Pro life bombing Planned Parenthood? That makes a whole lot of sense if you don’t think about it.

I hate this planet.

Religious mandates against birth control are:

• A violation of equal rights for males and females (treating pregnancy like a special condition is treating females unequally, as the vast majority of females have a reproductive system for pregnancy)
• A violation of the mandates disallowing the government to endorse any particular religion (anti-birth control attitudes are religious)
• Terribly burdensome and viciously punishing to those who have done nothing but have ovaries and uteruses

think-progress:

• Oral contraceptives, or “the pill,” can cost $1,210 per year without health insurance. 
• Women of reproductive age spend 68 percent more on out-of-pocket health care costs than do men, in part because of contraceptive costs.
• Surveys show that nearly one in four women with household incomes of less than $75,000 have put off a doctor’s visit for birth control to save money in the past year.
• Twenty-nine percent of women report that they have tried to save money by using their method inconsistently.
• More than half of young adult women say they have not used their method as directed because it was cost-prohibitive.
• Nearly half of women ages 18–34 with household incomes less than $75,000 report they need to delay or limit their childbearing because of economic hardships they’ve experienced in recent years.

A MAJOR WIN for women’s health!

Not. Cool. Keep your religion off others’ health decisions. If there is any reason whatsoever you would not provide treatment to your patient, then you are a disgrace to your profession.

Oh yeah, how did I forget in my last ask to mention that these fucking places get federal funding?

They’re nothing but religious propaganda machines posing as medical facilities. And here we have federally funded conversion? FUCK. YOU. READ THE FUCKING FIRST AMENDMENT.

Lest anyone remain under the delusion that these people are actually pro-“life”

How is this even legal? They’re purposefully putting these doctors’ lives in danger.
