Know what we cats think about today's big Supreme Court decision? We are so glad that the Republicans are going to have to talk about birth control in 2014 and 2016.
Take it from us: The GOP powers that be, not to mention their Congressional candidates across the country, did not want to have to answer any questions about reproductive rights, and why we have to keep fighting the same old battles for women's healthcare over and over and over. But then again, Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito don't have to worry about getting re-elected, do they?
So, have at it, everybody! Let's have our Democratic candidate in Virginia's 10th Congressional district challenge Republican Barbara Comstock to weigh in on the Hobby Lobby nightmare. Let's see how adroitly the anti-choice hog-castrator in Iowa handles angry questions from female voters in Des Moines, Davenport and Cedar Rapids. And please, somebody ask Susana Martinez of New Mexico how she feels about old guys on the Supreme Court telling women their contraception is unworthy of coverage.
And how wonderful it will be in 2016, when we nominate you-know-who — who may have just solidified a win of 400+ electoral votes over whatever moron the Republicans manage to nominate after a huge, delicious, party-destroying fight.
Finally, here's this: Any employer worth its salt will continue to offer comprehensive health insurance coverage. Not just because companies surely know that a majority of Americans think Hobby Lobby should go jump in the lake — but because in a competitive world, they want to attract and retain the best workers.
Sorry, GOP, but people want their birth control. And try as you might, you can't turn back the clock. We cats PURR.
