It's really incredible how Republicans have ignored a lot of talk about the economy and focused so much on restricting access to reproductive health care.

LOL @ political rhetoric.

Opposing the subsidization of consumption =/= "restricting access." I'm opposed to subsidizing the consumption of Maseratis and foie gras and Old Navy cargo shorts and Arby's Horsey Sauce. Does that mean I'm trying to limit Doug RR's access to the finer things in life, and lennytheweedwhacker's access to the coarser things in life?

State lawmakers set a record in 2011 for the most anti-reproductive rights provisions enacted in a single year, according to a new report from the Guttmacher Institute.

Legislators introduced more than 1,100 provisions in 2011, and enacted 135 of them. To help put this in perspective, 89 such provisions were enacted in 2010, 77 in 2009, and only 34 in 2005.

As detailed by Laura Bassett on the Huffington Post, last year’s legislation included:

* “Fetal pain” laws that ban abortion after 20 weeks (in conflict with Roe. v Wade, which allows until about 24 weeks);
* Laws that require physicians to perform, show, and describe an ultrasound to a woman;
* Mandatory waiting periods and counseling (which make it tough for women who are poor or live in rural areas to access abortions);
* Provisions prohibiting insurance policies from covering abortion except in cases of life endangerment;
* And new regulations on abortion clinics, such as hallway-width and dressing room requirements, and covered-entrance mandates (which make it physically or financially impossible for many abortion clinics to remain open).

I tried to share a joint with the corduroy_blazer account once. He flat out refused.

I can understand this logic, and I may agree with a lot of it. However, if you're going to subsidize a sector, let's at least be consistent about it. Nitpicking something like contraception is silly without all the even sillier rhetoric that comes from people afraid of people having sex.
