Get The Hell Outta My Uterus
I swear on a stack of pancakes that Republican men are too damn concerned about my uterus. It edges on being pornographic.
First they want to make me have babies, then they want to keep me from having babies.
Make up your damn mind, Republican Men, because my uterus ain’t gonna tend to itself, you know.
Arkansas Republican State Rep. Kim Hammer (consider that fair warning) is menacingly opposed to all taxpayer funded health care or birth control except …
Rep. Kim Hammer, R-Benton, filed HB 1868, under which an unwed mother of one child who is receiving Medicaid benefits would receive reimbursement from the state Medicaid program for the cost of implanting a contraceptive device that is effective for five years or longer.
“Often young people make decisions and they get a sense that they don’t want to make that decision again for a while. We need to give them a little bit of a breather to think about their life decisions that are affecting us as taxpayers,” Hammer said.
So, unwed women can’t have birth control that lasts for a year or two but holy saint of hoochy above, they can get free birth control if they’ll have babies according to Mr. Hammer’s schedule. And God forbid that we give her control over her birth … control? It’s Hammer Control, bygawd!
And married women? They need to keep pumping out those babies.
Sorry, I can’t see it. The man’s offering free birth control the way I read the quote. I probably disagree with his motives, but if it’s free and VOLUNTARY, I’m good. Am I missing something?
1Wyatt: The good Rep only wants POOR….meaning nonwhite, to them…women to have BC, and for 5 years. Not paying anymore benefits for ’em, you see.
2On the OTHER hand, women wanting to get BC on their insurance..that they or their employer pay towards…….well, that ain’t happening. Government funding BAD behavior, dontcha know…..religious freedom, yada, yada….
New Oxymoron: Republican Logic.
3If government can limit women’s access to birth control and abortion doesn’t also follow that government can limit child births as China has attempted to do? Isn’t possible this country may in the future resort to limiting the number of children a woman can have because of over-population? Do folks on the far right ever think about such things?
4@Uncle Dave “Do folks on the far right ever think about such things?”
No. It will never happen to them because they are good white christians. All these restrictions are for and will only happen to the bad poor minorities.
5Wait, what? Isn’t this man a member of the Hair-On-Fire-Party-Against-Planned-Parenthood? NOW he wants birth control? JesusMaryandJosepthandtheAssthattookthemtoEgypt this makes my head hurt!!!
6He’s is one damn confused dude but thats the way them RWNJs get when they try to think something out. Under the circumstances, he really should just go and take what my mamma called holy birth control — a St. Joseph’s aspirin.
7An IUD is a T-shaped piece of plastic that is put inside the uterus by a health care provider. One type of IUD releases hormones to prevent fertilization and another uses copper to fight off sperm. The kind with hormones can stay put for 3 to 5 years; the one with copper lasts for about 10.
But,we just can’t let them loose wimmen have the morning after pill.it violates our religious beliefs-sincerely held,of course. These devices are already free in most cases.
8Hypocracy-thy name be rwnj over and over and over and over…..
9Government has to be small to fit inside the uterus, dontcha know.
10It would be a better idea if Medicaid would pay for birth control, period. Looks like he cares only about saving taxpayer money. But long-term birth control, if the woman agrees, is a good thing.
Limiting births is not generally a GOP thing. In 2008, I think, the WashPost ran a chart profiling the umpteen early presidential candidates. None of the Dems had more than two kids, and none of the GOP had fewer than three– some five or six. It goes with their anti-science beliefs that the Earth is infinite and can hold forty billion people, no problem.
11I don’t call them rePUKEians for nothing!! They earn the name!
12First & foremost this would limit future minority voters, the fastest growing voter demographic.
Secondly it would seem to apply only to women with one child, got more you’re SOL. How does that make sense?
@eplatypus The IUD insertion procedure isn’t generally considered surgical, I was wondering if he was thinking about the Implanon upper arm implant but that only lasts 3 years. It sorta fits because it is similar to what feedlot do to heifers so they grow faster
