There is concern that if SCOTUS over turns Roe, it could be extended to also outlawing birth control.

You claimed that contraception would become illegal. I said no, because people could order contraceptives. Now you want to say they can't order abortion pills.
They can order abortion pills too.
I'm just wondering where your line is when it comes to advising women to break the law.
They can order abortion pills too.

This is the first time in SCOTUS history where a draft was leaked. An law enforcement investigation into how it was leaked and who leaked it is underway.
My guess it was done by one of the liberal justices or the chief justice.
If its a justice then they need to be impeached / removed from the bench.

Already there is evidence that Alito himself leaked it.

Abortion pills are not contraceptives.
You really don't know the difference between an abortion and contraception? Really?

Speculations emerging about why (D)s arranged the leak on purpose. Now States like CA can offer free(er) abortions to out of state customers at taxpayer expense and NGOs like PP make millions and can donate to specific election campaigns !!! 🥥

I've been trying to find a direct answer, but so far no luck. Can you happen to cite the specific criminal statute that would operate in this situation?
It would be a monumental irony if this one branch of government had no such protection.
Whoever, being an officer or employee of the United States or of any department or agency thereof, any person acting on behalf of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, or agent of the Department of Justice as defined in the Antitrust Civil Process Act (15 U.S.C. 1311–1314), or being an employee of a private sector organization who is or was assigned to an agency under chapter 37 of title 5, publishes, divulges, discloses, or makes known in any manner or to any extent not authorized by law any information coming to him in the course of his employment or official duties or by reason of any examination or investigation made by, or return, report or record made to or filed with, such department or agency or officer or employee thereof, which information concerns or relates to the trade secrets, processes, operations, style of work, or apparatus, or to the identity, confidential statistical data, amount or source of any income, profits, losses, or expenditures of any person, firm, partnership, corporation, or association; or permits any income return or copy thereof or any book containing any abstract or particulars thereof to be seen or examined by any person except as provided by law; shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and shall be removed from office or employment.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 791; Pub. L. 96–349, § 7(b), Sept. 12, 1980, 94 Stat. 1158; Pub. L. 102–550, title XIII, § 1353, Oct. 28, 1992, 106 Stat. 3970; Pub. L. 104–294, title VI, § 601(a)(8), Oct. 11, 1996, 110 Stat. 3498; Pub. L. 107–347, title II, § 209(d)(2), Dec. 17, 2002, 116 Stat. 2930; Pub. L. 110–289, div. A, title I, § 1161(d), July 30, 2008, 122 Stat. 2780.)
A court of the United States shall have power to punish by fine or imprisonment, or both, at its discretion, such contempt of its authority, and none other, as—
(1) Misbehavior of any person in its presence or so near thereto as to obstruct the administration of justice;
(2) Misbehavior of any of its officers in their official transactions;
(3) Disobedience or resistance to its lawful writ, process, order, rule, decree, or command.
What exactly is “abortifacient” birth control?
Contraceptives are methods of birth control that place a physical barrier between sperm and egg, such as condoms and diaphragms. By contrast, abortifacients are hormonal-based methods of birth control that often cause early abortions. In 2015, about 7.4 million American women were using such methods.1 The principal method of abortifacient birth control is “the Pill,” which first became widely used in the late 1960s and helped fuel the Sexual Revolution.
As Donna Harrison has explained at NRO, an IUD’s manipulation of the hormone progesterone causes a woman’s body to reject any embryo that might be formed after ovulation, rather than wholly stopping ovulation from occurring.
Meanwhile, ella — if taken during or after ovulation, as opposed to just before, which is the only time it could prevent an egg from being released — often allows an embryo to be conceived even after ingestion of the drug and nearly always kills that embryo.
...
Plan B, like ella, often fails to prevent conception when it is taken outside a five-day window in a woman’s cycle (as it often is, because women use it as an emergency contraceptive regardless of where they are in their cycle). If the drug fails to prevent conception, it nearly always goes on to kill the embryo that has been conceived.

The party of diversity and inclusion has a habit of defining people as undeserving of society's benefits and protections.
Fetuses are not human beings in the same way that conservatives are not human beings in their eyes.
Take note. It's the bedrock upon which all genocides rest.
