This, this right here:

This is a GOP panel about birth control on which only men are speaking. [source.]

Only men. Only men. They are talking about a woman’s control over her ability to reproduce, as well as a host of other medical benefits that come from using birth control. Some of those medical benefits (including not getting pregnant) are potentially life-saving benefits. Only men are talking about a woman’s control of her body. There should be no men at all on this panel. We should not even be having this conversation but mother-of-fuck, if we have to, there should be only women on this panel.

There really aren’t words for how horrified and terrified this makes me, and I don’t even live in the USA (and never ever will).
