General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Single Women Are Quickly Becoming the ‘Evangelicals’ of the Democratic Party [View all]I mean, really: What. The. Fuck. are you talking about?
Are you then on the side of the forced-birthers who want to outlaw abortion altogether? Are you on the side of the anti-birth-control people who don't think anyone (well, any woman) should be allowed to use it? Are you on the side of those who want women to pay their insurance premiums, but have to pay out-of-pocket for birth control pills? and if so, does your position remain the same for women who need them for other therapeutic reasons? and if you make that exception, then how, exactly, will we make sure those women are getting their pills for only the "right" reasons? And finally, what is your position on Viagra? Do you think men should be covered for that drug?
Or are you just bemoaning the fact that the Republicans have handed the Democrats a winning issue, and that the Democrats might use the issue to get people to vote for them?
Some days I wonder what the hell is going on here at DU as well as across the country. This is one of those days.
