Miss. governor doesn’t rule out banning contraception if Roe falls

[bluesmoke]

masturbation is murder.

As is menstruation. They have a choice to fertilize the egg or save it for fertilization. Like the cons mantra, "It's a matter of choices." They have to figure out a way to time the egg with the need for masturbation to avoid both murders. Oh, wait...

This is good. But more importantly, ****ing vote, people. Don't sit out midterms. Also, understand this: every single election ever, is not about the candidate you'd like to vote for, but about voting *against* the worst candidate - preventing damage. If you want better candidates, get involved in the grassroots process and all that. But when it comes to voting, vote for the better of the two options, even if that candidate doesn't have all the pizazz you'd like. Show up. Vote. Vote for the guy/gal who will ultimately defend your interests.

It's no longer enough for a person to vote.

Everyone has to get everyone they know to vote. Everyone they know needs to get everyone they know to vote.

And so on.

People need to help people to get registered and to vote.

Find out of there are people who need a ride to the polls and take them. Find people who need a babysitter while they vote and get them a babysitter.

It's no longer good enough to vote. Everyone needs to get as many people to vote as possible.

We need to send a message to the republicans that if they ever want to win any election again they have to stop this war on women and their bodies.

There is no other way to stop it.

Our bodies aren't a political football or a political weapon.

If that is for real then it is simply asinine! Contraception's the solution to the whole issue.

Have you ever wondered why the anti choice people have been going after Planned Parenthood all these decades when 97% of their business is mammograms, STD prevention and BIRTH CONTROL?

Have you ever wondered why the anti choice people have been going after the Planned Parenthood clinics that don't provide any abortion services? Which most Planned Parenthood clinics don't provide abortion services.

Have you ever wondered why when contraceptives were included for 100% coverage by insurance the conservatives screamed bloody murder and couldn't even agree on a compromise when it was offered?

If you look at the actions of the anti choice people it will show you they don't want to prevent unplanned pregnancies. They want to cause as many unplanned pregnancies as possible and they want force all of those unplanned pregnancies to be taken to full term no matter what. Even if the woman or girl is the survivor of rape or incest. Even if the fetus will die soon after birth or be born with serious problems until it dies.

It's not just about abortion with the anti choice people. It's also about contraception.

If the anti choice people actually wanted to prevent abortion the last thing they should be doing is attacking the one organization that prevents millions of unplanned pregnancies a year. More than any other organization in the nation.

That organization is Planned Parenthood.

Think about it without any emotions or blinders on.

This business of a reporter asking a question that does not get a response, just so they can print: "does not rule out" is just weak journalism.

Except this issue is not new. GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum was talking about this issue 10 years ago. He said "contraception is NOT OK."

 

[TheParser]

Shame on him!

He should be doing everything possible to encourage contraception.

I saw the Mississippi Governor in that interview. There was no question in my mind that he was definitely leaving the door open to legislation against some forms of birth control and for sure the plan B pill. Jake Tapper is a great interviewer and he did press him. Finally, Tapper pointedly said..."so you aren't ruling it out" and the Governor said words to the effect of...... right now we are focused on abortion.

He also said that the "trigger" bill passed in 2007 will definitely go into effect as soon as the decision is final.

Ah yes---Mississippi, a perennial powerhouse in the "Annual Stupid State Contest"...

Tapper pointed out Mississippi's low education rate, poverty levels etc and asked him how poor uneducated women would manage with these unwanted children and the weasel went on to say that the State was intending to provide all sorts of new and additional support to these women and their children....what hogwash...they haven't cared about their poor children before they aren't suddenly establishing a social safety net in Mississippi. The man is a neanderthal!

Every sperm is sacred?

I am disappointed that you did not include the video

 

[maquiscat]

we already have plans for a big one in our area.

ALL men should support women's privacy and participate. and remember, this will be a decades long war.

Men do, males don't

Told ya.

Welp that's going to be very expensive money-wise and politically.

They will.

Mississippi, Louisianna ........can't care about what you don't have! Ever notice that the most anti-abortion States are often the poorest and the least educated my bet is they have extremely low voter participation rates too.

Some of us lived in the days when contraceptives were not something one could get easily. When I was a young woman living in Boston I knew a medical student who knew a doctor who was willing to examine me and then give me birth control pills, but it was illegal for him to do so. I was 18 and a high school graduate. This doctor went out on a limb to try to help young women avoid unwanted pregnancies. I am not sure what penalty he faced if he was "caught", but what we were doing was illegal in Boston at the time. The year was 1969.

"The man is a neanderthal!"

Misanthropic knuckle-dragger with plenty of think-alikers to keep his strength in numbers.

Not sure Mississippi, which leads the nation in infant mortality, is the model the nation should follow.
