That's awfully easy to say - when one is not confronted by pharmacists who claim their religion

says they don't have to fill your legal birth control prescription,
or when one hasn't been knocked up during rape,
or when one wasn't homeschooled by parents who taught abstinence-only,
or when one wasn't in a school where "sex education class" was all about abstinence-only,
or when bedroom busybody governors and state legislatures didn't continue their assault on women's reproductive rights (and don't stop til they get anti-contraception legislation turned into law,
or when one's only source for birth control is Planned Parenthood (which in many ways is pretty much on the ropes),
or when CON governors and state legislatures refuse to implement the ACA and/or state exchanges,
or when one works at companies like Hobby Lobby that whine about their "sincerely held 'beliefs'" override their female employees needs for contraception in their employer-provided health insurance package,
...and the list goes on.

But yeah, I suppose you could say birth control is "available."

Whoa - look where rand paul is.

Wasn't he last year's "Second Coming"?

Speaking of the "...but to derail Hillary" contingent:

Works for me, DMM!

Thanks for posting this.

Hair-Today, Gone-Tomorrow?

GREAT cartoon, Cha!

Love it! KICK!!!!

Proud to stand with my President. Hell, I'm proud to call him "MY President." I couldn't do that with the last one.

YES! I posted about this, too! Welcome to DU, SunShine22!

Glad you're here! Especially here in the Hillary Group.

I was surprised to find this HuffPo article. It's a GREAT find. It struck me as very validating - of my own views about the overkill by shall we say "overly enthusiastic" supporters of Bernie Sanders. Well, well, well, it's been noticed and NOT appreciated elsewhere than just here on DU. I've actually lost my temper here about it - the brickbats and the pile-ons and the avalanches of Bernie supporters jumping all over anyone who does not bow and scrape and genuflect. This HuffPo piece just reconfirmed all my concerns. It pointed out, accurately I think, that all they're doing is alienating people he's going to need if he winds up as the Democratic nominee. And that's what some of us here have tried to point out, too. I used to like him a lot. But some of his supporters have really started to push me away. Bernie-Bullying is a good word for it.

From the link:

"If Bernie Sanders is to be the Democratic candidate in the presidential election, having a cadre of mouth-breathing thugs as his posse is not, I'd presume, the image he'd choose to convey."

They even come into this group (a supposedly protected group) and start up with it. And then they're so quick to complain about how horrible Hillary supporters have supposedly been to them. Where? Seriously. WHERE has that happened? WHO'S behaving that way from the Hillary camp? I sure haven't seen it. I don't know what they're talking about! The author of the HuffPo piece seems to agree. To his credit, Bernie Sanders hasn't gone there, but too many of his supporters certainly have. And they ARE making him look bad.

Then again, some of them may not even be real Democrats, but GOP trolls trying to stir up shit. There's a National Review article exhorting republi-CONS to do exactly that.

Looks like it's starting to become "a thing."

Evidently there's a lot of that out there. I just posted about it elsewhere here.

It seems to be turning into a thing.

If you think some Hillary opponents seem to be going overboard just around here - think again.

Seems it's being noticed (and not very much appreciated) elsewhere than just on DU. Seems to have become a thing.

And it's a shame, too, because they risk turning a LOT of people off their candidate with their bullying. They're even getting aggressive on Jane Goodall forcryingoutloud! I mean, how dare Dr. Goodall fraternize with the dreaded Hillary?

GOOD.

Don't let the door hitcha where the Good Lord splitcha.

SHEESH there's ALWAYS gotta be somebody who's just GOT TO pee in the pickle barrel. "Looks like a skunk wandered into the picnic"! LOL!! Indeed so!
