I not on BC. Also NGA. It makes me feel pathetic not smug and virtuous.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

I'm on BC so I can continue to afford food for the babies I already had via heterosexual monogamous married sex. Woo, so slutty!
[edit: I also realized that by Rush Limbaugh's logic, I would need to have a new IUD inserted every time I had sex. Which would be an incredibly strong argument in favor of abstinence.]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm just wondering what polling numbers and marketing information the Republican candidates are using which is telling them that this is a winning plank in their platform.
Did they forget that women have the vote?

Holy god, yes.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
They're not winning this. They're actually kind of slinking away. They'd have their tails between their legs, but with all the aspirin they're holding, they can't fit it.

I actually kind of punted and said, "look, we all have to pay for shit we find morally objectionable. If I have to pay for you to get your war on, you have to pay for me to get my groove on."
Which, not helpful, but GODDAMN I AM CLEVER.

Jon Stewart said almost exactly the same thing Monday night.

But there are women (I assume largely if not entirely right-wing) who do oppose BC, or who have the convenient attitude of "It's okay for ME, because I'm married, but not for unmarried sluts." And they vote.
I mean, I assume that some of the enormous amount of votes Santorum got yesterday came from women.

It's sort of like medicare, though Steph. I think that those who think, "It's okay for ME" still want it covered by their insurance. The ones who don't think it's ever ok are likely a very small minority.
Anyway, this is my oasis and I shall stop in here to agree with you all.

Yeah, but -- covered for *them,* not for sluts. And I *totally* agree that that's a logically untenable position, but things like this don't seem to embrace the logic.
