Since I had to spend an hour today listening to Democracy Now, most of which was composed of Republicans talking about restricting access to women’s health care:

Can we officially stop calling it pro-life, but instead anti-women’s health? I mean, we literally live in a world where the Komen Foundation (which just commercializes cancer activism, sucking up useful funding for other more common illnesses through its corporate structure) would rather cut funding to Planned Parenthood, the only source of breast cancer screenings for most poor women, rather than let 3% of its donations go to abortions. They would rather sell pink-handguns than be called less than perfectly pro-life.

It’s not pro-life at all. It’s anti-women, and it’s anti-health. And now Mitt Romney and Santorum are making stump speeches out of the fact that sometimes religious group’s insurance involves paying for birth control. Even though over 90% of American Catholic’s use birth control. Even though American Catholics are more likely than the general population to support insurance coverage of birth control. Even though those laws were in place when Bush was President. Even though, because of higher access to birth control, teenage abortions are at the LOWEST POINT in the past 40 years. Even though, during the peak of religious rulemaking in the Reagan 80’s, the level of teenage abortions peaked at 43.5 per 1,000 teen women.

There’s no logic here. There’s no compassion of Christ here. There’s just ignorance, and sexism.
