More anti-choice idiocy in Ohio

From the Daily KOS:

The Ohio legislature is, of course, considering more legislation to ban insurance coverage for abortion in public and private insurance (because women can't be trusted to make the right decisions with their own money) but also that would ban insurance plans from covering "drugs or devices used to prevent the implantation of a fertilized ovum." That would include, yes, the most widely used forms of effective birth control, the pill and IUDs.

Here's the genius behind the bill.

Rep. John Becker (R), who sponsored the bill, said during Tuesday’s hearing that birth control pills should not be banned under HB 351. But he still wants IUDs, which are long-acting forms of birth control that are inserted in the uterus, to fall under the ban because he considers IUDs to be a form of abortion. “This is just a personal view. I’m not a medical doctor,” he said.

So you admit that you are not a doctor, but you STILL wanna dictate what women do with their bodies.
