Rush Limbaugh is an ass who thinks that the more sex you have, the more birth control pills you need to take. He thinks women who need birth control are sluts and if the collective “we” has to pay for contraceptive care, then the collective “we” should get to watch videos of girls having sex. He thinks a woman , who speaks on behalf of a friend who lost an ovary because she was denied access to contraceptives, should have parents who are ashamed of her.

The recent uproar about women’s rights and healthcare makes me feel like I am back in the 1950’s. Birth control is a non-controversial issue, or at least it was until Newt Gingrich, in early February, latched on to the fact that the Obama administration had mandated that birth control be covered at no co-pay as basic health care by insurance providers (which the Obama administration announced in mid-January.) It took a while for the GOP to take hold of the issue and blow it out of proportion. They cried that it violated the first amendment, the freedom of religion because while it exempted churches and places of worship from having to provide the coverage, it did not exempt religious businesses like hospitals or universities.

Indiana really is the crossroads of America, politically that is. The state is at the center of privatization, a hot trend for our nation’s Republican governors and mayors. GOP politicians and dominated legislatures sell public resources to the highest private bidder, using extensive, longer-than-long-term contracts. The deals often block the State from modernizing public transit, or placing resources more efficiently to save money. Is privatizing in the public interest?
In Indiana, Governor Mitch Daniels undertook an initiative to privatize the toll roads on the Indiana highway.
