Yet efforts to block millions of women's access to contraception has reached new heights.

3. We women need to organize to defend our right to use birth control.

This seems like an issue that was decided long, long ago. I can't believe that Rick Santorum and the Catholic bishops would raise this today. Working women, women who claim equality, women whose babies are more likely to survive for a longer time than ever before, need to have access to birth control.

Opponents of birth control are Neanderthals. Ridiculous.
