grammargirlThis is one of the most angry-making articles I have read in a long, long time:

Yeah, let's refuse women the Pill on "moral" grounds and then deny those same women prenatal and childcare. Let's claim that the Pill prevents a fertilized egg from embedding in the uterine lining (a claim which is, by the way, completely speculative) and thus amounts to "chemical abortion" (um, what?), all the while ignoring the fact that many women, myself included until recently, don't use the pill as contraception at all, but as relief for otherwise debilitating menstrual cramps.
Yeah. Brilliant fuckin' idea.
