During a speech he gave at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting in Washington, former Arkansas Governor and current Fox News puppet Mike Huckabee said this:
"I think it's time Republicans no longer accept listening to the Democrats talk about a 'war on women. The Fact is the Republicans don't have a war on women, they have a war for women, to empower them to be something other than victims of their gender. ... If the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it. Let's take that discussion all across America."
Yes, let's take that discussion all across America, Mike. You can claim you're fighting a war for women, all the while attempting to take away their rights, and then for the topper, you can insinuate that women can't control their libido, which is the lone reason for them to take birth-control pills in the first place. I, meanwhile, will tell women they should have their rights expanded, that as a man, I shouldn't have a right to tell them what is best for their bodies, and will illustrate that I'm better educated on the subject by mentioning statistics with regard to women and birth control. For example, close to 60% take birth-control pills for reasons other than pregnancy prevention (or in addition to it). Let's take that conversation on the road and see what women think of the two angles. Call it a hunch, but I have a feeling they'd prefer mine over yours.
What Mr. Huckabee, Rush Limbaugh, and many like-minded individuals don't seem to understand is, just because a woman uses birth-control, that doesn't mean she's promiscuous or even sexually-active. Birth-control pills are used for far more reasons than simply pregnancy prevention. They can be used to treat endometriosis, to help regulate their cycles, etc. I've known virgins whom have been prescribed birth-control pills. Call it a hunch, but I'm not thinking they were promiscuous. In other words, they used these pills for health reasons. What Mike Huckabee and a handful of other Republicans have showcased this week is that they're ignorant about women and women's bodies. They may want to go back to college to take (perhaps re-take) a few courses, such as: Sex ed, anatomy, critical thinking, etc., because they seem to be lacking in education with regard to women like an introverted clown lacks in hot dates.
"...If the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it..."
No, Mike, women obviously can't control their libido. That's obviously why, around Christmas time, you see 95% of them rush out to buy their husbands Viagra...
