Maybe if Viagra men were to get a deep rectal exam and an EKG...

...I could understand what the hesitation is with not allowing women to choose their own health plans.

The conservative wingnuts are killing themselves to out-Neanderthal each other and that is somewhat of an insult to Neanderthals because really, they didn't know any better. Allegedly at least some of the conservatives HAVE been to a school. The curret debate is whether contraceptives, not even abortion anymore, should be as accessible and readily funded in the insurance plans as it is. This is 2012. It isn't enough for these mouth-breathers to want to deny women access to abortions, or make the process invasive and demeaning, rather than the outcome of a thoughtful process. They want to deny women contraceptives. They want to cut education funding. They want to reduce health care access. And worst of all they wish to remain befuddled why teen pregnancy is on the rise, we are losing the edge in the global market, and our nation is steadily creeping up in being on eof the unhealthiest.

Conservatives continue to be deeply afraid of women having free and equal control over their own bodies and all that follows from that. Like having sex. Creating fewer unwanted children. And women taking care of themselves. What a sin.
