Foster Friess, Santorum backer, jokes about using aspirin as birth control

Foster Friess, the wealthy investor bankrolling a super PAC for GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum, appeared on MSNBC Thursday to argue that social issues are largely irrelevant.

If he wanted to take focus away from Santorum's recent remarks about birth control and premarital sex, however, he didn’t succeed.

“This contraception thing, my gosh, it's so inexpensive,” Friess told host Andrea Mitchell. “You know, back in my days, they'd use Bayer aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn't that costly.”

Comments like this, blocking the Violence Against Women act and the judicial nominee who wrote it, blocking contraceptives, suggesting women are too emotional for the military, are all coordinated efforts to block human progress in general and women's rights specifically.

8. I think you're right. But after the victory on the poor, who was left?

Women are the natural remaining target.

9. I believe him, but not in the general case

I think that, in high school and/or college, when he tried to get laid, women told him they couldn't because they had an aspirin stuck between their legs, and he believed it. More than once. I can just imagine them spreading the story.
