Rep. Steve King (R-IA), on the recent decision to cover birth control with no co-pay: They’ve called it preventative medicine. Preventative medicine. Well if you applied that preventative medicine universally what you end up with is you’ve prevented a generation. Preventing babies from being born is not medicine. That’s not— that’s not constructive to our culture and our civilization. If we let our birth rate get down below replacement rate we’re a dying civilization.

Really? Really? You’re telling me that by giving American people better access to birth control - access that is already given in many other countries - humanity is in danger of dying out? Really? Really?

This makes not a damn bit of sense. Surely he has heard about overpopulation concerns. I smell race panic.
