Check out this great MSN video: How America got into birth control mess
Two nights ago MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell discussed why the whole birth control/Catholic Church "controversy" would be moot under a Single Payer system. (Obama just announced that religious employers won't have to provide contraceptives, insurers will) Why didn't he say this when these deals were being made?
I saw this image on Facebook posted by a staunch Ron Paul, an Obstetrician, supporter and had to post it because it's so silly. It resembles a WWI propaganda poster. Yes what happens in the womb is important for the child's well being but what happens after birth is at least as important. Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, when a Presidential candidate in March 2011, declared that his state was the "safest to be an unborn child." As Jon Stewart points out his state is the least safe to be a newborn child. Most of this "debate" is really just petty pandering to people deepest fears, like death panels, to prevent them from enacting the very thing that can improve their lives.
