Kansas Governor Sam Brownback just signed a law that allows pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions that “may result in the termination of a pregnancy.” Naturally, the law fails to specify what drugs might be used to terminate a pregnancy, thereby empowering your average right-wing, God-fearing pharmacist to override specific medical decisions made with a physician based on his “conscience” – as dictated by the ayatollah from Colorado Springs James Dobson - to deny an individual birth control.
Republicans seem hellbent on proving that they love “big government” when used to tell women what they cannot do.

18 May 2012 Correct and thorough explanation allows couples to know what to do after the baby is in desire. Hopefully the case with your patient how to inspire other couples prepare for pregnancy and knowledge of the surrounding is very important. Thank you for presenting a useful article, hopefully with this information helped many couples. Please correct you on my website that spoke about the pregnancy and its processes, here conceiving. GBU - RDCastle:
24 May 2012 Dear GBU, I sent you a private email containing the following description of my situation and a request for your assistance with my problem. I had difficulty sleeping last night, as I was anxiously hitting the refresh button hoping that you would respond quickly, and realized that I was being selfish in emailing you directly since others might benefit from hearing about my situation and the wisdom you will doubtlessly provide. ... Dear Sir or Madam: I read with interest your recent comment to the blog post entitled "Kansas Enlists In The Republican Jihad Against Women" by some arrogant prick whose name escapes me. Though short, your comment touches on issues that have come to occupy a considerable amount of my thoughts - at least when I am not assisting my mother with her mail order figurine business featuring wizards copulating with dolphins and other mythical creatures. You wrote that "correct and thorough explanation allows couples to know what to do after a baby is in desire." I have many questions about this important sounding statement but am afraid that we would be putting the cart in front of the proverbial unicorn if we left a more basic issue unaddressed. I fear I am rambling but find myself a bit nervous to be consulting such a famous expert on a problem as delicate as mine. Perhaps a little background information will assist you in advising me on the best path towards my goal of someday rearing a child. You see, I live with my mother who is housebound after an unfortunate incident that occurred while she was walking her cat on the grounds of the uranium mine that abuts our yurt. Once I divined that she had not gone to town to play video lottery, I immediately organized a search party who found her - thanks to a slight glow emanating from the crevice where she had deposited herself. We kept her alive by lobbing frozen burritos in her general direction and used the time that the fresh sustenance afforded to organize a retrieval, too complicated to recount here, that featured great quantities of rope and a donkey. My mother, I am pleased to report, is alive but will remain confined to her Posture-Matic adjustable bed with 32-comfort settings for the foreseeable future. As a result, I cannot leave my her side for longer than a commercial break as the unfortunate loss of our remote control requires me to turn the adjustable knob seventeen times to switch between the one-and-a-half channels we receive. All of this is to say that I desperately need your advice as I am not placed in sufficient proximity to women. I believe children are a gift from god and would be most useful to assist in applying lead paint to the more delicate areas on our figurines. Due to the economy, the production of offspring is most urgent as, without their tiny fingers, I am afraid we will not be able to expand our product line to include historical figures arranged in compromising positions. I was hoping you could provide me with some guidance as to the mechanisms necessary to find a woman with strong child bearing qualities. Do you have any suggestions? I am most hopeful that you will respond quickly and agree to assist me in my quest. I anxiously await your response. Richard "Dick" Castle - Eric W:
