I hardly think that unplanned pregnancies and unaffordable birth control is good for womens mental and physical health! Who really uses abstinence anyway? I’m sorry, but I never used abstinence even though it was shoved down my throat my whole life. I really don’t feel comfortable with a man making health decisions for me or any other woman! Also, this may be a little off subject, but I just found out that some insurance companies will cover viagra and not birth control! Supposedly it “keeps down on stresses at home” well, not having to worry about an unplanned pregnancy would help keep down on the stresses at my home!!! I’m sending a letter to my representives right now! Thanks for posting this:)

Good for you…lets have a Progress on the Prairie condom donation party! Want to? I love your idea that men need birth control, too. How novel! But what do we know…
His letter is so full of paternalistic protectionism that I want to puke. He’s not my daddy, but, goddamn if he isn’t trying to tell you, me, and all our sisters that he knows what’s best for our “physical and mental health.” Gag me with big fat dildo!
This guy is not the one I’ll ever go to for health advice. Honestly, his support of “fact-based legislation that benefits the health of American women” sounds more like code-talk for his support of garden-of-Eden era nostalgia. I’m so sick of these rhetorical pulls back to social conservatism. They are pure nostalgia, so far from realty.
What great evidence of why we need to keep up the fight here on the prairie. Thanks, Beamish.
