Steve King Rails Against Right to Privacy, Laments That States Cannot Outlaw Contraceptives
Rep. Steve King (R-IA) today appeared on WallBuilders Live with David Barton and Rick Green. King rather incredibly described Green as a “constitutional scholar” and lamented the “manufactured, judicial activist right to privacy” protected in Griswold v. Connecticut. King also bemoaned that inability of states to outlaw contraceptives and even said that King George would not have had the “audacity” of President Obama to mandate that insurance companies cover contraceptives as part of his compromise policy with religiously-affiliated organizations. Green even dubbed the policy “totalitarianism.”
Transcript and audio at the link. Expect to see more of this in the future, as more states consider anti-choice bills that would include banning forms of contraception.
