Hate OAC but not sure I have a problem with the bill. Aside from abstinence being the best way to prevent desire for abortions, this could also potentially help.

Didn’t want him over Trump for president.

Did think he’d make a good vice-president.

Did think he could move on to be president after that.

Did think a Supreme Court appointment might be good after that.

By November of 2015, I realized him being V.P. was not a good idea.

By April of 2016, I wasn’t in favor of him ever holding higher office.

By that same time I didn’t want him on a future SCOTUS roster either.

Even before the convention Ted had shattered my last nerve, as it relates to tolerating him.

His antics with the GOPe moping up on the Caucuses when he couldn’t win elections rubbed me the wrong way.

Him failing to concede and then having his people try to pull fast ones at the convention, rubbed me the wrong way.

Then he refused to back Trump at the Convention, thereby decreasing the mileage Trump would get out of the convention, and increasing the chances of a Clinton win.

From the convention on, he gave one muted endorsement followed by more months of silence.

Several days before the November election, Ted attended three campaign rallies, and refused to even say the name Trump at the first one.

Now Ted may have had grounds for being offended by Trump. I believe Trump had reasons to be offended by Ted too. What I cannot fathom is that Ted would have thrown the election to Clinton to get even. And yet, that’s pretty much what Ted did.

Only by the grace of God, did Trump pull off the squeaker. I know the electoral votes make it seem otherwise, but we were hanging by the skin of our teeth way late in the night on election night.

I can’t help but wonder what Cruz must have been thinking, knowing he could have mustered far more support for Trump than he did.

If Trump had not won, and had lost by the narrowest of an Electoral College margin, how could Ted have reasoned he was not likely the margin of difference.

I was dead wrong about Ted mid 2015. I’m not dead wrong about him today.

He’s the wrong man, at the wrong place, at the wrong time.

It comes with definite risks that should be evaluated.

Any Male who has dealt with a woman and her hormones will know it is not a cut and dry cookie cutter one size fits all type of thing.

All the proposals where he “reached across the isle” are reasonable stuff, including this.

It to show the Republicans are the reasonable ones and the Democrats obstructionist.

I’m a privileged white female and don’t see the problem, either. If it were the ‘60s when oral b.c. was new. Then definitely by prescription. By now it’s pretty tried and true. Seems we take way more dangerous things OTC every day. Maybe the abortion rate would decrease.

“Being a privileged white male, may I ask if there is anything wrong with over the counter birth control pills?”

Apparently the issue is AOC and Ted Cruz.

The Never Cruzers are as almost as dumb and destructive as the Never Trumpers.

"I was wondering the same thing. If more women had access to birth control, perhaps the abortion rate would go down. That’s a good thing."

Why hasn't there been a sperm control pill invented?

Btw..for you males that don’t know..hormones and their imbalance can lead to issues with ovarian and uterine cancer.

this is why so many elderly women end up with issues requiring D&C or hysterectomy.

Because men don’t have to give birth.

This was not posted to debate the rights and wrongs of access for OTC birth control for women that so desire.

It was posted to bash the Honorable Senator Cruz because he has a common sense approach to this and is teaming up with AOC (spit).

I don’t care about this , BUT don’t some women need a particular dose that not necessarily for birth control but other ailments? Sees a tad bit dangerous. Plus, insurance companies won’t have to pay anymore.

You are so correct. To get anything done in the cesspool, you have to have some give and take.

Nothing will ever be perfect from DC. However, sitting back on your lazy a$$ and brood about us against them will never get ANYTHING done and that is where we are at today with our elected officials.

Do nothing Congress

The article was not posted to bash Cruz but because I wanted to post a Ted Cruz article to even out my last AOC. Whatever the Ted Cruz news of the day was going to be posted. As luck would have it, the latest Cruz news just turned out to be “another AOC post”.

He’ll be the Jeb Bush of 2024.
A joke who will be humiliated.

There are plenty of great Patriotic how are unashamedly Pro-Trump who will be far ahead of Cruz in 24

No...don’t think so.
They need specific hormones (testing too)...shold not just throw BC pills at them...that’s like throwing estrogen pills at menopausal women.
