Wow. You just won the bullshit AWARD with that one!

And who does? The Pro-Lifers who are simultaneously working to outlaw the pill and "empower" physicians to deliver lectures about Jesus to women instead of filling their pill prescriptions?

Perhaps you've heard of the "Putting Prevention First Act"... How many big "pro-life" groups have signed on to that one? I'll answer it for you: NONE, because the anti-choice agenda is also almost universally ANTI-contraception. If it was really about "saving babies", you would think that supporting access to safe, effective contraception would be a no-brainer for the "pro-life" crowd. You know, supporting universal access to and health insurance coverage of contraception, birth control availability, research into newer, better, safer and different methods of contraception, and of course FACT BASED sex ed in schools WITH contraceptive availability, instead of this "abstinence only" bullshit.

But they're NOT. The "pro life" movement is pretty much across the board against all of that, because it's not about "saving babies" or preventing pregnancy so much as it is about trying to get people to STOP FUCKING for non-procreative purposes.

So don't give me this LIE about how "Planned Parenthood supports contraception but they don't make it a high priority to help women avoid unintended pregnancies." unless what you MEAN by that is, Planned Parenthood doesn't yell at young women to keep their legs crossed and get back to church.
