Putting aspirin between your legs, if you're a woman, is a form of "abstinence, which is still a form of birth control" KFKA talk-show host Devon Lentz says.
A spring awash with Etch A Sketch conservatives, camera-wielding GOP con men and a bogus deficit reduction budget from House Republicans shows that for the right, wrong is justified when it achieves the desired results.

The Tennessee anti-abortion bill is yet another assault on women's rights, because yes, they are rights ever since the Supreme Court decided so in Roe v. Wade. This country has had this argument already. Why does it need to have it again?
Pro choice is pro life. It's pro life in the affirmative sense of making sure your life doesn't end up a cascade of tragedy heaped on your disabled child, your unintended child, yourself, your family, your immediate community and your government.
Conservative groups in particular found power and leverage with so-called wedge issues such as abortion and gay marriage in the past. With contraception, however, they've awoken the sleeping giant voting majority who don't want their ovaries to be debated.
