The New Incivility Towards Women

A few weeks ago everyone from Rush Limbaugh to Bill O'Reilly to many lesser known right-wing radio talk show hosts,  decided that they all needed to be going after a poor, unfortunate, Georgetown law student who had the temerity to state before a fake Congressional board, that while birth control pills do prevent most pregnancies, they can also be used as a cure for certain medical conditions.  Then Rush took the conversation to an even lower level by suggesting that all these women who want the government to pay for birth control (so they can have more and more sex) should tape their sexual encounters and send 'em on over ole Rush (AKA - America's sweetest windbag).  Damned hussies!  All this from an adulterer and former drug addict.  Where else would you go for moral judgments???

First the Grand Poobah of Bloviattors, Rush Limbaugh) spoke about her wantonness, her sexual desires, for why else would anyone need they BC pills???  He said young women today were spending more and more money so that they could have more and more sex without fear of pregnancy.  I found it ironic that a lesbian commentator, Rachel Maddow, had to explain to Rush that you don't have to take one of these BC pillss every time you have sex.  You only take them once a day, then you can have all the sex you want (all day).  Ca-raaazee sex fiends...

Now Rick Santoram says that we don't really need BC pills because they will only lead to more sex, for the purposes of pleasure only.  Every one knows, only married people, trying to have a baby, should be having sex.  The rest of us just have to wait until our time comes (unless your gay, a senior citizen, or maybe even infertile) before we too may know the joys of sexual union.

How is it that the party of less government is the most concerned about what goes on between a woman and her doctor or pharmacist?  In VA this week they passed a law that requires any woman requesting an abortion to have an ultra-sound of the fetus done (at her expense).  She will even be forced to view the results of the scan so she can make better choices about her reproductive health..  Sounds rather like A Clockwork Orange or 1984, not modern-day (I use that term loosely) Virginia.

I hope that female voters remember all that has been going on here in the Spring of this election year come November.  Remember the Republican party sees you as not capable of making your own health care decisions, without the help of your government.
