True story. So … it should not even remotely surprise you that Sen. Barbara Boxer brought Viagra into a discussion about birth control:
CA @SenBarbaraBoxer, 1 of 18 to file brief on #HobbyLobby on @MSNBC says compnay has never filed "moral objection to men getting viagra"

Also, Hobby Lobby may come after your vaccines next:

Let’s go to the videotape:
If ignorance is bliss, Barbara Boxer is on cloud nine. And she’s in good company:
@gordonshuckrow hobby lobby wants to exclude birth control from their healthcare coverage. no problem with viagra though.

Will #HobbyLobby fight to stop covering Viagra since it's against "gods will"? He broke your dick for a reason #tcot #p2

If my boss makes my birth control/abortion decisions, then I get to make his erectile dysfunction/viagra decisions. #Fair #NotMyBossBusiness

Does your boss decide if Viagra is covered ? Why should they decide if you use insurance for #BirthControl? #NotMyBossBusiness

@LeahNTorres @youthpastorbry It's about MONEY, not religion. They aren't fighting Viagra coverage.

Hobby Lobby if YOU cover VIAGRA for UNMARRIED MEN–STFU about women's #contraception! #hypocrite #misogyny

@liberalgirl4 They better remove Viagra and anything men use as well. If their religion allows Viagra and not BC theres a big problem VOTE

Any employer who has no problem covering Viagra but cringes at birth control should reevaluate their common sense. #NotMyBossBusiness

The only thing that’s obvious here is that these doofuses have no idea what they’re talking about.
@NoahCRothman It amazes me that so many people think it makes sense to compare birth control to Viagra.
— William Belcher (@EdB_Ohio) March 25, 2014
@SenatorBoxer I'm totally against Hobby Lobby's position, BUT Viagra is NOT analogous to birth ctrl. And ur slippery slope argument is weak.
— Dave M (@Jazz0la) March 25, 2014
Now on @JansingCo, @SenatorBoxer just compared birth control to Viagra. Is she serious? Does she know what each are used for? #HobbyLobby
— Kylie Jane Kremer (@KylieJaneKremer) March 25, 2014
Evidently not. Moreover, she just doesn’t seem to understand what the Supreme Court case is actually about.
Someone please explain the Hobby Lobby case to Barbara Boxer.Women are not being denied access to birth control.She sounds totally confused.

Hobby Lobby is suing for the right to offer health care plans that do not cover contraception that could potentially prove lethal to a developing embryo. In fact, Hobby Lobby currently covers all but four of the FDA-approved forms of contraception:
.@jbased Again, you're wrong. Hobby Lobby insurance has birth control available in its plans. 16 different types. http://t.co/1yUycv5q7P
— Mike (@ThePantau) March 25, 2014
No kidding. Hobby Lobby actually pays to cover 16 different types of contraceptive drugs. http://t.co/vdHfbNJxTg

Too bad Boxer and the Party of Science don’t have time to do actual research before they open their mouths.
@cmarinucci Not surprised @BarbaraBoxer misses point entirely. Since when is Viagra an abortifacient?
— Not that Karen (@sfkarenmac) March 25, 2014
It isn’t.
Ma'am @BarbaraBoxer is an idiot. She does not comprehend that Viagra does not kill embryos. She hopes her constituents are as stupid as she.
— Prudence Paine (@PruPaine) March 25, 2014
the point that Ma'am @barbaraboxer clearly made: she is intellectually impaired. Even her strawmen are dumb. They need Viagra to stand up
— Prudence Paine (@PruPaine) March 25, 2014
We couldn’t’ve said it better ourselves.
