Here’s hoping we won’t be forced to carry this administration to term.

the New York Times reported in 2012 that Yoest personally opposed birth control and that she described IUDs as having “ life-ending properties.”

Only the best people.

Damn these people to an eternity of hearing anguished cries of abused, neglected, sexually assaulted, starving children… The pro-birthers want more babies to born— . To fill private prisons? For cheap laborers?

In 2012, Yoest told the New York Times that she believes abortions can cause breast cancer. When the Times noted that data show that claim isn’t true, Yoest would not back down and said that scientists are “under the control of the abortion lobby.”

“As a breast cancer survivor, the spin on abortion and breast cancer really troubles me,” she told the Times. “Why can’t you report what the research actually shows?”

So she admits to having had an abortion? If she had breast cancer but never had an abortion, how can she correlate breast cancer with abortions? Oh, wait … never mind.

“Asked again in 2015 by the Washington Post about studies showing that birth control reduces the abortion rate, Yoest said she hadn’t “seen anything” to convince her that was true.”

Asked again in 2015 by the Washington Post about studies showing that birth control reduces the abortion rate, Yoest put her fingers in her ears and began yelling in tongues.

For those who don’t understand Fundiespeak:

This really goes back to the Bronze Age idea the man plants a seed and the woman is just the furrow where the seed is planted. The seed the man sows is the complete human like a plant seed is the complete plant. So all birth control is an abortifacient because the complete human in the male ejaculate has been stopped.

BTW this is why Onanism (spilling the seed/withdrawal) or male masturbation is an abortion.

Those whacked-out eyes alone could cause a spontaneous abortion. Scary!

Just what HHS needs, a lingering Yoest infection…

God dammit…I am getting sick and tired of the extremists running the government. These jackholes are nothing more than RW CRAZY MOFOs. There isn’t one damn thing they can say that I’ll buy. Nothing. They’ve been running around for decades picking and choosing and whining and sniveling about which laws they’ll follow. It’s our turn now. HELL NO!

How about the right of every child to be born wanted and why the hell do these people think the government has a right to intrude in such a personal and private matter.
