Republicans May Need To "Borrow Putin's Balls" To Get The Job Done

This is weak sauce:

House Republicans have added a measure aimed at limiting contraceptive coverage to the spending bill coming up for a vote Saturday night [...]

The so-called “conscience clause” would allow employers and insurers to opt out of preventative care for women which they find objectionable on moral or religious grounds. That prominently includes birth control, which most insurers are required to provide for free under current Obamacare rules.


Contraception coverage is the best they can do? What about abortions? Do they need to borrow Putin’s balls to get the job done? What will it take for them to take the hard votes? Primary all these RINOs, I say.
