The absurdity, chauvinism, and irony inherent in men attempting to deny women access to contraceptives (and abortions) is completely lost on these nincompoops.

Incomprehensibly, this oversight was compounded on Thursday when Republicans convened a congressional panel of interested parties to discuss this issue that was comprised of men only:
‘Reading the news this morning was like stepping into a time machine and going back 50 years,’ Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said. ‘It’s a picture that says a thousand words, and it’s one that most women thought was left behind when pictures only came in black and white.’
‘I’m disappointed. I know it’s a disappointment that’s shared by millions of women across this country,’ Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., said. ‘I’m saddened that here we are in 2012 and a House committee would hold a hearing on women’s health and deny women the ability to share their perspective.’
