GOP Family Planning:

No sex-ed beyond “abstinence-only” fantasy nonsense
No education on birth control
No access to birth control, and no insurance coverage for it either
No emergency contraception
No abortions unless a woman is willing to be slut-shamed in the process

Yeah. That’ll work. =P

You forgot No more IUDs!! (At least in Ohio)

Can someone enlighten me on one aspect of this? Please see the bolded part…

This week, without any public testimony, Republicans on the Ohio House Health and Aging Committee voted along party lines to prohibit Ohio physician assistants from fitting, inserting or removing a device “designed in such a manner that it functions either solely or in combination with other functions by preventing or hindering an embryo from implanting within the uterus or from growing if implantation occurs.”

If IUDs are evil, why would the law prohibit removing them? I don’t get it.
