Look who this SOB contributes to....nuff said.
Billionaire and Republican donor, Foster Friess, wants to take America back to the 1950s. But he's not talking about hula hoops, letter sweaters, or saddle shoes.
He's talking about access to contraceptives.
"Back in my day, they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn't that costly." - Foster Friess
An utter disregard for women's health and lives, yes. Surprising, no.
Friess' attitude on women's birth control access is consistent with the candidates he supports, including Scott Walker. That's right, Foster Friess is a $100,000 contributor to Scott Walker. Scott Walker personally opposes contraception, has eliminated funding for birth control programs, proposed to take away insurance coverage of birth control, and supports a constitutional amendment to outlaw birth control.
Stand with Planned Parenthood. Make a contribution today to help us fight back against the likes of Foster Friess and Scott Walker who continue to play politics with women's health.
Working together we can end the political attack on women's health care and restore funding for women's access to essential breast and cervical cancer screens, birth control and STD care at Planned Parenthood health centers. With your support we can ensure that women and their families make health care decisions, not politicians.
Stand with us in demanding a return to the priorities we all share--protecting the health, rights and economic well-being of Wisconsinites. Donate today.
Sincerely,
Tanya Atkinson
Executive Director

I have always felt the reason for the government wanting more children born is (1) more competition for jobs and therefore, lower wages and (2) how can you fight a war (or two) without soldiers as cannon fodder? They are not interested in people being secure.

Re Issa's (almost) Boys Club meeting on contraception: Can we have an all girls hearing re Viagra on the Hill next? We should probably start by calling on a panel of nuns to testify. We will call it 'Nuns on Viagra Before Congress'.

In Mexico you can not only buy the pill but you can get an abortion as well. During the 60's before Roe v Wade many religions sponsored Doctors in Mexico to deliver safe abortions to women from the states. In US it was a felony in Mexico it was a misdimeanor(spelling?)

Sorry, the law must have been changed in Mexico just like they are trying to do here in the US. When I last worked for Problem Pregnancies (a bunch of physicians and churches) a group trying to provide safe abortions to US women in the 60's it was only a misdemeaner (spelling). I guess now they want to replace all the people that are being beheaded now.

I hope your mother lived through that ordeal. My mom in the 40's put a suppository of bichloride mercury (google it) in her vagina because she was told it would cause her to abort. I found that a lot of women did that. Well it killed her after it ate her insides out over a 9 day period. I was 1 year old. Boy that law against womens health really worked didn't it?. In the 50's most young women would jump off bridges to end their problems.

I just love it when seasoned interviewers are rendered speachless in the wake of a brainless off the cuff comment which is of course what the idiots they are interviewing really think. This contraception thing is on the "girls" ya know. If it weren't for the girls we wouldn't have these perplexing problems of contraception, abortion and rape.

Just what do Muslims have to do with this issue, except to imply that Obama is a Muslim. Also, he doesn't even know what Santorum stands for. He denied that Santorum would ban contraceptives, when there is tape of him saying exactly that. He is just another empty suit trying to buy the election, thinking it will give him more power.
