Sen. Mike Lee: Birth Control Pills Are For 'Recreational' Use

Does this guy look like an expert on recreational sex? Mike Lee had a few words -- and judgments -- for women affected by the Hobby Lobby decision.

Maybe Mike Lee should just come out and call women sluts for wanting access to contraceptives? Oh wait, I think he just did! The free boner pills are totally fine with this guy, but if you're female, you're a slut.

ThinkProgress:

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) agreed on Monday that women use birth control to protect themselves from “recreational behavior,” just hours after the Supreme Court ruled that some companies can refuse to provide health insurance coverage that includes contraceptive services.

During an appearance on Sirius XM’s The Wilkow Majority, host Andrew Wilkow argued that the real question in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores Inc., was about “whether or not a person who runs a business should be forced to provide something that is largely for recreational behavior, if it goes against their religious beliefs.”

[whathehell]

2. +10000 n/t

4. Even money Mike Lee has been hitting the recreational drugs himself.

And not weed, either.

[Laurian]

6. Recreation is the ONLY purpose of Viagra.

Unlike birth control which has medical applications.

[VanillaRhapsody]

9. oh exactly!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

14. Yup!

3. Idiot doesn't realize that contraceptives are often prescribed

for problems not related to contraception. But then, the people who have those problems are only women, so that's not important. They can just suffer.

[VanillaRhapsody]

8. because to them women only have one purpose...

As a new republican baby incubator. Someone needs to point out most of the new babies they helped create with thier archaic notions will likely voe Democrat in the future!

5. Birth control is serious business, you dumb ass. nt

7. Here's what I don't get.

Most guys want sex - recreational sex. And I think most guys want recreational sex without having to worry about an unwanted pregnancy. So what's with men like this jerk? Does this guy really only ever have sex when he's trying to procreate? I'm not buying it. And if not, then if he's having recreational sex, but he's against women having recreational sex, who is he having recreational sex with?

My head hurts now.

16. It's a variation of the "I want to marry a virgin someday but expect girls to put out for me" BS.

Basically, if you're having sex with them, it's cool, but you're not supposed to have sex with anyone else. Ever.

[CrispyQ]

17. Wow. You'd have to have some wires loose to think like that.

And they get elected, that's what's really scary.

[MindPilot]

22. Must be "low-T" or some such

I've wondered this ever since I got involved in working on clinic defense back in the 80s.

Why are so many men working so hard to make women less sexually available?

[gwheezie]

10. Most sex is recreational

Having children is not recreational.
Seriously people in this country have 1or 2 kids so the sex they have the rest of the time is for some other reason.
I think rightwing loon men have these strange notions because the women married to them have convinced them to only have sex for procreation. I also think some of these white guys are worried there are not enough white babies being born.

[bemildred]

13. Sex is one of the things that bind us together, it is important and serious business.

A lot of male neediness about sex comes from insecurity about access, if you see what I mean?

And a lot of it is male sexual competitiveness, which is a big mistake in my view. Hugh Hefner is not who I want to be.

I like what my kid said to me about sex once: "It's like a drug!"

[Proud Liberal Dem]

15. Has anybody noticed how most movies and tv shows depict sex as totally about making babies?

Said no one ever.............

[spanone]

11. what an uninformed asshole.

[LynneSin]

12. And tell me, what purpose does Viagara serve?

Idiots

[Volaris]

19. Let Em keep yammering...2 months from now one of them will slip up, and it will be the

"Legitimate rape" of election 2014.

[3catwoman3]

20. Is there any other purpose for a vasectomy...

besides "recreational" sex? Didn't think so.

[alp227]

21. Mike Lee should quit the Senate and start a rap career

since a lot of rappers use "bitch" and "ho" in their lyrics. Honestly I just laugh whenever right wing pundits condemn rap as "EVIL MISOGYNISTIC CORRUPTING OUR KIDS" when right wing commentary about birth control etc is a more polite version of the misogynistic language found in rap. BTW I hope left wing PACs took the audio and saved it for future campaign ads!
