going on a talk show circuit tour to try and change the narrative and push for pro IVF bills. This new legislation comes after Alabama’s top court ruled frozen embryos are legally children and the destruction of these embryos constitutes a crime under the state’s “wrongful death of a minor” law. On this episode of 360 View, Scotti Nell Hughes explores why the whole reason contraception is such a hot topic is because hookup culture and getting married later in life is becoming a societal norm.
