I will never fully understand how a medical issue became a political issue. I mean, I understand, I am not an idiot, but the fact that women's healthcare is debateable among a group of people that barely understand the female anatomy let alone the vast number of things that can go wrong in utero is proof of just how damn gullible the vast majority of the electorate is. Can we discuss erectile dysfunction? Can we put access to "the little blue pill" on the ballot? Can we start talking about the little spermatazoa that go by the wayside as "a tragedy"?

It has ALWAYS been about political power and controllingh women. Man I hope they get crushed in November!

It’s not just controlling women. The original religious arguments against women’s health care included Church rulings on pain relief during childbirth — they were against, as women were to bear the curse of Eve, even unto death in or as a result of child birth. So it’s not just about controlling women. It’s about making us suffer.
