Birth Control Is Treason, Claims Turkey's Prez Erdogan

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and other conservative politicians there have been coming out with some doozies recently. Women shouldn't laugh in public. Women are not equal to men. Gender equality leads to more suicides. Now Erdogan has said that promoting birth control is "treason".

Erdogan made the comments on Sunday, addressing the bride and groom at the wedding ceremony of the son of businessman Mustafa Kefeli who is one his close allies.

He told the newly-weds that using birth control was a betrayal of Turkey’s ambition to make itself a flourishing nation with an expanding young population.

“One or two (children) is not enough. To make our nation stronger, we need a more dynamic and younger population. We need this to take Turkey above the level of modern civilizations,” Erdogan said.

“In this country, they (opponents) have been engaged in the treason of birth control for years and sought to dry up our generation,” Erdogan said.

Erdogan went on to praise marriage and said: “Marriage is a long journey. There are good days and bad days. Good days become more frequent as we share them and bad days finally bring happiness if we are patient.”

“One (child) means loneliness, two means rivalry, three means balance and four means abundance. And God takes care of the rest,” he added, in comments reported by the Dogan news agency, which also posted a video of his speech.

Now that's waging a war on women.

 Guess he didn't get the memo that three's a crowd.

The man has two boys and two girls.

Turkey's population is 76 million.

During his Sept 26 show, Bill Maher lambastes the misplaced outrage of liberals over the Republican Party's alleged "War on Women" versus their lack of concern over the horrific life women in Muslim majority countries are subjected to.

He almost sounds like a conservative here. Quite something for a liberal atheist.

Give Me Free Birth Control Sandra Fluke Nominated For Time "Person of The Year 2012"

Sandra Fluke, poster child for the "gimme free stuff because the government owes me that" mentality, has just been nominated for Time Magazine's "Person of the Year 2012".

There are 40 nominees, which Time will ultimately choose, but you too can have your say (vote before December 12.) Granted, the 'chosen'  few aren't necessarily picked for their positive qualities- there are plenty of  dubious ones listed, including Bashar al-Assad and Barack Obama, who has been nominated, again! Time does clarify that when voting (that is, if you choose to play along) you should:

Cast your vote for the person you think most influenced the news this year for better or worse. 

31-year-old Sandra Fluke, that self-serving Georgetown law student graduate, was the catalyst for the "war on women" mantra that the Democratic party glommed onto in order to appeal to all the single, child-bearing females in the country (and their champions) who feel the government should provide free birth control. Ironically, they also happen to be the ones who say the government should  not interfere with their bodies. But it worked, since single women were instrumental in getting Obama four more years in the White House.
