If birth control is for slutty ladies, how the hell do we interpret birth control for men?

"Roe v. Wade was decided while I was still in school. Planned Parenthood was embraced by both parties. Contraception was on its way to being used by 99 percent of American women. I thought reproductive rights was a settled issue."

"We have a unique reproductive function, and in order to control the number of workers, the number of soldiers, what race they are, what class they are, who they belong to and systems of marriage or legitimacy - patriarchy was born. And the definition of patriarchy is to control women’s bodies."

House hearing on the birth control coverage requirement…what’s missing?

Women.

The anti-birth control lawmakers who want to give employers the power to deny women coverage for contraception don’t want to hear from women or from anyone who disagrees with them. In fact, they turned away a young woman from Georgetown University who had been invited by Democrats on the committee to testify about the role birth control plays in women’s health. According to lawmakers determined to turn back the clock on women’s health, she is not “qualified” to discuss the issue.

Tell Congress enough is enough: back off on birth control now.

TRIGGER WARNING:

“[I] wouldn’t make exceptions [for abortion in the case of rape and incest]. What I would try to do is create a program that would enable women in those circumstances to have support and help them through whatever process they needed both in terms of counseling and in terms of if they wanted to give up the baby for adoption.”

-Newt Gingrich

“[A child conceived through rape is a] gift of human life. [Rape victims should] accept what God [has given them].”
