Oh those funny feminists

I sometimes have difficulty explaining my reaction to what I perceive as stupidly sexist things to my husband, but we did agree that the move in the United States to basically ban access by employees (or even employee dependents) to birth control pills by certain religious schools, universities and hospitals is ridiculous. According to these institutions, doing so would go against their religious freedoms.

In the comments of some of the articles, there are stories about students who attend religiously-affiliated universities having to drive to the next town over to purchase full-priced birth control pills, and a female dependent unable to secure birth control because she is still covered by her father's insurance plan and he works as a principal at a private school with church ties. I think this is profoundly messed up in a country that claims to separate church and state.

This is the first video to mock the Congressional Republicans "experts":
