I generally don't get into politics but this really bugged me.....
Apparently saying the words "Menstrual Cramps" freaked out some conservatives during a discussion of the Affordable Care Act's Women's Health package on Monday.
Specifically Dana Loesch.
Senator Tom Harkin was defending the Affordable Care Act's mandate that insurance plans cover preventative care, including birth control pills, he mentioned that birth control pills can benefit women who have difficulty with "menstruation."
Senator Harkin said the following:
There are many women who take birth control pills, for example, because
they have terrible menstrual cramps once a month, some of them almost
incapacitated, can't work. I know of young women myself who, because of
this, aren't able to work and be productive, and it's prescribed by
their doctor.
Dana Loesch's response :
It's asinine to suggest that birth control is the only way women can
control menstrual cramps. Speaking from experience with endometriosis,
there are a number of other remedies available to women that assist with
this issue, not just birth control pills. If it was about women's
health, the "birth control" aspect wouldn't be at the spear of the
left's push.Duh..... Dana - - Senator Harkin never stated that birth control is the "only way" women can control menstrual cramps. He also never in fact stated "all" women could benefit from birth control during menstruation, just that many women who experience menstrual cramps - experience relief after using birth control as prescribed by their doctor. She also completely missed the fact that there are actually many aspects of the ACA's women's health package — like domestic violence counseling, breast screening, and HPV testing— that have nothing to do with birth control.
It really annoys me that a man can show more empathy towards women who deal with menstrual issues than another woman. I'm glad Harkin acknowledges that many women find relief by using birth control pills, but the lack of support Loesch shows--considering she menstruates and presumably gets cramps--is just well what can I say stupid.......
Think, listen and do your homework before you speak and or write Dana - it might do you some good.
