Does Marjorie Taylor Greene Really Believe Plan B Is ‘Murdering Babies’ And Not Contraception?

Republicans have been battling two bills that finally passed in The House on Thursday, one that is meant to help LGBT-owned businesses, and a second that helps veterans receive contraceptive health care without copays, The Hill reports. During the proceedings, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, best know for her QAnon connections and harassing David Hogg, introduced some new batsh-t GOP talking points.

“Contraception stops a woman from becoming pregnant. The Plan B pill kills a baby in the womb once a woman is already pregnant,” she said. “Equal Access to Contraception for Veterans Act is not contraception, it’s providing with taxpayer dollars the ability for women to have an abortion.”

It is against the law for federal funds to be used for abortion health care. On the other hand, CONTRACEPTION IS NOT ABORTION. Though the Catholic church and Gun Girl disapprove, contraception prevents conception and probably prevents a whole lot of abortions, if that’s what you’re worried about. Greene isn’t really worried about all that though, she just wants attention and to spread misinformation.

On Twitter, Greene’s slimy attempts to take healthcare away from actual veterans was roundly criticized and helpfully corrected by many:

ONE LAST TIME FOR THE CHEAP SEATS IN THE BACK (looking at you, @mtgreenee): PLAN B DOES NOT PRODUCE AN ABORTION-IT STOPS THE SPERM FROM ATTACHING TO THE OVUM AND PREVENTS CONCEPTION FROM THE START. NO FETUS IS INVOLVED. IT IS BIRTH CONTROL. pic.twitter.com/WPsZODN2xB

Republican Governors:

Buildings and power grids are literally crumbling and GOP men won’t get vaccinated but let’s focus all our time and energy on Plan B and lady’s parts, shall we?!

Plan B is actually the literal opposite of an abortion-inducing drug. It prevents pregnancy so we don’t have to get abortions. Also the clitoris is real and the female orgasm exists. Thanks for coming to my sex lecture.

Plan B does NOT induce abortion. The egg hasn’t even been fertilized at this point!

Marjorie Taylor Greene, if you weren’t so repugnant and fascist, maybe you would have your own own sex life instead of obsessing over ours!

Plan B is contraception

Plan B does not cause abortion

Plan B doesn’t work if you’re pregnant

Marjorie Taylor Greene can go fuck herself

Let’s be clear about 3 things:

1) Birth control is not abortion.

2) Plan B is not abortion.

3) Women in the military deserve access to comprehensive reproductive health care. https://t.co/d4AdvlgFy2

Evidently not. Plan B kills no fetus, let alone baby. It stops the sperm from entering the ovum. That’s spelled
C-O-N-T-R-A-C-E-P-T-I-O-N. https://t.co/jFoXrFjsup

Plan B PREVENTS pregnancy. It does NOT kill a baby in the womb.

It’s amazing how the Republican Party cannot seem to comprehend science. Do not believe this propagated load of BS.

She literally could have Googled this to see that Plan B prevents ovulation and therefore conception. No conception, no abortion necessary. Plan B causes no more abortions than using condoms does. My new saying is going to be “Explain it to me like I’m Marjorie Taylor Greene.” https://t.co/CRvQoKbix3

Do you think Greene will actually learn something from this? I’m guessing not, but maybe a whole lot more people now know how Plan B works at least.
