Don't hold your breath. The "pro-life" movement has never been about fighting abortion. It's about punishing and controlling female sexuality, and about fighting feminism by ensuring that as many women as possible spend their lives barefoot, pregnant, and dependent on men. So I guarantee you that LARCs are a nonstarter. Look at Colorado: A D Governor instituted free LARCs for teenagers, and they worked. The pregnancy rate dropped dramatically and so did the abortion rate. What did the next, GOP "pro-life" Governor do? He canceled the program.

They aren’t about ending abortion. They’re about controlling women’s reproductive lives and Dobbs was a means to that end.

Your entire post, Will, is directed at women. Where is men’s responsibility for birth control?
