What's unconscionable is Spector blowing up a minor difference into claiming a "full-on assault" on women's rights.
Even if you agree with every and all types of birth control programs and processes (excluding abortion), the hyperbolic characterization of what some would call reasonable restrictions on expansion, constant expansion, of added and "protected" classes of individuals (who are already protected in most states) is just time-consuming anf political, not helpful. Why aren't they legislating a strengthening of requirements that unwed mothers name the father so that parental responsibility, including child support, be better managed? Why aren't they supporting actual cash incentives for long-term birth control implants, which could include contributions to college or vacational colleges for under-age girls and boys (boys qualify through voluntary (and reversible) vasectomies? Why not more and better ideas that deal with the reduced standards of living caused mainly by too many poor and minority children being born into poverty, fatherless (and motherless) households (11-12% of ALL poor and minority children are being raised by relatives other than the mother, or in foster homes) which has been researched forever and which research proves beyond any doubt that poor and minority motherhood at too early in life (even if married) is a one-way ticket to more of the same for them, and their offspring.
