Year: 2012 Length: 2:44 Access: Hulu Summary: In this clip of Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler's classic sketch called "Really!?! with Seth & Amy," the comedic duo rails against the rash of recent politicos, who seek to restrict the ability of women to control their own fertility. Seth and Amy refer to the hearings held by a House Oversight Committee on religious liberty and insurance coverage for contraception on February 16th. In the hearings, representatives Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) and Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) accused Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) of manipulating committee rules to block women from testifying as witnesses. Seth and Amy also mention Foster Friess (a major donor to the super PAC backing Rick Santorum's presidential campaign), who recently joked in an interview on MSNBC about contraception. "Back in my days," Friess remarked, "The gals put [Bayer aspirin] between their knees, and it wasn't that costly." Not mentioned by Seth and Amy is Georgetown law student, Sandra Fluke's recent testimony before Congress in favor of contraceptive coverage. Political commentator, Rush Limbaugh, responded by calling Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute," and he made her the following proposition: "So Miss Fluke, and the rest of you Feminazis, here’s the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch." These recent news stories, many of which are touched on in Seth and Amy's comedy, illustrate the ambitions of men to continue to exercise power over the reproductive lives of women. In the first congressional hearing, the experiences of women were formally excluded from the congressional record. The remarks from Friess and Limbaugh, in contrast, amount to slut-shaming, which is a discourse that similarly attempts to control women's sexual lives. While the above comedy sketch may not be intellectually rich on its own, it works well as a means of broaching a discussion about why contraception is a feminist issue, and how formally controlling women's sexual behavior through law works in concert with informal controls, such as slut-shaming.

The arguments posted here only address, in part, what a few attention getting extremists have to say. I offer the viewpoint of the mainstream pro-life community: We simply do not want to pay for the death of any human being, born or pre-born, just conceived, or advanced in years, healthy or unhealthy. Most of us know that God is the Creator and Giver of life. We do what we do to honor Him and we believe in keeping women safe. The number of women coerced or terrorized into abortion is very high, the evidence of the psychological consequences are very often delayed and the harm of not knowing that what is conceived and called a "fetus" is a baby. Fetus is Latin for unborn baby. I am praying for Jesus to show you His love and protection.

I am not looking for attention, but your comment provoked me to respond. What you are trying to promote is Ignorance. I would love to know what defines a Extremists in your opinion? In my personal opinion you are the perfect example of a Extremists brainwashing as your entire paragraph ( with the exception of your 2nd and last sentences are the only times you are speaking directly. For someone like your self to make such bold statements why are you afraid of standing behind your beliefs and speaking for your self rather than hiding behind words like "We".

I don't believe men should have any say in women's reproductive rights in any way. Men don't have to carry the child for 9 months go through torturous labor all the hell women have to endure only to either refuse the child, leave with another woman or make her suffer. Women aren't on this planet to give men children or to take care of them. Men that assume that women shouldn't have any rights reproductive or otherwise need to stay silent. Trump is doing too much damage and sending the United states back to the dark ages. Down with trump down with his egotistical administration down with those that try to control women.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

I promised Dr Kala to share to the entire public if he could help me to get my ex wife back which prompted me to write this beautiful testimony for the amazing things Dr Kala did for me by getting my ex wife back to me after she filed for a divorce. I love my wife so much and i could not accept the fact that i am loosing her, so i went into research to get some tips on how i could get my wife back and i saw a comment on one of the forum, a lady testifying how she was able to get her ex back by reaching out to Dr Kala and i also contact Dr Kala on email and explain my problem to him and he helped me to get my wife back within 2days and my wife stopped the divorce and return back to me, promising me that she will never leave me again and also beg for me to forgive her which i did and right now i am enjoying my marriage and all thanks to Dr Kala the great spell caster who is capable of bringing back ex lover and put an end to your divorce, marriage and relationship problems.
