“It’s not a medical necessity that you have [contraception].”

No, of course not. There are no medical conditions where contraception can inexpensively help protect a person from severe pain, distorted anatomy, or even (GASP!) infertility. Because conditions like endometriosis and PCOS are all in a woman’s head. She just needs to pray more and stop pissing off the sky daddy.

But heavens forbid a man can’t get a boner. The state better step in and fix that lickety-split!

I read it in a book called The War on Choice, by Gloria Feldt, former Planned Parenthood director. I think this is another nail in the coffin of the Reich-Wing.
