FTA: Democrats on the panel were told they were allowed only one witness. They selected a young female Georgetown student, Sandra Fluke, who was going to discuss the repercussions of losing contraceptive coverage. But Representative Darrell Issa, the chairman, rejected her as "not qualified."

When the hearing began this morning, the Democratic women on the committee walked out. Representative Elijah Cummings, the ranking Democrat, put out a statement blasting Issa:

It is inconceivable to me that you believe tomorrow's hearing has no bearing on the reproductive rights of women. This Committee commits a massive injustice by trying to pretend that the views of millions of women across this country are meaningless, worthless, or irrelevant to this debate.

Even if you fundamentally disagree with Ms. Fluke's viewpoint on this matter, you should not be afraid to hear it. A hearing stacked with last-minute witnesses who offer no competing views only contributes to the perception that our Committee is fostering a circus-like atmosphere intended to further politicize this debate.

It's like they want to lose in 2012.

Be Well.

A circle-jerk of fundie stupidity. Perfect.

Yet more proof that Rturds hate women.

I wonder if they discussed how this is already law in many states?

Probably not.

Hilarious headline..... Spud! I should have known.

They could not have any actual women in the room. They wanted to discuss Important stuff...like how they will be probing women's vaginas if they even mention the "abortion" word. Would have been awkward!!

Obama commented on the meeting saying "Where 'da the white women"?

"Where are the women?" asked House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

In the unemployment lines?

Republicans are scheming to lose the House in addition to the Presidential election.

everybody knows they were guarding their sons from the Republicans.

We've already heard from the women. They want free stuff. The liberal ones, anyway. So no news there.

Good lord. Buy your own damn condoms, you whiny, skank-ass bitches. They're like twelve bucks for sixty of 'em on Amazon.

Even a broken clock is right twice per day. Nancy is spot on about this. What a dumb fucking tactical error.

What about the husband who refuses to wear condoms and will knock a woman around if she refuses? What do you have for that woman? I mean, after all, she's supposed to "submit" to her husband, isn't she? Isn't that part of the same religious point of view that is anti birth control?

yeah! Hell in my day we'd have em squeeze an aspirin up there and tough it out. Whiny Bitches. The way they act you'd think they think that the Vagina belongs to them or something.

Where are the women? That's easy! I'll be paying several of them to swing on by the resort in about four hours for a few hours of diversion. This is one government entity which is happy to provide contraception!

No citation necessary.

Contraception? What A Bogus Issue.

Example:

My Husband Seldom Ejaculates Inside My Mangina. Instead, He
Normally Performs Coitus Interruptus On My Face, Back Or Chest.

So Easy, Even A Religious Wacko Could Do It.
Reason Number 403: Obama By Landslide In 2012.

Be Well.

"we want respect and equal treatment in this world!...now please pick up the tab on our birth control"- women of the left

It's stunning that there were no women there, but I don't understand why this is being framed as a women's issue. There are an awful lot of men who wouldn't like choosing between abstinence and child support.

I wonder if the GOPpers will have 17 women and no men when discussing the gummint paying for Viagra?

"the perception that our Committee is fostering a circus-like atmosphere"

It's being run by the GOPpers. Circuses is all they know.

When you can not refute the message just shoot the messenger.

Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air.
Send in the clowns.

Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move.
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.

:0 LMFAO!
Did you go out of your way to prove me right Bonerboy? Or are you just a typical myopic appearance driven, non-thinking, bean counting, quota enforcing, self aggrandizing, self loathing libtard that revels in politically correct ignorant group think?

Does anyone claim this libtard?

"Where re the women"???
In the unemployment lines.
Have been aborted by the government.
Aren't interested in the latest lies and snake oil bullshit out of Stretch Pelosi's mouth!
Take your pick.

There were 2 women scheduled for the following hearing. But they are talking about the subject matter of the gov't and religion.

They also wanted Barry Lynn to come and be on the first panel--but he ditched the hearing and failed to show.

This wasn't about contraception--poor Nancy--didn't read the purpose of the hearings.

It was about the gov't and religion--NOT contraception.

Lynn who invented/forced the wall of separation between church and state failed to show up after being invited to the panel. They had a Lutheran a Catholic and a Rabbi.

Yeah, this line: "This wasn't about contraception--poor Nancy--didn't read the purpose of the hearings."

No Phx--

It was --They had a Lutheran a Catholic and a Rabbi.

Usually followed by 'walked into a bar' or 'went fishing' or ....

I stand by my earlier post.

Having been raised Catholic, I can come up with a pretty long list of reasons to be disgusted by the Catholic Church. The fact that the Church is up in arms over contraception after sitting idly by while Catholics' tax dollars funded an unprovoked war in Iraq is making its way up the list, though.

Bottom line is this:
Conservatives pay for Liberal freebies. Got it.
My vagina and my belief in God is free. I love God and I really appreciate my vagina. Now, as far as my vagina goes, I refuse to wear it on my sleeve as a sign of my right to anything free. What is considered "free" according to the current administration is anything that the majority pays for but is unconstitutional and against what we believe. GREAT. See you in the reeducation camps.

The nature of man is liberty and the freedom to pursue his/her own self determination. The nature of government is the control and centralization of power. -patriotwoman23

Hilarious headline..... Spud! I should have known.

TY! ^__^

In case anyone was curious the original headline on this one before being upgraded from Coach to First Class was...

"House Committee Meeting on Contraception a Sausagefest? Inconceivable!"

Had to max out the allotted character space there.

Back on topic for a sec?

Yeah, if it's called health insurance and it doesn't include access to proper birth control then it's not, really.

In Canada not only is BC part of the standard HC package but *gasp* so is abortion.

It just makes sense.

Be Well.

"Pelosi: 'Where Are the Women?'"

LOL. Pelosi is hardly the only person asking this question.
She's a drop in the bucket.

Republicans can't get women? Not exactly front page news. But they could have avoided embarrassment by simply "renting" a few women like they usually do.

The Republican wing of the Taliban is showing it's strength. We fight them in Afghanistan but they,re entrenched here in the US. It's the GOP/taliban way, keep women pregnent, barefoot and subservant. Mayybe throw in a burka or two.

Funny how unattractive the liberal female politicians are. Kind of makes you wonder.... There might be a reason why Conservative women are portrayed as barefoot and pregnant. Because we are the ones that smart men would rather sleep with. Liberal women push sterilization and abortion as a religion of government because they don't want Conservatives to reproduce in mass. Makes sense to me.

You've never looked better...

"What about the husband who refuses to wear condoms and will knock a woman around if she refuses? What do you have for that woman?"

The local police, who will gladly knock some sense into the bastard.

CORRECTION:
"Having been raised Catholic, I can come up with a pretty long list of reasons to be disgusted by the Catholic Church. The fact that the Church is up in arms over contraception after sitting idly by while Catholic Priests sexually harass and diddle young alter boys is shear irony."

to post 41.
There is also a history of sexual abuse of young girls by pedophilic priests and clergy. I think it fits into the the right wing's version of pedophile's being gay when they focus on only young male victims instead of all the victims.
If you do some research on these cases there is always young girls who also have been abused. what bothers me the most that it's accurate to say that the church in most cases have chosen to hide these victims and the abusers by discounting children's testimony and transfering offending clergy to other regions. Usually out of the country where to avoid prosecution.
