Stick to The Point

Lots of fury over the latest giant pile of steaming Limbaugh.

From Balloon Juice, mistermix posted a good one, quoting Amanda Marcotte at Pandagon:

"Some women aren't even taking the birth control pill for contraception! They need it for cramps/endometriosis/etc."

Every time you say this, a right winger wanting to imply that women who have sex for pleasure are sluts gets his wings. This statement and all variations on it feeds into the right wing claim that a) contraception is not health care and b) that women who have sex for pleasure are so indefensible that you have to lean on off-label uses for a contraceptive drug to justify its existence. It also does absolutely nothing to defend the non-pill contraception that's covered by the health care act, such as IUDs or sterilization. Plus, that gives them an easy out, which is to say that they're fine with insurance covering pills that are prescribed for non-contraception use, but just object to prescriptions for women who use them to prevent pregnancy.

It's one of the debate tactics that "conservatives" use all the time - first, they claim you agree with them that women are always and only either Mary Mother of God,  or that they're always and only Devil-Fuckers.  And second, that since you agree on the first point, then you're encouraging woman to have sex with Satan.  And that means you're the one who is "anti-woman".

Here's really the only thing that matters as far as I'm concerned:
There are many good reasons for women to have unrestricted access to "contraceptives", and while everybody's wellbeing is of some concern to all of us in a generic kinda way, what a woman chooses to do with her lady-parts is NONE OF MY DAMNED BUSINESS.

Ya want people to be left alone?  Then try it sometime, ya fuckin' jerk.
