You cannot make this up: even as Mike Pence and Y’all Qaeda are clamoring to create a national abortion ban and going after contraception as the next phase of their War on Women, the actual Taliban have copied their ideas:

Taliban fighters have stopped the sale of contraceptives in two of Afghanistan’s main cities, claiming their use by women is a western conspiracy to control the Muslim population.

The Guardian has learned that the Taliban has been going door to door, threatening midwives and ordering pharmacies to clear their shelves of all birth control medicines and devices.

Republicans must feel so… seen.
