Politics Contraception is Murder
posted by October 17 at 11:27 AM
onSurprise! The woman George W. Bush has appointed to oversee family planning programs at the Department of Health and Human Services thinks contraception is a part of our “culture of death,” and that requiring health insurance plans to cover contraception isn’t about health, but about making “everyone collaborators” in that culture of death. Susan Orr is a Family Research Council alum and a big supporter, naturally, of the billion-dollar boondoggle that is abstinence-only education.
George W. Bush is going to be in office for 13 more months.

Not if Sonya Blade has something to say about it.
Perhaps, if she wants to avoid the tragedy of wasted seed, she can volunteer to be the nation's semen receptacle.
Right, because endless war in Iraq has nothing to do with contributing to the so-called culture of death. Seriously, y'all. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Maybe the Flying Spaghetti Monster can deflect an asteroid or something and play pee-shooter with the Washington Monument or the White House ...
i don't know will. i find that most of FSM's policies are helplessly tangled. and have you seen whom FSM might nominate for cabinet positions? a bunch of meatballs if you ask me.
And of course, since she'll be the acting head of the office, there's no Senate hearing to vet her, and no Senate vote on the appointment.
Not that this is an "advise-and-consent" position anyway ... I'm just reiterating the point that Dubya hasn't made real appointments to many offices where the Senate could have a say in the matter, leaving those positions in the hands of unconfirmed (and unconfirmable) disastrous wingnut hacks.
And I gasp with horror for about the 3rd time today. These guys just keep at it.
Revolution is our only hope. And I'm not too old to fight.
Ugh, "fertility is not a disease." Maybe fertility is not, but pregnancy is a STD and I don't want it!!!!
Actually, from a biological perspective, pregnancy is an infection.
But a useful one.
Bush is going to pull this kind of crap as often as possible as he rides out the rest of his term.
Agree with Monkey. Get back to your work, nothing to see here.
Except for the spineless Dems who keep shut on this kind of stuff.
The difference between a fuck-up Republican President and a fuck-up Democratic President is simple:
The Republican President will spend their remaining months trying to ensure that the first few years of the Democratic President will be hell.
The Democratic President would spend their remaining months trying to do what is right, not thinking of how to screw with whatever party the next President is with, because they most likely actually care about their country.
At least that's how I see it.
After I come I like to hold the rubber next to my ear and listen to millions of sperm scream and die.
God I just had to go over to icanhascheezburger for a while after reading that.
Then eat it, right?
"abortions send babies to God FASTER!"
i'm glad you use a condom for this particular form of entertainment.
Interesting that the people who want to have a "culture of life" don't want to provide any social services to the people they think should have kids. Let alone providing healthcare to children that already exist, cause you know, that is just good policy.
*shakes head*
Right, because no woman has ever had to take birth control pills in order to regulate their reproductive hormones for the sake of their health. I, and many other sufferers of PCOS and other hormonal disorders, apparently do not exist.
Actually, now that I think about it I wish I didn't because then I wouldn't have had to read that.
@18,
Ha! That's not the half of it. A "pro-life" organization refuses to support SCHIP. So, quite literally, they don't give a fuck what happens to children once they're out of the womb.
Man, that is so pro-life it's like taking living toddlers and using pitchforks on them, @20. I wonder how God-hating Red Bushies can sleep at night ...
461 days 19 hours 19 minutes and 52....49....47....45....
at least she's not a vetrinarian like that one guy who was put in chage of women's health at the FDA.....
I wouldn't say that contraception is murder, but it does impede new life.
That seems like something we can all factually agree upon. What it means ideologically, well, that's another bunch of bananas for the monkeys to scream about
