Does the Supreme Court's ruling affect the right to birth control?

Recent rulings by the Supreme Court have made the right to birth control and abortion ambiguous for people.
All 50 states offer their citizens the right to birth control through Plan B, birth control pills, and intrauterine devices (IUDs). But the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade by Dobbs v. Jackson by the Supreme Court has led to some concern over how long this right will remain protected.
If you keep voting for Republicans they're going to keep trying to ban abortion and yes, birth control. And they're going to keep making it harder to vote so you can't punish them for it. Wake up and stop electing these theocratic fascists. #getwoke #staywoke https://t.co/RJXcNXISLp

Until 1965, there was not much emphasis on the right to birth control and it was even banned in many states like Connecticut. But Griswold v. Connecticut in 1965 led to a change, where a ban on contraception was considered to be a violation of a married couple's right to privacy.

So Matthew Kacsmaryk wants to ban birth control because he's a 'religious christian'. This isn't a christian country sir, and religion has NO place in public policy. #birthcontrol #rightwingnuts

Nicholas Creel, a professor at Georgia College & State University and a specialist in Constitutional law, said "The Court in Dobbs established that any right not specifically spoken to in the Constitution needs to be deeply rooted in our history and tradition for the Constitution to guard it. Given their logic, I am exceptionally concerned that Griswold, along with several other cases expanding the right to privacy, is now on track to be stripped of Constitutional protection at the federal level."
The LEFT keeps saying Republicans want to ban contraception. Kamala referred to that today. 🤦‍♀️
Just to be clear, NO ONE is calling for a ban on birth control. NO ONE! Not a single Republican is. Zero.
But the Left keeps saying it…because they LIE.

Will the Supreme Court ban birth control?
Even though no state has banned contraception yet, the recent ruling has made the status of this right a bit shaky. The right to contraception and adoption already comes under frequent scrutiny by religious organizations.

FFS…don't raise wages, ban abortion, make birth control difficult to get and then punish them for struggling to care for kids. https://t.co/8YOpFeL7Lo

In such circumstances, it is necessary for the right to gain political support. Negative foreshadowing of these rights will only increase their already stigmatized nature.
Just so folks know where I stand! I am not anti-abortion. But, I don't agree with using abortion as a form of birth control. I do believe some limitations should be placed upon it. But, I don't believe in an out right ban!

Banning contraception also puts another right in jeopardy- the right to privacy. This right already has a deep history and tradition in the constitution. Thus, it would be paradoxical to ensure the right to privacy by banning contraceptives.

Creel expects that there is a tendency among states to try to ban or restrict access to contraceptives. They might also ban a select few kinds of contraceptives only.
