Meet 11 Anti-Choice Politicians Who Oppose No-Cost Birth Control
Have you heard that Hobby Lobby, a chain of arts-and-crafts stores, is still trying to refuse to provide insurance coverage for its employees' birth control?
Even after a federal judge ruled that Hobby Lobby must comply with the birth-control policy under Obamacare, the company wasted no time in appealing the decision.
It's certainly ridiculous to see a private company try to impose its bosses' beliefs on its employees. But now, 11 extreme anti-choice politicians have signed a brief arguing that Hobby Lobby should be able to do just that:
- Sen. Dan Coats (R-Ind.)
- Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.)
- Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho)
- Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa)
- Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah)
- Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.)
- Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)
- Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.)
- Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.)
- Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas)
- Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.)
What makes these guys so bad? For starters, every one of these extreme anti-choice politicians has voted against women's reproductive freedom.
Every politician on this list has voted to defund Planned Parenthood and cut Title X family-planning programs.
And every senator on this list voted for legislation allowing bosses to deny their employees birth-control coverage.
Affordable birth control allows us to control our own lives and write our future. That's why every time we get closer to achieving contraceptive coverage for nearly all American women, anti-choice politicians up their legislative attacks.
Tell these anti-choice politicians to focus more on their Hobby Lobby projects like popsicle-stick birdhouses and scrapbooking. They should leave important reproductive-health care decisions to women and their families.

Hey boys,
Plan B does not cause abortions. It prevents them. The science is behind this. Get your facts straight.
Dr. Cain
How can you allow an employer to dictate which medical treatment a woman needs?
Your boss should not be interjecting his personal opinions on medical treatment into the decision made by you and your doctor. That is dictatorship. That's completely unAmerican.
Women will never be free until they are free to make their own medical decisions without the interference of strangers, politicians, and religions. Using contraception is being responsible, so why would an employer want to interfere with a woman being responsible?
Thank you for being eyes and ears on the politics of oppression women are (still!) subject to. George Sand wrote: "Humanity is outraged in me and with me". I am outraged that they dare make our bodies into issues of legal debate.

No cost birth control is an opportunity for women, we still behind of it. Some politicians come oppose to it, they have logic, but keep in mind that it is an error free mission.
Viagra as a recreational drug - In some men, Viagra can cause
mild-to-moderate temporary side effects such as headaches, blurred vision, stuffy nose, and
facial flushing. The skyrocketing cost of Viagra
and other medications has affected a lot of people, which
is why online pharmacies have come to the
picture, but these pharmacies too suffer from their own share of problems.
In addition to anxiety and depression, there
is also the feeling of paranoia that many men can feel.
