Santorum Backer: In His Day Used Aspirin Between Their Knees for Birth Control

In an interview with Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC Thursday, billionaire Santorum backer Foster Friess said that debates over the candidate's personal objections to contraception are overblown, adding that, in his day, "gals" used aspirin as birth control.

Are you saying contraception is of no concern to married women??????

[DallasSun]

Contraception is also of great concern for men also.

[DallasSun]

And if so, what???

[wbill]

Friess is presumably saying all women who didn't want to become pregnant were abstinent and thus had no need for birth control.

I'm glad that the condescending schmuck who wrote this piece of garbage clarified this point for me. After all, I *AM* a right winger, and thus endowed with a lower mental capacity than most libs.

If it is “the pill” that you use then it is not conservative. It is a baby killer.

I'm not ignorant to the pill and how it works. The method of birth control my wife and I use is nobody's business except our own.

Contraception is also of great concern for men also.

But you're really serious about the matter, as I was upon marriage, you get a vasectomy. That closes the door.

[OldPossum]

“if” after “But.”

[Drew68]

Given your posts on Obama's eligibility I would have never guessed that you were conservative.

Why don't you go help Orly pay for another Hawaiian vacation and let the adults discuss this issue.

[DallasSun]

Absolutely. You are right. For you. But many men are not comfortable with that solution so the woman relies on birth control. Everyone has to make their own decision. There is not a thing wrong with yours. Or mine.

[DallasSun]

I have known men, who when merely hearing the “vasectomy” word roll into the boiled shrimp position.

Mostly pro-pot propaganda and book length copy and paste Dem talking point/Ron Paul agitprop.

I trust Saint Rick to refuse any more lucre from this person.

But you're really serious about the matter, as I was upon marriage, you get a vasectomy. That closes the door.

And some couples, like my wife and I want more children in addition to the ones we already have. It's just we want them on our schedule. What good would a vasectomy do?

[Lady Lucky]

If the women used Bayer aspirin, what did the men use?

Liquor. [sp]

Are you saying contraception is of no concern to married women??????

Nope! I'm just saying that you have just fallen for the DNC contrived controversy over contraception and the Catholic church which has never even been mentioned for over 35 years......

"Divide and Conquer", see how it works?

[Lady Lucky]

LOL!! Where did you get that photo and are there any more like it where that came from?

[CrosscutSaw]

What gives Obama or the government the right to force insurance companies to pay for your contraceptives? Buy them yourself or choose an insurance company that voluntarily includes them in their paid benefits.

[DallasSun]

I must be thick as a plank. I do not understand your point. I have not fallen for anything. I am not basing my comments on anything from the DNC. I am basing them on what Santorum himself has said. Help me please. Thick as a plank I am telling you!

“Even without insurance it is cheap.”

C.Pills cost between $10 and $50 per month, depending on the brand. ANY woman can pay for it, if she eats two burgers less in 30 days.
