This video of John McCain is truly incredible. The simple answer should have been that insurance companies should, indeed, cover birth control pills. But McCain was incoherent. This is not the first time McCain has shown profound ignorance on birth control and sexuality. Here's the Straight-Talk Express at work:

    The problem is that he is trying to hold onto the radical right, which wants to outlaw all effective birth control. See also, here, regarding the political positions on birth control pushed by those bastions of misinformation, "Pregnancy Resource Centers," which dot the land, often well-funded by tax dollars. The Republicans are controlled by those who believe that they should control when and how you feel sexual pleasure.

    Also check out McCain's ignorance on the relationship between condom use and HIV:

    As you can see, then, even when you set aside the issue of abortion, Republicans are further determined to tell you if, when and how to get pregnant. How can they not see that this should be a decision left to individuals? The answer is that Republicans are pandering to the radical "religious" Right.

      "Republicans are pandering to the radical 'religious' Right."

      And Karl Rove is at the helm, to incite hysteria at election-time for greatest effect at energizing the indoctrinated--a proven formula. Will they buy it yet a 3rd time?!

        McSenile obviously needs more lessons from George Bush's speech coach.

        This poor old fool has difficulty finding his way to the bathroom, and once he does, he can't remember what he is supposed to be doing there!

        "condom use and HIV"

        This story give the condoms an 80% prevention rating. I say things like that and all the liberals start saying it isn't so. What that means is if a person has sex with an HIV person 5 times it is very likely they will get the disease. What good protection you safe sex fools promote. That is worse than the consumer reports normal use statistics for condoms. Of course it leaves out that some STD's go right through a condom so they are no protection at all for those diseases.

        Good subject to bring up Rickey. How bad condoms are. Think about the statistics you are promoting.

        He'll have to talk to Bush & his campaign handlers to get the right position on that issue and any other.
