Another republican white man does it again, foot in mouth disease...
Congressman Beauprez called an IUD, a common form of contraception, an “abortifacient,” while reaffirming his commitment to the principle of personhood and his opposition to common forms of birth control. Since his comment, he’s had one of the worst weeks yet.
....
“These comments illustrate how little Bob Beauprez really understands about women’s health,” said Cathy Alderman of Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado, in a news release issued after the debate. “The IUD prevents fertilization and is proven to be one of the most reliable methods to prevent pregnancy. As a trusted provider of reproductive health care in Colorado, Planned Parenthood highly recommends IUDs as a method of birth control to our patients. We agree with our colleagues from the American Academy of Pediatrics, who recently released a report finding the IUD is one of the best methods of birth control for teens.”
