34. And therein lies the issue I was raising.

I don't understand them getting to up in arms against women using birth control, while not having any problem with men using condoms. They seek to regulate all forms of female contraception - the pill, diaphrams, IUDs, etc. need a prescription from a doctor. Now comes the morning after pill that is most assuredly NOT an abortifact, and can be bought OTC, and the Right goes bat-shit crazy.

The only conclusion I can come to is that they want to put women back into second-class status - entities who cannot make decisions for themselves and are totally dependent on men for what they can and cannot do (The Handmaiden's Tale anyone?). But if that is what they really want, how in the world do they get female spokespeople to espouse this this POV?

That's the part where I really get lost.
