Democratic bill sponsor Rep. Kathy Manning said, 'The Supreme Court's decision stripping away the right to abortion has emboldened extremist attacks on women's freedoms.'

The majority of the House Republican conference voted Thursday against enshrining in law the right to obtain and use contraceptives in the United States, calling such a law an affront to religious liberty.

The bill passed by a vote of 228-195, with two Republicans voting "present." Just eight Republicans joined every Democratic House member in voting for H.R. 8373, titled the Right to Contraception Act.

2. When are GOP men going to figure out

that they're never getting laid again?

5. LOL! Well, that's what I said.

I said women should close their legs, and I got laughed at, because "women like sex, too." Well, of course they do. People like sex. There are many benefits to having sex, and people are not going to stop. But, p*ssy power is real, and it's time that women admitted it.

The whole idea of having to codify the right to contraception is sad, but if that's what it takes, let's do it. The only real way to prevent unwanted pregnancies is abstinence. But, if you can't do that, which is most of us, then provide another way to prevent pregnancy.

The world is crazy right now.

Show me documentation that you've been fixed and we might proceed from there.

10. Snip. Snip. Super easy for men, really just a 2-bandaid procedure. Not so easy for women...

… as abdominal muscles have to be cut through on each side. More expensive for women, too.

Anyhow, there’s your other way of preventing pregnancy: Vasectomy.

11. Well, let's codify that!

We can call it the Bobbitt Act. Not hostile or anything, just frustrated with all that's going on.

3. Really, the GOP is not a political party, but a collection of severely F'ed up people that

have come together. Clearly a number are severely disturbed individuals, and others are close.

4. The GOP's existence is an "affront to (my) religious liberty." Really, they are not even humane! n/t

8. "Religious Liberty"

Doesn’t include the right the right cram your religious imperatives down other peoples throats.

The Framers understood this very well.

12. What an image.

I read that Trump's religious imperative looked like a mushroom.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

14. You'd never guess who could affirm that...

Except, yes, you probably could.

9. That's gonna hurt every one of those jackasses. The ads write themselves!

13. Comstock laws are all the rage again for GOP

Controlling women is fun!
