Anti-choice advocate admits to Joy Reid her ultimate goal is to make birth control illegal

"SNIP...........

An interview on the women’s march in Washington last week took a bizarre turn when an anti-choice advocate told MSNBC host Joy Reid that birth control — including the pill and IUD’s — should be made illegal because they kill babies.

Following a considerable amount of cross-talk over services that Planned Parenthood provides with Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life, host Reid pulled her panel up and said she wanted to talk about something everyone could agree on: that contraception should be legal.

Not everyone was in agreement.

“I believe certain forms can be legal, yes,” Hawkins agreed, adding, “I don’t believe abortion causing contraception should be legal.”

“What kind of contraception are you talking about?” Reid asked, with Hawkins replying, “Hormonal contraception.”

They are just fine if men get their little blue pills and fuck everything in sight both literally and figuratively. Women who have sex - whether they do it at the behest of men, willingly or unwillingly, by their own choice or by force - must be punished.

This woman would probably agree with Bernarda Alba to 'heap burning coals on the place of their desire.'

do not ejaculate into a woman will get put into prison also. Oh, lets make it against the law for men to sleep with woman unable to have children to. Oh, if a woman can not have children and she sleeps with that man she should also go to prison for helping him kill those children. I know what I just said sounds stupid but what she said sounds just as stupid.

I was shocked several years ago when a female neighbor friend who goes to a local Presbyterian Church of America (conservative) espoused the belief that women should not use birth control. (Even though I was raised Catholic, I didnt realize modern fundies' goal is to eliminate birth control) Of course, I told her I was shocked that any woman could go along with churches and politicians that want to take away their control over their own bodies

always. It's about controlling women's sex lives through coercion and ensuring the highest possible risk factors exist for women who wish to enjoy a sex life beyond being brood mares for the state.

If you haven't read 1984, spoiler alert, the entire story revolves around the main character having an illicit affair. The goal is to control people at very basic levels of their existence.

And she was so rude, constantly talking back as the other guests talked, even after Joy told her to stop doing that. These types think we should have to have a child resulting from rape. Of course they is not fair to either.

She needs to take a course on manners at the very least.
