That's one way to start a blog!




I could not help but bust up laughing, I’m sorry, but the irony, hypocrisy and just sheer hyperbole in this commercial is legitimately entertaining. I give them points for concept. But I have to take some away for promoting misinformation, as well as general inconsistency (since, apparently it’s not okay to implement a program that will extend medical coverage to almost all uninsured women in the US, thus giving them access to gynecology and women’s health services they did not previously have, but it’s perfectly okay to crawl on up inside that baby-making stargate when it involves a woman’s autonomy and reproductive rights)…and probably a couple of points for clunky script writing. But hey! It’s nice to see these folks actually maybe beginning to gather some sort of inkling that women want the government to stay the fuck out of their vaginas?

According to the Guttmacher Institute 93 (out of the originally proposed 694) proposed pieces of state legislation, have been passed in 2013 alone, about half of which pertain directly to restricting reproductive rights…so then again…maybe not…
