I will never forget this picture: Congressional Hearing on Women's Birth Control

[Honeycombe8]

Here's the panel of witnesses:




Here's the congressMAN who convened the hearing:



Looks more like 1950 than a decade into the 21st century. This is sooooo scary to me, that this would actually be OKAY to a political party.

[spanone]

1. looks like a council from the crusades

[asjr]

2. Issa has that Mussolini smirk down pat!

[klook]

3. The Penis Monologues (n/t)

[eppur_se_muova]

7. Well ... more like dickhead. nt

[klook]

8. That's for sure

Unbelievable, their shameless attempts to roll back the clock of progress at every opportunity.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. They don't have vaginas (pic)

... but they get excited at the idea of Trans-Vaginal Probes.

[CBHagman]

12. What kills me about the GOP...

...is that they would confer rights on a fertilized egg, but just when a single mother pushes out the baby, they lose interest in that kid's health care, and future.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. You mean like this? (pic)

[CBHagman]

14. But wait! There's more.

Republicans like to paint the Affordable Care Act as a government takeover of medical care, with bureaucrats coming between patients and their doctors. But the GOP evidently hasn't had a problem with insurance companies moving the goal posts once someone has enrolled in a plan, or cutting off a patient during chemotherapy.

And the Republicans are only too ready to bring your boss, your clergyman, and your congressman through the examining room door to call the shots.

[Honeycombe8]

17. Yes! Exactly. The government IN my vagina! I guess I really WOULD care if it were BIG govt, then.nt

[CBHagman]

18. That's practically a t-shirt slogan.

[klook]

15. The Republican platform is pro-BIRTH, not "Pro-Life" (n/t)

[Jim__]

4. Isn't that the hearing where they refused to allow Sandra Fluke to testify?

What could she know about women's health issues?

[Lucy Goosey]

5. Well, she obviously couldn't know as much as the celibate priest

[longship]

6. Why aren't they wearing their collars, cossets, and funny hats?

Just wondering.

[CBHagman]

9. Sandra Fluke had a line in tonight's speech...

...about the other party wanting those who never use contraception to decide whether women are permitted to!

[rgbecker]

10. Great speech tonight.

[lunatica]

16. You forgot to include this

[Cleita]

19. Issa, IMHO, is a corrupt person and probably a criminal too.

I hope one of these days some investigator uncovers all the dirt he is involved in and is able to get enough evidence together to put him in prison for a very long time.
