After overturning abortion protections, is contraception next for the Supreme Court? A couple of years ago Gallup polled Americans about the moral acceptability of various issues and this is what they came up with:
A Pew poll taken a couple of years before this one came up with an even lower number: nationally, only 4% of the population opposed contraception on moral grounds.
I wish we had state-by-state polling for contraception, but given these national results I'll bet there's not a single state where more than 10% of the population opposes contraception in general. The number is certainly higher for emergency contraception, but oddly, I can't find any survey data about that.
There's no question that emergency contraception is controversial in the same states that oppose abortion, and this is something the Supreme Court will probably rule on eventually. But ordinary contraception? I doubt it's in any trouble. The Supreme Court might pretend that it doesn't care about public opinion, but they're not going to endanger access to something that's approved by 92% of the country. Even Sam Alito isn't that stupid.
OMG dude, how can you say the court cares about emergency contraception. They will end it and this will cause all kinds of harm.
