This is a photo from yesterday’s hearing on birth control. These five BROS testified on women’s health as it pertains to their access to birth control. As you can see, three of these BROS are religious leaders.
Men, you know I think the world of you. You know I’m in your corner all the time, because you’re my Bronies and I can’t reach the stuff on the top shelf of the pantry or change the spark plugs in my truck without you, but I’m still a Vagina-American. I’m also still an atheist. So please believe that I will not hesitate to mount my high horse (who is actually a mule, and a rather stubby one at that) and lay the hammer down on this type of redonkulousness in the name of science, reason, and rational thought.
I’m not bothered by the idea of a group of men testifying on women’s health provided that they are learned men who abide by the Hippocratic oath and put the health of their patients above any religious or political ideology. That sounds like a lady doctor dream team, if you ask me.
But why the rabbi and the reverend and the bishop? What do they have to do with the health of my reproductive bits? What could they possibly know about the medical condition I have that requires treatment with a constant dose of hormonal birth control despite the fact that I sleep with women exclusively? Even if all three of the religious leaders in this picture are MD’s, I can’t trust anyone who heads a major religious organization to put the concrete, publicly verifiable knowledge that we have about birth control over their own faith-based ideologies.
This ain’t their magisterium. Can I get some doctors up in here?
