This particular session is the Romney version. Rachel Maddow hosts a man-cave session so that the male politicians understand female parts, pregnancy and birth control and how legislation that defines life beginning at conception or fertilization will outlaw contraception. It could even make miscarriage suspicious and open to investigation by authorities.

Mitt Romney is not the only person who is agreeing to legislation he really doesn’t understand. Most people don’t understand the unintended consequence of their words. Romney is just playing to his base. He doesn’t understand that his words would medically make contraception, which he believes in, illegal. Local politicians like Jackson Miller have voted for similartype legislation. Jackson also supports contraception and isnt aware of the unintended consequences.
One exception is too-long -in-office Delegate Bob Marshall, who originally ran on a term limits ticket when he first became a delegate. Bob Marshall has continually pushed for legislation that defines when life begins. He has sponsored legislation that goes back further than conception to include life beginning at the moment of fertilization or union of sperm and egg. Unlike Mitt Romney and Jackson Miller, Bob Marshall knows exactly what he is saying and doing. He has made a life time career out of attempting to outlaw not only abortion but also the use of contraception. He and his buddy at American Life League, Judie Brown, set out years ago to trick voters and the uninformed into passing legislation that would, in essence, make using contraception illegal. Don’t be caught off guard.
American Life League is located in Stafford, Virginia. Bob Marshall was involved in the formation of the organization, along with long time leader, Judie Brown. ALL is most definitely anti abortion AND anti contraception. If you queston Bob Marshall about wanting to outlaw contraception at one of the meet the candidates nights, he will not deny the charge. He just won’t bring it up and let the voters know his true intentions.
It is time for Delegate Bob to retire. His term limits have expired. Send his opponent Carl Genthner to Richmond. Carl supports the women of Virginia making their own contraception decisions and won’t try to trick them with defining life.
Well, after that post, there’s no need to even ask. 🙂

Moon,
Love the biology class for the man cave!
I was quite pleased with the biology class for the man cave. I believe women need to see it also.
It is real easy to pay lip service to “life begins at conception” until you really start looking in to the impact.
Knocking about contraception is NOT the way to cut down on abortion.
Candidate Dick Black who got run out of the legislature for being an extremist is back of course. What is with these anti abortion/anti contraceptive MEN? Dick Black is every bit as bad as Bob Marshall.
Dick Black likes to send his fellow legislators plastic fetuses.
The following website exposes Dick Black for what he is. His campaign denies he is anti contraception–he just wanted to deny the morning after pill to girls under 18. arrggggghhhhhhhhh. I guess its ok for teenagers to have to bear a rapist’s offspring?

I do believe ALL is affilliated with the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church teaches that all forms of contraception if used for the express purpose of preventing the sperm from reaching and fertilizing the ovum is a sin. This includes condoms, IUD’s, spermicides, norplant, sponge, anything other than the watching the calendar is sin. Bob Marshall and Dick Black I do believe are devote Catholics. I think this much more of a religious belief issue, than a gender issue. I think the reason Delegate Marshall isn’t nearly as vocal regarding contraception as he is on abortion, is he wishes not to limit his base solely to devote, obedient, practicing Roman Catholics. Evangelical protestants, many of whom oppose abortion, do not consider contraception a sin. As a matter of fact, many believe it a way to prevent having to make a decision whether or not to terminate a pregnancy, because that would, to them, be a sin, whereas taking the pill or wearing a condom (within the bounds of marriage of course) is not.
