“If a woman then wants birth control, go work somewhere else.”

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R) has a simple solution for women who work for religious institutions that refuse to cover birth control: Find a new job.

During a call-in show on C-SPAN Monday morning, a woman named Doris from Osawatomie, Kansas told Brownback that she was worried that he wanted to turn back the clock on women’s rights.

“No, goodness,” Brownback replied. “That’s not true.”

“That’s not denying women’s rights,” he insisted. “If a woman then wants birth control, go work somewhere else.”

1. Obviously, he doesn't understand the current econoy

It isn't that easy to just find another job

2. hey, let's ban abortions, too! if a woman wants one, she's free to go to a back alley, right?

see? that's not denying women's rights, either!

spouse beating you up? you're free to find a different spouse!

boss paying you $0.70 on the dollar? you're free to find a more generous boss!

boss harassing you sexually? you're free to quit!

hey, why not just put an end to women voting entirely? they're still free to leave the country!


they're all about freedom, those wacky republicans!

3. If a church group wants a Religious Consience, go get funding somewhere else...

5. IF this Moran never gets another women's vote he can "go work somewhere else.”

7. Or maybe these institutions would prefer to discriminate

based on religious beliefs before they hire women? How 'bout that?
