Sooooo glad President Obama compromised...

.. on the birth control issue.

I'm watching the "news" and hearing about how the Catholic bishops are mulling over whether it's good enough.

Those Medieval fuckers are going to decide if Obama will have to further kiss their asses!

Let's see... it's the 21st Century, and we compromise with a 14th Century outlook on birth control....

Hey... that puts us in about the 18th Century....

Yay us....we're in the 18th Century.

Shit!

They don't believe in birth control? Fine. They don't have to pay the insurance company to cover it, but the women they employ are still going to have free access to it. So what are they mulling over? What's not good enough? They didn't want to pay for it, so they don't have to. They got what they wanted ... or at least what the claim they wanted. The longer they mull it over to decide if it's good enough, the more they reveal their true agenda: control over women's reproductive health and sex lives.

or admit that they just want to deprive women who want it of affordable birth control.
