You aren't expecting a teabagger militia dude to actually do some independent research, are you?

I'd suggest that's a streaming pile of crap, but its also a pretty interesting insight in how lefty men view women.
I would suggest that you really know how to twist the meaning of damn near anything, no one here on the left has suggested that women are powerless (come here and suggest that to my wife and they might release from intensive care after 30 days). We have SAID (operative word not suggested, that is your misinterpretation) that women have yet to be treated equally and fairly. And that the GOP is surely not their friend.

You are getting more like your avatar ever day.

I could not seem to link t Ruth Marcus' column in today's WaPo but the opening paragraphs were hilarious, I did not realize she had such a sense of humour so I will quote them.

"How did the Supreme Court manage to agree unanimously that police must obtain a warrant before searching cellphones yet split on whether employers must offer contraception as part of their health-care plans?

My explanation, slightly crude but perhaps compelling: All the justices, presumably, have cellphones. Only three have uteruses, and you know which way they voted.

Of course, a uterus is not a prerequisite for understanding the importance of access to birth control. See, e.g., Justice Stephen G. Breyer, who voted with Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan to uphold the contraceptive mandate.

But let’s be clear: It helps. Justices are people, not legal robots mechanistically applying laser-sharp rules. They bring to the job an understanding of the world shaped by their experiences. "

Isn't it weird how about 3 out of 4 right wingers you run into online are creeps with gross personality disorders?

Like, they seem to have taken over. There were always some around, but not so many....

Oh I understand that fact quite well which is why I am sure Green was more concerned with his pocketbook than his religion. Find me somewhere where the AMA has stated that an IUD or RU-486 is equivalent to abortion, bet you cant. We were not talking about Green's religious beliefs but his "Religious Opinions" and very convenient mythology that will save him the costs of either device/drug.

Then he will have more money to invest in the shares of the very companies that produce these device/drugs. Sorry whell but you man Green is a poster boy for hypocrisy.

What's that old Ian Fleming rule? Three times is enemy action?

There are creeps abounding because they are recruited.

Get used to it DQ this is the right's spin on the left's arguments for equality for women. The figure , like Goebbels, if they keep repeating BS often enough it miraculously becomes true.

I don't deny that they share that misconception just rather curious as to the logic behind it. For those fighting infertility and her ovum are fertilized in a Petri dish are the ones not used, i.e., discarded aborted?
