McCain shows ignorance regarding birth control »

Posted By RickyDawkins 1 year, 5 months ago in News

This video of John McCain is truly incredible. The simple answer should have been that insurance companies should, indeed, cover birth control pills. But McCain was incoherent. This is not the first time McCain has shown profound ignorance on birth control and sexuality. Here's the Straight-Talk Express at work:

    The problem is that he is trying to hold onto the radical right, which wants to outlaw all effective birth control. See also, here, regarding the political positions on birth control pushed by those bastions of misinformation, "Pregnancy Resource Centers," which dot the land, often well-funded by tax dollars. The Republicans are controlled by those who believe that they should control when and how you feel sexual pleasure.

    Also check out McCain's ignorance on the relationship between condom use and HIV:

    As you can see, then, even when you set aside the issue of abortion, Republicans are further determined to tell you if, when and how to get pregnant. How can they not see that this should be a decision left to individuals? The answer is that Republicans are pandering to the radical "religious" Right.

    He'll have to talk to Bush & his campaign handlers to get the right position on that issue and any other.

          If it were anyone else, or any other group of people (the backers), I'd say: "Incredible"!

          But this is John McChicanery. The better title would be just "John McCain shows his ignorance. Period!

          I remember a song by Gene Vincent called, "Sleepy Eyed John".

          Look at those vacant lifeless eyes. The only time they show any spark is when he is angry (usually caught in a lie).

          The Agnos crowd think he has balls. Balls over brains are what I prefer, every time I breed you cows...Moo!

          Lol!

          Brains are trump!

            This guy is an old, ignorant idiot with early signs of Alzeihmers. .... and a crook, a hypocrite, a flip flopper faster than a killer whale.

            The right place for this scum bag is a nursing home.

              so Nikki tell us how you really feel, and when your taxes go to over 54% with an Obama white house who you going to call names then, your idiocy is screaming out loud.

                My taxes will not go up 54% with Obama. Actually it will go down since any income under $75K will not be taxable under Obama.

                I THINK HIS REACTION HAS MORE TO DO WITH THE GENERATION HE WAS BORN IN. BIRTH CONTROL WAS PRETTY LIMITED BEFORE THE 60'S. BUT THE ERA OF FREE LOVE BROUGHT WITH IT BIRTH CONTROL THAT WAS THE WOMAN'S RESPONSIBILITY & MOST OF US HAD ENOUGH SENSE TO USE THE PILL, WHICH BY THE WAY IS FREE AT MOST HEALTH DEPARTMENTS FOR WOMEN WHO CANNOT AFFORD IT. I FEEL IF HEALTH CARE WILL PAY SO A MAN CAN GET IT UP, THEN IT CERTAINLY SHOULD PAY SO WOMAN CAN STAY SAFE FROM PREGNANCY & VD.

                    Dream on . What is promised during an election 90% will never be fact. You will pay "GARENTEED".

                      Good Lord, let's face facts. Most people who need birth control are too lazy to use it anyway.

                      Those who want it most are just looking for a way to pass on costs to other for their drugs. These are the smart people who are not going to have an "unexpected pregnancy" (a term that shows how Liberalism is eroding civilization), and want me to subsidize protection measures for their recreational activities.

                      I guess after they get AIDS via oral transfer, I'm going to be expected to pay for that too.

                      Wake up, America.

                        Typical Republican neo con fear mongering at work.

                        Same goes for McCain too. It will be the death for seniors, the poor and the needy as he will end social security & medicare.
