It's creepy that old gray-haired Congressmen are trying to control our reproduction

When you think about it. The old men of congress are trying to take control of our personal business - basically want to take over our reproductive systems. It's very creepy! Ugh!

That's exactly the word I have been using. I was discussing this issue on a forum the other day that has some wingnutty males on it and I was saying I thought it was creepy. They actually agreed! A couple of them even apologized to me. When I came into the thread, it was mostly older men discussing birth control and abortion and I told them I thought that was creepy, too, but not as creepy as the government getting involved in issues that should be between a woman and her doctor.

Keep the creepy, authoritarian, Daddy State Republicans out of my uterus!

My reproductive decisions are mine alone to make in concert with my doctor and after consultation with my partner.

What is even scarier than the old men in Congress getting in my personal business is the young men in Congress and the women who should know better.
