If you are a woman in the USA, you need to read this

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have decided to "re-define" contraception (i.e., hormonal contraception aka, The Pill) as "abortion."

Details on the page linked above.

I have no words. This sounds utterly despicable.

"I have no words."

I have plenty, but most of them are variations on "those pig-fuckers!"

I'm still absolutely gobsmacked and I read this post an hour ago. All I can do is say... '.....'

I saw this yesterday, and I'm outraged. I've never understood why some men need to control women's bodies like this--it makes absolutely no sense. And I have never been able to get past the religious right's hypocrisy over the supposed "sanctity of life", how they insist on protecting unborn life but happily kill children once they've grown up a bit by sending them off to war. It's disgusting. Am definitely writing my senators and representatives over this, though I doubt it will do much good, seeing as they're all religious whack job republicans themselves.

Modern GOP motto: "Life is sacred from conception to birth. After that you're on your own, kid."

I was just shocked when I saw this. o.0 How is preventing yourself from getting pregnant even REMOTELY near aborting a live fetus?! Are condoms and spermacide äbortion" now too? *Sigh* The first thing that comes to mind when I think of the American foundation is "sepration of religion and state", which honestly I have yet to truly find :(
