“I don’t think Mr. Issa (Republican Congressman Darrell Issa) has ever taken birth control. Where they are totally missing the boat is that women in America don’t see birth control as a social issue. It’s a health care issue. The average American woman spends five years getting pregnant and having kids and then she spends an average of 30 years trying not to get pregnant.”

President Obama About as Responsible for the Price of Gas as Chocolate | Kwei Quartey
Sometimes called the “food of the gods,” chocolate comes from the “beans” – actually the seeds - of the cocoa pod. West African countries Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire produce about 70 percent of the world’s cocoa. However when you bite into a bar of chocolate, you can’t tell the origin of the cocoa beans that produced it. All you think about is how sweet, delicious and flavorful the chocolate is. In the same way that chocolate comes from the processing of cocoa, gas comes from the refining of crude oil. When you fill your vehicle’s gas tank, you can’t say that the gas originated from Nigeria as against Saudi Arabia. All you know is that the gas enables your car to run.
These similarities are pointed out to demonstrate that, as physically different as chocolate and gas may be, they are both commodity goods. A commodity has full or partial fungibility; that is, the market treats it as equivalent or nearly so no matter who produces it. Other examples are coffee, copper, and sugar. The most striking feature of all of these is that their price is largely influenced by world commodity markets and is dependent on factors such as global supply and demand, political instability, and the economies of producer countries. For example, if for one reason or another there were a massive cocoa crop failure in either Ghana or Côte d’Ivoire, there isn’t a single country in the world that could step in to replace the deficit, and chocolate prices would be sure to rise. Don’t for a moment imagine that the major chocolate producers like Mars are not concerned about such a scenario.
In the same manner, manipulations by OPEC or the present worries about Iran can cause a rise in gas prices [or speculation by major financial institutions, ed.]. President Obama is about as responsible for the price of gas as he is the price of chocolate. There is little or nothing he can do about either one.Crude oil prices affect gas prices, and neither the United States nor its President play a significant role these days in determining the price of crude oil. It is the height of deceit for Republicans to suggest that President Obama’s energy policies are “causing” the rise in gas prices. Think about that the next time you have a Hershey’s Kiss.

“If anything, women have shown in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that they are not only fully capable; they have excelled. They have saved many men’s lives. And it did not damage unit cohesion. And if Rick Santorum doesn’t believe that, then he can volunteer, enlist, put on a uniform, and put his butt on the line and try it himself. He’s playing politics. He is saying something inflammatory because he thinks he’s going to get a certain population to give him money, and it’s a shame because America’s daughters are just as capable of doing their jobs as America’s sons, whether that’s at home as doctors and attorneys or in combat as convoy commanders. This is the 21st century. Get over yourself.”

Yep, while there are always exceptions, it holds pretty true statistically. You tend to inherit your religion from your family.
And they all have the same reasoning for believing in their specific religion. Question authority — I really can’t say it enough.
Question everything.

USA TODAY: Obama business tax reform would cut corporate taxes, close tax loopholes, require companies to pay tax on foreign profits and reduce manufacturing taxes; all Republicans hear is "close tax loopholes."

“Thousands of children are deprived of birth in this state every year because of the lack of state regulation over vasectomies,” said Rep. Yasmin Neal, author of the bill. “It is patently unfair that men can avoid unwanted fatherhood by presuming that their judgment over such matters is more valid than the judgment of the General Assembly, while women’s ability to decide is constantly up for debate throughout the United States.”
source:
Democratic women in GA seek a state ban on vasectomies.
This is an actual bill they are proposing to point out the wrongness of the constant stream of abortion restrictions and bans being proposed. Mostly it highlights the hypocrisy of forcing restrictions on women “for the babeez” but not doing the same thing to men.
