A is for Aspirin and ASS.

It's beginning to feel a lot like the 1950's for women these days. Case in point, Foster Friess. He's the primary supporter of a pro-Santorum super political action committee.
He  suggested on MSNBC that women use Bayer aspirin as a contraceptive.  Wow. 

“This contraceptive thing, my gosh, it’s so expensive,” he told host Andrea Mitchell.
“Back in my days, they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.”


In case your not completely clear on Satorum's view on contraception:

Santorum has said that he is "not a believer in birth control" and believes it is "harmful" to both women and society. 

And in October, Santorum discussed the "dangers" of contraception with an evangelical blog.
"Many in the Christian faith have said, 'Well, that's okay. Contraception's okay," he said. "It's not okay because it's a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be. They're supposed to be within marriage, they are supposed to be for purposes that are, yes, conjugal, but also [inaudible], but also procreative. That's the perfect way that a sexual union should happen."




 
Watch and Scream.

Advise for the 1950's housewife.
Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival home is not the time. Let him talk first – remember his topics of conversation are more important that yours.





"Just as nightfall doesn’t come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances there is a twilight. And it is in such twilight that we all must be aware of the change in the air—however slight—lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."
Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas

    Jane,

    I had watched this on MSNBC and you should have seen Andrea Mitchell's face when he said this! She was STUNNED, almost to the point of stuttering. I was as equally shocked as she was! I told husband "Well, how would he know that aspirin between the knees was used as contraception unless he was of the type that tried to remove the aspirin between her legs? LOL LOL

    Honestly, I feel like women are being challenged once again. First Planned Parenthood, now this...it has become a constant battle for women to keep what rights we have. I say there is power in numbers and if enough women speak out we can shut them down! I have signed (3) petitions and would sigh 100 if I had too!

a different kind of pop art

* dad , daddy , pa , papa, pop *my pop is the father of six girls and a self taught artist. One of my first memories of his art is a mural he did in charcoal on a large red wall in our living room. It was a stagecoach with horses, it seemed to jump off the wall into the room.  I loved it. He also created  a barn 'look' on the second floor landing of our house. Complete with split rail fencing used for the stair rail - the only thing between us and certain death was termite ridden timber. But, it looked fabulous! Our house had only one bathroom and with seven females in the house including my Mom, you can imagine how my Dad felt the need to make his mark (so to speak) in the one room he really had no control over. T hus, began our summer spent retrieving rocks from the river; for what would become the most famous bathroom in town. It was a good size room with a long wall of mirrors, a claw foot tub, the essential toilet and a window.  Pop's idea was to

Put 'em Up! Unless you've been sequestered in your home with no TV, radio, or Internet you know the nation's leading breast-cancer charity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, has announced that it will end its longtime partnership with the Planned Parenthood.  Komen has been criticized in the past for donating to Planned Parenthood. The official response has always been that, despite the controversy surrounding some of its programs, the organization was the only one working to provide breast-health services to women in need in dozens of communities around the United States. Why the change of heart?  Officials cited a new internal policy that makes any organization under official investigation ineligible for grant money.  Um, Really? Let's look at a few of the players involved and you decide.  Americans United for Life President Charmaine Yoest . It’s her group that issued a report last fall, “ The Case for Investigating Planned Par
