The Anti-Sex Party

It’s evident that Republicans tend to have some pretty colorful ids behind those God-fearing suppressed libidos, and that’s why their leaders continue to play to that base with the usual anti-woman, sex-a-phobic shenanigans:
But for those trained to hear the subtleties, Mr. Romney was acknowledging something more. He implied an opposition to the birth control pill and a willingness to join in their efforts to scale back access to contraception. There are code phrases to listen for - and for those keeping score, Mr. Romney nailed each one.
One code phrase is: “I fought to define life as beginning at conception rather than at the time of implantation.” The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists defines pregnancy as starting at implantation, the first moment a pregnancy can be known. Anti-abortion advocates want pregnancy to start at the unknown moment sperm and egg meet: fertilization. They’d also like you to believe, despite evidence to the contrary, that the birth control pill prevents that fertilized egg from implanting in the womb.
Mr. Romney’s code, deciphered, meant, “I, like you, hope to reclassify the most commonly used forms of contraceptives as abortions.” In fact, he told the crowd, he already had some practice redefining contraception: “I vetoed a so-called emergency contraception bill that gave young girls abortive drugs without prescription or parental consent.”
Whew! Thank God Mitt got over that far-too-long, just-until-recently pro-choice phase. Because, as we know, women are sluts and whores who must be forced to pay for their play.
If you know what I mean.
We just need to start making signs with…”Romney thinks women are stupid” and start marching around his rallies…when asked as you are sure to be asked about the meaning simply say….”Romney believes women are incapable of making their own decisions.” Nothing more, let him squirm…and this works on any pro-lifer.

He hasn’t got so far along in his thinking to realize that this theory makes God himself guilty of being the greatest abortionist ever by His being responsible for as many fertilized eggs not getting implanted as are implanted.
well damn, Suze, it really would induce one to believe that they really are all about sex, and the prevention of unlicensed sex.
Still the same old backlash to the 60s and all that nooky we got and they didn’t.
The ultimate hidden agenda, emerging into the daylight after years of hiding behind the smokescreen of dead babies.
Being forced to bear the unwanted child as the penalty for engaging in unlicensed sex. Crime and punishment.
