“I never thought I’d agree with Planned Parenthood about anything, although needless to say our reasons are different.”

Actually, I think this is a good strategy. Planned Parenthood is the greater evil. This would help destroy that place.

Focus on the bigger picture :-). I know your convictions might lead you to disagree overall, but destroying PP is cutting the head off the snake when it comes to abortion.

Legislature like this would be a stride in that direction. It’s akin to giving people the right to choose to join a public sector union. It would help cripple that scummy organization.

I agree with you! Anything that diminishes the "services" that PP offers to women, the BETTER! And for them to say it would cost MORE is because right now it is being forced to be given out as socialized medicine! The fact is that most people can get birth control at Wal-Mart for around $4 a month! If you can't afford that, then you have a very serious financial priority issue, not a lack of birth control access issue!

More importantly, it would take this wedge issue off of the table for Democrats and THAT is why they are screaming bloody murder!

Well, actually, anyone can buy condoms over the counter. I reread the article and it very carefully neglects to say what kind of “birth control” they are talking about. Presumably this is actually an early abortion medication.

I can’t approve of that, or of any legislators who support it.

And arguing that it takes away money from Planned Parenthood is kind of like saying why don’t we set up our own abortion clinics, so we can take money from them?
