Side effect of the pill: All loss of restraint or responsibility

Side effect of the pill: All loss of restraint or responsibility

Come on, laugh with me, because this is too preposterous to cry over.В  To have an oh, so reasonable discussion about the move to have health care reform cover birth control for women, Fox News invited Family PAC Vice President Sandy Rios to balance (remember, they’re fair and balanced!) arguments by former Women’s Media Center president Jehmu Greene thatВ theВ facts support greater access to birth control.

Predictably, Rios offered something much more diverting than facts:

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 ?

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?

It’s funny, the way I remember it, a lot of discussion and decision-making went into my first sexual relationship and our commitments regarding pregnancy and family planning.В  But now I realize that in pursuingВ birth control,В I was actually hankering after «unrestricted, unlimited sex anytime, anywhere,» with anyone!В  Because that is what birth control does, really.
