Wow. Is Chuck Asay really trying to contrast free birth control with domestic violence? Because that’s what comes to mind when I look at the first panel. Women who have been beaten or threatened and they need somewhere private to hide.

Why is Asay bringing safe houses into this conversation? What the fuck is wrong with him? It’s been ridiculous enough to see conservatives get up in arms about Democrats et al wanting to provide free birth control, but at least there was something resembling logic as it’s usually been on the grounds that they think it somehow violates religious liberty or will encourage teenagers to go out and have sex (as if teens need encouragement to have sex).

But this? What the fuck is Asay thinking? Why… Where…. What is going through his mind that he sees the issue of birth control and his response is ‘Women who have been beaten by their spouses”?
