"is it so far-fetched to believe they would try to ban birth control?" Yes, it is extremely far-fetched. Abortion and birth control aren't remotely comparable.
Where do you get your information? We are talking about the RIGHT to something, and the hard-right zealots are to the point that birth control is the next logical step. Look at Holy Lobby, I mean, Hobby Lobby - if an employee is lucky enough to get health benefits, the company's responsibility to include birth control is specifically exempted. That's right, even an unfertilized egg is not allowed "protection" from marauding sperm - that would be tantamount to the same evil as abortion itself.
Do you know what can prevent abortion?
Birth Control. Logic has nothing to do with these people.
Do you know what helps prevent abortion?
The promise of a safety net to make sure that after this "oh-so-precious life
has been saved", the child does not spiral into poverty, poor health, or a
bleak life - nor does the mother, who may have had no options.
And yet, I know a bunch of Conservative Republicans (Catholic) that went out and put their Daughters on Birth Control the minute they were Seniors in HS or went College. I don't think everyone feels that Birth Control is verbotten. Maybe the Hard Right Evangelicals.

Do you know what else prevents abortion?
Vasectomies - check it out and tell your friends.
Hobby Lobby illustrates why health insurance should attached to the insured and be fully portable, not attach to the employer.
Vasectomies are a simple, fully reversible procedure for male birth control.
Voluntary abstinence also 100% prevents abortion, but not a viable public policy because of human nature. See the failure of Abstinence Only programs.
