This seems like an issue that was decided long, long ago. I can't believe that Rick Santorum and the Catholic bishops would raise this today. Working women, women who claim equality, women whose babies are more likely to survive for a longer time than ever before, need to have access to birth control.

Opponents of birth control are Neanderthals. Ridiculous.
