HR 8373 and HR 8404 – Hair on Fire Over Dobbs Decision: No.

HR 8373 and HR 8404 – Hair on Fire Over Dobbs Decision: No. HR 8373 purports to guarantee the right to contraception and HR 8404 to guarantee the right to gay and interracial marriage. There is not a single state in the country that bans contraception or interracial marriage and no one in their right mind would support such bans. This is a reaction to the Dobbs decision that overturned the Roe decision but also explicitly stated that it did not extend beyond abortion. HR 8373 creates a broad definition of contraception that could include sterilization and chemical abortions and forces health clinics to provide them against their religious convictions. With respect to HR 8404, I believe marriage is an institution that exists in nature and is specific to the creation and protection of new life.
