Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) calls birth control, "recreational." [View all]



Sen. Mike Lee: Birth Control Pills Are For 'Recreational' Use

Does this guy look like an expert on recreational sex? Mike Lee had a few words -- and judgments -- for women affected by the Hobby Lobby decision.

Maybe Mike Lee should just come out and call women sluts for wanting access to contraceptives? Oh wait, I think he just did! The free boner pills are totally fine with this guy, but if you're female, you're a slut.

ThinkProgress:

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) agreed on Monday that women use birth control to protect themselves from “recreational behavior,” just hours after the Supreme Court ruled that some companies can refuse to provide health insurance coverage that includes contraceptive services.

During an appearance on Sirius XM’s The Wilkow Majority, host Andrew Wilkow argued that the real question in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores Inc., was about “whether or not a person who runs a business should be forced to provide something that is largely for recreational behavior, if it goes against their religious beliefs.”
