Even Alex Pareene Must Know He Is Babbling Nonsense, Right?
Regarding allowing religious institutions to opt out of having to pay for contraceptives, he says: "[Murkowski] had no idea she was signing on to a hugely unpopular and politically suicidal campaign to restrict the rights of women!" Hey, I'd like a six pack tonight! I think if my employer refuses to pay for it, I will whinge that it is restricting my rights. Pareene then piles the rubbish heap yet higher: "She is pro-choice. She is obviously pro-contraception. She just voted against those two principles because..." So, if I am pro-book, but vote against forcing employers to buy their employees books, then I am voting against my principles? These are just rhetorical ploys, right? He can't actually believe these arguments make any sense.
