"United States Department of Health and Human Services proposes classifying contraception as abortion."
Y'know... I'm just going to sit here and stare blankly for a while.
The sheer, unbound, rampant, screaming idiocy astounds me. But it doesn't surprise me.
I mean, this sort of thing has been raging on in debate classes for a long time, right?
I love Naamah's rant, but I'm not getting all worked up about it yet, because the moronic proposal might not go through; it's mostly a handful of wacky fundamentalist nutjobs who still don't think women have any basic rights to our bodies, etc etc and who obviously have no idea how contraception works.
But still. How many times can we say it? OUR BODIES. OUR WOMBS. OURS. NOT YOURS. YOU CANNOT HAS.
Whatever. It's stupidity at its finest and strongest, but the thing about stupidity is that it has a very high rate of fail.
That's all. Feel free to debate, but I might be quiet until tonight. I have a lot of work today.
