Hands Off Approach

On the topic of women's rights, do we seriously have another politician making insensitive comments about the idea of rape? Really... how do these guys get elected? 

Of course women alone should have the right to make choices about their own body. Here's a clip of the great Tina Fey telling it like it is at a gala for the Center for Reproductive Rights: 

Again and again, I think comedians like Fey, Stephen Colbert, and John Stewart serve as our best commentators. Sometimes laughter is the best medicine against all this ridiculous dialogue and radical conservatism, but it's still scary... I hope voters will consider this when thinking about who supports these wrongheaded candidates, and will come to choose the next members of the Supreme Court.
