"Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday, for example, said the
amendment amounted to a “contraception ban,” and Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Thursday argued that an “extreme
ideological” element of the right had hijacked the underlying
transportation bill Blunt was seeking to amend." The Hill, Senate Rejects Blunt Amendment
The amendment would allow religious institutions to opt out of paying for contraceptives. Because, lo and behold, some religions do not support that.
Note that is not a "ban" on contraceptives. At all. In any way, shape, or form.
And while I'm at it, at what point in time did it become a fundamental human right that other people pay for your sex life? I've got a crazy alternative: let people purchase their own contraception! Oh my God, I'm a genius! Nominate me for a Nobel Prize in Economics and I'll be on my way.
So tired of this stupid shit. Why can't Democrats fight our actual arguments rather than straw men?
