More anti-choice idiocy in Ohio

From the Daily KOS:

The Ohio legislature is, of course, considering more legislation to ban insurance coverage for abortion in public and private insurance (because women can't be trusted to make the right decisions with their own money) but also that would ban insurance plans from covering "drugs or devices used to prevent the implantation of a fertilized ovum." That would include, yes, the most widely used forms of effective birth control, the pill and IUDs.

Here's the genius behind the bill.

Rep. John Becker (R), who sponsored the bill, said during Tuesday’s hearing that birth control pills should not be banned under HB 351. But he still wants IUDs, which are long-acting forms of birth control that are inserted in the uterus, to fall under the ban because he considers IUDs to be a form of abortion. “This is just a personal view. I’m not a medical doctor,” he said.

So you admit that you are not a doctor, but you STILL wanna dictate what women do with their bodies.

House Speaker John Boehner calls for hearings over Bowe Bergdahl release

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner backed calls on Tuesday for congressional hearings on the decision to swap five Taliban prisoners from the Guantanamo detention center for captured U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl.

“The administration has invited serious questions into how this exchange went down and the calculations the White House and relevant agencies made in moving forward without consulting Congress despite assurances it would re-engage with members on both sides of the aisle,” Boehner said in a statement.

Boehner said he joined all Americans in welcoming Bergdahl home, but signaled there will likely be a series of hearings at least in the Republican-led House looking into the circumstances of his release.
