Men Lie Too

There's so much going on with the controversy surrounding Todd Akin and the GOP's barbaric platform on social views that I think a lot of really important items get overlooked in the hassle.  For instance, in Akin's attempt to clarify his horrible and scientifically inaccurate statements about rape and pregnancy, he said this: [I was] making the point that there were people who use false claims, like those that basically created Roe v. Wade."  Meaning women can sometimes lie about being raped just to get an abortion.  While true in very rare cases, so can men.  They lie all the time about not raping women.  So why can't we regulate male reproductive rights?  Oh that's right, they're men. 

This whole thing is about controlling with government what Republicans perceive to be immoral sexual behavior of women.  It's the 16th century still to them.  They use the Bible as back up and insist they get their moral policing from a higher power.  Right after they dry themselves off from a drunken skinny dipping plunge in the Sea of Galilee during their Christian pilgrimage to showcase their righteousness to the world, that is.  They're insane  And anyone who believes them is retarded.
