Are these *men* delayed in the brain? What is more economically depressing for a hurting family than an unplanned bundle of $180,000 expenses over his/her lifetime? Oh vey

House Republican leader John Boehner is leading the charge, asking, “How can you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on contraceptives? How does that stimulate the economy?”  </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2009/01/27/obama-getting-it-wrong-on-birth-control/"> Medicaid spending generally isn’t being attacked; it’s <EM>contraception </EM>spending. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2009/01/27/obama-getting-it-wrong-on-birth-control/"> contraception spending saves money in the long run — some $200 million over five years</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2009/01/27/obama-getting-it-wrong-on-birth-control/">And of course there’s the abortion issue.
