frosty freeze's full comment even more insulting than just the "aspirin" segment
we have been incensed about the "aspirin between the knees" comment, with good reason. however, was just watching "democracy now" , with amy interviewing sandra fluke and rep. eleanor holmes norton.
while speaking with rep. norton, amy played a clip of frosty's comment--and I heard the part just preceeding it, which is a complete insult to women:
AMY GOODMAN: Congress Member Eleanor Holmes Norton, in an interview yesterday on MSNBC, the top donor to Rick Santorum’s super PAC, Foster Friess, said contraception doesn’t have to be costly, well, he said, because women can use aspirin for birth control. Asked if he thought Santorum’s position on contraception would hurt his viability in a general election, this is what he said:
FOSTER FRIESS: I get such a chuckle when these things come out. Here we have millions of our fellow Americans unemployed. We have jihadist camps being set up in Central—in Latin America, which Rick has been warning about. And people seem to be so preoccupied with sex. I think it says something about our culture. We maybe need a massive therapy session so we can concentrate on what the real issues are. And this contraceptive thing—my gosh, it’s so—it’s such inexpensive. You know, back in my days, they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees, and it wasn’t that costly.

so, women, quit whining--after all, your health, your well-being, are of NO IMPORTANCE compared to the jihadist camps in central america. YOU DON"T COUNT.
