GOP's War on Women's Health
From The Ed Show this Tuesday, the war on women's health continues:
Republicans are still trying to silence Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown student who appeared on The Ed Show last week. First, they wouldn't let her or any other woman testify at a birth control hearing. Now Democrats are holding their own hearing with Fluke, but refuse to televise it!
Terry O’Neill, President of the National Organization for Women, Lizz Winstead, comedian and co-creator of The Daily Show and Krystal Ball, Democratic strategist and former candidate for U.S. Congress, comment on the on-going Republican war on women’s health.




The whole contraception noise and posturing by the Rethuglicans was designed to cover up these outrageous bills .. and the MSM and liberal blogs were buying into the Rethugs' noise and posturing by giving it air instead of looking behind the curtain and asking why the R's were raising such a stink about a popular contraception plan that was a done deal.
Good on Ed and his guests for bringing this out into the open.
It is outrageous.
The Abortion Wars: The Real People Behind the Restrictions

When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?
Not soon enough!
That's merely collateral damage. They don't give a damn about your health. It's more a war about control and forcing a very narrow personal view on everyone else. Most of the policies the right advocates will inevitably bring more of the very things they want to stop. Anybody think criminalizing abortion will stop abortions? Yet their health care policies will encourage abortions.

Here's an update on Virginia's proposed law mandating an ultrasound examination before an abortion.
Ultrasound bill may be revised, sources say
The legislators, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the procedure could be made optional.

to pay for condoms, IUDs, the pill and other forms of contraceptives.
I'm 45. In my adult life I've NEVER had a health insurance plan that paid for birth control.
Since I started fucking about 25-30 years ago I've paid for my own condoms. My girlfriends paid for their pills or their NuvaRings. And when we didn't have birth control we had oral sex or hand sex to get us off. We gladly paid for our birth control because we wanted to fuck and not get pregnant. Or we gladly had SAFE sex so we wouldn't get pregnant.
People have to be responsible for some of their behaviors & consequences. Forcing insurance companies to pay for your Trojans only drives up the cost of health care for everyone.
And I'm sorry there might be some .00001 percent of the population who need the pill to deal with health issues related to their uterus but the whole country shouldn't have to suffer because of an extremely small minority.
It actually saves insurance corporations money to pay for contraception. they would be on street corners if they could handing out contraception.
How do you, or anyone, suffer if others get coverage for contraception?
You are off the mark and full of shit!
There are many men and woman on the financial edge and shouldn't be forced
to make a choice between paying for basic essentials aka food, shelter etc and
contaception
I wonder if this will be brought up at the debate tonight.John King will be the
moderatorenabler. What will he do with NOOT. Ignore him? Embarrass him? Treat Noot like the piece of shit that he is? Or will John King kiss hiss as hoping that Noot does not show what a dumbass John King is? No matter what, bring the popcorn.i thought under John Boner and Eric Cannot it was going to be JOBS JOBS JOBS as the top priority... why did they decide to control women's vaginas and wombs instead?
The contraception will not be televised!
all men should be forced to undergo a rectal prostate examination.
Easy.
Men 45 and older should be getting regular prostrate exams anyway.
THAT's when you get the prescription...
... With unlimited refills.

...I can't get past the fact that there's a person named Krystal Ball walking around out there. Sounds like some vaudeville burlesque performer's stage name.
