Yes, Covering Birth Control Is Just Like Covering "Manicures And Pedicures"

"Is the White House out of their mind? Does the West Wing not know what the left wing is doing? We're $14 trillion in debt and now we're cover going to cover birth control, breast pumps, counseling for abuse? Are we going to do pedicures and manicures as well? ... Why in the world would you encourage your daughters, and your granddaughters, and whoever else comes behind you to have unrestricted, unlimited sex anytime, anywhere and that, somehow if you prevent pregnancy, that somehow you've helped them. I would submit to you that uncontrolled sexual behavior is what is harming our girls, not our lack of birth control — which by the way they don't seem interested in taking anyway. Having a baby is not the worst thing. I think having multiple sex partners without any kind of restraint or responsibility is much more damning, why would you support that?

— This is anti-birth control conservative Sandy Rios from a group called Family PAC speaking with Fox News' show "America's Newsroom" about requiring health insurers make birth control available without co-pays. (And yes, Sandy is a woman, which makes her comments all the more obnoxious.) I guess the tactic is to make birth control look like a silly, frivolous, la-di-da expense that ladies indulge in like a spa weekend? Well, next time we go out for cosmos and Depo Provera shots, Sandy Rios, you are not invited. [Think Progress]
