"Liberal media" fail
Dear New York Times:
When reporting on something like the possibility of the government requiring insurers to cover birth control, can you please not use a Southern Poverty Law Center-labeled hate group and a group of religiously supposedly-celibate men who have no fucking clue what it's like to be female as a source of "opposition" in this incessant need to be "balanced"? These people are not interested in an honest debate when it comes to women's lives and health, they are interested in womb control and fetus-fetish.
And seriously? I know you wouldn't allow the KKK and other white supremacist groups a platform. It is equally not okay to give a platform to misogynists and homophobes. They are bigots too. The end.
No love,

And as for the anti-choice ignoramuses in question:
“Pregnancy is not a disease to be prevented, nor is fertility a pathological condition,” said Deirdre A. McQuade, a spokeswoman for the bishops’ Pro-Life Secretariat. “So birth control is not preventive care, and it should not be mandated.”
As someone who suffers from fibroids and the fun pain they cause with my medical history, a big FUCK YOU goes to you, bitch and your bosses. Birth control does NOT just prevent pregnancy. It has medicinal purposes as well for those of us women who are forced to suffer from the Periods From Hell otherwise. My mom was about ANEMIC before she was placed on the Pill in the months leading up to her hysterectomy. You are seriously suggesting that she should have bled to death? Seriously, fuck you people.
And an even further "fuck you" for the fact that we live in a secular society. Not all of us believe in your version of religion. I know I don't.
