It is 2012 and the Republicans are arguing about contraception

Maybe it's because I'm British but doesn't this blow anyone else's mind? We are twelve years into the twenty-first century and one of only two major political parties will nominate, for the most powerful position on earth, someone who has spent at least part of their campaign saying that women don't have a right to contraception.

We're down the rabbit hole now, folks. If they're arguing this, all formerly settled questions, everything, is now up for being debated again.

including extremely old laws of the Roman empire that allowed powerful men to rape women without that being considered a crime.

IMO the Republicans of late are every bit as dangerous as the Nazis in Germany.
