Kavanaugh just called birth control "abortion-inducing drugs" in reference to Burwell v Hobby Lobby.

The crux of the dispute in Hobby Lobby was against emergency contraception like Plan B.

Plan B does not cause abortions. It prevents fertilization.

.... to the home of Justice Kavanaugh so he can collect it and bury it at,.. I don't know where,.. maybe the Vatican.

All tampons, every Kotex pad, each used lamb skin or latex prophylactic and every wadded up sticky Kleenex tissue, should be mailed to Justice Kavanaugh's home or Supreme Court Office so he can sort out the juices of human reproduction and be assured they are not wasted or haphazardly cast upon the soil of the earth, as his God intended.

Or better yet why doesn't this Theocratic Nazi keep his nose out of and stop sniffing people's underwear, trying to keep track of their personal and private business ?

Honest to Spaghetti Monster,.. these extreme religious Right Wingers are more like perverts than thoughtful governmental authorities or statesmen.

M.Y.O.B. Fascist Perverts !

- Temporarily stops the release of an egg from the ovary

- Prevents fertilization

- Prevents a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus

So, it is also an abortifactant in some instances.

Just sayin'.....
