    I can't take it anymore.

    This just goes to show that these guys will truly take us back to the 1950s if given a chance. Once they're done with women's health and women's rights, maybe they'll start dismantling the Civil Rights Act, also. Except, of course, for the parts that Target is using to justify not requiring their Christian pharmacists to fill birth control prescriptions.

    Thank goodness I have an IUD. Even when they're not covered by insurance, IUDs are cheaper over the course of 5-10 years (depending on the model) than the current copay for birth control pills. And if insurance stops covering birth control again, that savings goes up. Plus, the IUD has the same effectiveness as surgical sterilization - which is a good thing since the right wants to take away our right to abortion also.

    We need to fight hard to take back the Congress this year, ladies. Because everytime you think the American Taliban has done its worst, they find yet another way to legislate us back into the dark ages.
