It seems European politicians love making grand provocative statements just to later walk it back, is this some kind of fetish?

Wow, France. That should probably change shouldn’t it? Please, can we stop treating contraceptives ONLY as a pregnancy prevention? It helps so many people on so many levels live a better, more normal life without pain, depression etc. It SHOULD BE a major therapeutic interest.
Edit: I would also be interested in what other meds are/aren’t in this category if someone from France can enlighten me

So they want to acknowledge the existence of a state that has no fixed borders, no currency, no government, no representatives, no nothing, but somehow saving contraceptives with no “legal basis” is a problem. Got it.

>Last month, the US also incinerated nearly 500 metric tons of high-nutrition biscuits that had been meant to keep malnourished children in Afghanistan and Pakistan alive.
This last sentence just shows that “Pro-Life” was never really about protecting the life of the fetus — it was always about controlling women. If they truly were pro-life, they would, you know, focus on actually keeping children alive.

Maybe send in the Tax Officers for a supposed tax dodging thing, requisition everything « temporarily »… and the somehow the Condoms get « lost ».
Macron can then call Trump and make some sexist jokes about French men or some other thing that contains the word pussy and grab in it.
