Bayer with Us... Foster Friess on Contraception
Ted Miller is the director of communications and online advocacy strategies for NARAL Pro-Choice America
On the same day as the all-XY chromosome panel on contraception, the Sugar Daddy (as ThinkProgress calls him) of a Super PAC supporting Rick Santorum made a vile comparison between birth-control pills and Bayer aspirin.
The guy, Foster Friess, told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell that, "back in my days, they used Bayer aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees, and it wasn't that costly."
Oh, rest assured, all is better now, because Friess apologized via a blog post with this headline: "For those who misunderstood my joke today, here's my quest for forgiveness..." (Friess' website disappeared somehow, but a number of sites recorded his statement for posterity.)
Okay, so we just misunderstood you, Mr. Friess. It's not you, it's us.
Well, that kinda says it all, doesn't it? Contraception is a punchline, not a critical part of women's health.

Uh huh. The boys will get to joke about it after they have waited day after day after day for their period. After they have sat on that toilet seat praying, 'Please Jesus, please Jesus, please Jesus, let me bleed.' Then we will see how friggin' funny they think this matter is. After they have been with someone who wants no children but will not have a vasectomy, when they have no health insurance and has to deal with the rising costs of birth control every month. You can joke about it then you dicks.
I am so pleased to know that all these GOP things were virgins when they married.
These men are idiots and if any woman, votes for any of them, then you need to have your voter card revoked and your a$$ put back into the kitchen.
I am so disgusted at the comments that come form these men, I can only sympathize with their wives and daughters for putting up with this retro attitude and off the cuff remarks they are making.
Can't get it up? Take a fucking aspirin Mr. Friess
A group of my friends and I are proposing to: Send only new bottles (or packets) of aspirin to:
Rick Santorum for President
PO Box 37
Verona, PA 15147
Some of us may attach a note saying "These are for your daughters, granddaughters and other girls in your family who need free birth control pills. Any you may have left over can be sent to your pal, Foster Friess."
The only way women will earn the right to control their own bodies is to revolt against any church that wants to deny you your rights of contraception protection, disease protection, rights of an abortion, the morning after pill or family planning education.
The best way to revolt is to deny these people financial and moral support. Stop attending church, church functions and stop the money.
If your spouse does not support your effort for freedom, stop all sexual support.
This event will be the catalyst that brings the real 'issues' to light that distinguish between both parties. Hopefully, this will create the long over due dialouges on behalf of women's rights to choose and be in control of their own health. For once and for all. I have zero patience now for anymore of this type BS from this gang of white suprem gop boys. Let's bring their dunce down and put him, Santorium and his religious base in his rightful place. On another planet where they can live without the company of women who are all too hot for them anyway. Or, In the dog house ,-the old one the dog no longer uses!

Apparently a lot has changed since Mr Friess
last had sex.
Can Bayer sue Freiss for damages?
Could Bayer sue Friess for the slip?
My favorite take on birth-control has always been: If men got pregnant and gave birth, no family would have more than one child.
When men grow reproductive systems and anti-choice women grow brains, then they came talk to me about contraceptives and abortion rights.
I think the men should have to swear to keep "it" in their pants or always use a condum. But the issue is health not abortion. No man should be allowed any kind of "health" prevention. What's good for the goose, good for the gander.
