Geez! How much money does Rep. Lois Frankel think women need for birth control?

And evidently choices are hard for Democratic Rep. Lois Frankel.

Here’s what she tweeted this morning:

Access to birth control is critical to opening the doors of economic success for women #fixhobbylobby

— Rep. Lois Frankel (@RepLoisFrankel) August 27, 2014

OK, that’s pretty asinine. But this is in a class by itself:

RT if you agree: Women shouldn't have to choose btwn paying for birth control and paying rent #fixhobbylobby

— Rep. Lois Frankel (@RepLoisFrankel) August 27, 2014

Uh, false choice, anyone? Holy crap! Unless you’re one of those mythical gals who spends $18,000 on birth control, Frankel’s scenario makes absolutely no sense.

No kidding.

Meanwhile, if Frankel and her fellow Dems really want to empower women, they can let women take care of themselves.

Seems reasonable. So does this:
