Mitt Romney: Welcome To The Man Cave, Where Rachel Maddow Will Teach You How A Uterus Works

Video
» 153 comments

This evening on her show, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow focused on a question recently posed to Mitt Romney during a town hall gathering. This question, as Maddow put it, seemed to “stump” the GOP candidate, which she found to be curious given that many shows — including her own — have been emailing Romney’s campaign people for an answer to this very same question, so Romney must have at least some awareness that this issue is out there and on people’s minds. What question, you ask?

Well, here’s how the young woman who attended that town hall posed it:

“You were on Governor Huckabee’s show a few weeks ago, and one of the things that you folks talked about was that you would support a ‘life begins at conception’ amendment. Now, that would essentially mean banning most forms of birth control. Ninety-eight percent of American women — including me — use birth control. So could you help me understand why you oppose the use of birth control?”

RELATED: Herman Cain Tells Piers Morgan That He Is Anti-Abortion, Yet Pro-Choice?

Romney’s answer? “I don’t.” [Laughter] “I’m sorry. Life begins at conception; birth control prevents conception.”

But, Maddow said, the “Life Begins at Conception” / “Mississippi Personhood” amendment that Romney supports does not only aim to ban abortion. Since any fertilized egg would be considered a person, “a miscarriage would be cause for a criminal investigation.” In addition, it would indeed potentially outlaw certain forms of birth control. So it would seem, Maddow continued, that Romney doesn’t seem to fully understand the amendment he professes to support.

Going back to that town hall meeting in Sioux City, then, Maddow showed footage of that same young woman informing Romney that some forms of hormonal birth control actually prevent implantation (when an already fertilized egg, or blastocyst, becomes attached to the uterine wall) rather than conception (which is when sperm fertilizes an egg). “The pill” is an example of hormonal birth control, by the way, and is quite popular and widely-used.

Maddow then shared the sort of “light bulb moment” she had while watching and re-watching Romney’s interaction with that young woman: Politics? “Mostly guys.” And the media? “REALLY mostly guys.”

So why not try and drop a lil’ uterus knowledge, if you will, on dudes who might not really know how lady parts work? Time for…. The man cave! Beer included. (If the term “lady cave” didn’t sound so… completely vaginal… this is the part of the post where I’d mention that, hey!, lady caves can include beer too! But that sounds incredibly icky, so.)

Maddow then gave a very thoughtful shout-out to us straight ladies, noting that, at times, we engage in activities where sperm — courtesy of a gentleman — may find itself approaching an egg — provided by the lady — even though neither party hopes for these two elements to come together and form a blastocyst. Hormonal birth control can stop this by, say, stopping the production of eggs (ovulation), so that the sperm have no one to welcome them. They also make it more difficult for a gentleman’s sperm to even get close enough to a lady’s egg to drop off his calling card. It’s all incredibly civilized, I assure you. Now, should a gentleman manage to leave his calling card successfully, some forms of birth control work to make sure the resulting blastocyst doesn’t implant itself on the uterine wall, a thing for which I don’t have a nice metaphor. Dropping off his coat and hat? That works, yes?

Here’s the segment, via MSNBC. (If you weren’t familiar with all things uterine and birth control-related before, did Maddow’s segment help?):

    Wow all this time I thought she had a penis!

  • Rex the Wonder God

    Hmm – that number: 99% of women. BIG number. Probably a lot of ‘em could vote too. Oopsie – we amended the constitution to allow for that.  We’re talking, oh around 160 million Americans, and of that number, at least half with some sort of ‘practical’ and quite direct interest in this issue, and ALL of them at some point, for years.

    Sure, some won’t want the right – that’s their right to choose, too. But … 99%. BIG number. That tells us that, no matter what some women tell their parents, or their partners, or their spouses, almost 160 million face this.

    This, I must say, was a big unforced error on Mitten’s part. Goes to show: he can look great in a line-up of the electorally infirm, but not exactly great next to a real woman with a real women’s issue. So, this is going to leave a mark. The DNC video library must be bulging by now.

    First: never is a long time and covers a lot of living. Second: how do you know that? R U Kreskin? Third, I very much doubt you have the first clue about what same-sex preference-inclined people think. Seriously: I doubt it a LOT. Fourth: sexual preference isn’t quite the same thing as being pregnant; just ask an OBGYN – thousands of same-sex preferring women not only see the distinction, they act on it.

    I’m tempted to repeat your “had to”, but that would be insensitive to his mom, who I have no reason to think is not a fine person who spends a lot of time worrying about what went wrong with her son.

    You sad, pathetic thing you. You don’t even get that you don’t get it. Some woman bore you, and maybe even chose to do so. I mean, that 99% number suggests that it’s overwhelmingly likely your mom used some form of birth control, but chose not so she could have you. You should take what you’ve posted here and show her; I’m sure she’d be so proud.

    Do you understand how this life creation thing works? But for hormones, you could have been born, not ol’ Ranier the Internet mountain man, but Rani the woman. You are the gender you are due to some more or less random signal to flush your mom’s uterus with a particular mix of hormones at a particular time, and you think you’re somehow entitled to treat 50% of Americans as second-class citizens.

    Rachel Maddow is a jackass.

  • Rex the Wonder God

    This is weird. 

    Not this story, or that it’s here on Mediaite. 

    What’s weird is that, as good as this takedown of Mittens is, as much as it shows Romney in a cruelly ignorant light of his own choosing, in relation to the rights of half the country’s population, it’s quite arguably NOT the most outrageous bit of sensational television Maddow came out with tonight.In another segment, she called out the Koch bros, those Richie Filthy Rich oil & chemical inheriting barons, for being cheap, venal bullies, and basically said, Man up you COWARDS, if you want a fight, I’m right here ready to take you both and your combined 50 billion bucks on. She called them out for taking a total low blow at one of her producers, for getting a story on them correct. She taunted them, repeatedly, to man up & come on to her show & face her. Why wasn’t this put up here for comment? It would have caused an all-time knock-down drag-out FLAME-OUT battle in the comment pit, of the magnitude that normally only comes out for stupid crap about religion and fights to the death over pro-choice versus pro-barefoot and pregnant.

    I have a question, for any of this lunatic’s fans or for Miss Maddow herself. No kidding aside.

    Why is she so concerned about birth control and uteruses? After all, she doesn’t need to use the first because she is never going to have a child in the second. Why all the concern?

    It would be as if I were concerned about something that had nothing to do with me – like being a leftist lunatic like Pravda Rachel Maddow is.

    Carlin was extremey wrong in that regard.

    Sarah Palin is pro life and pretty hot. Hillary is pro choice and I would sooner stick my ding-a-ling in a blender than have sex with her.  Also, not many straight women would rather have sex with Barney Frank than Mitt Romney, i’m guessing.  

    There are a million more examples just based on pure looks. If Carlin meant it on an ideological level, then he was just playing to his liberal audience.

    I think you did not get it. Maddow’s point is that you can not be in favor of birth control, and also hold that life begins at conception because conception often takes place before birth control takes effect.

    I used to like her when Carlson had her on.  Back then she presented herself as a bright articulate left winger.  She left all the theatrics at the door.  

    I suppose since she is far from flashy, she was told to emote more.  With her eye rolls, hand gestures and body language, you know immediately what her position on an issue is.  She is the left version of Hannity, except Hannity is good looking and has opposing views on and he doesn’t go for the theatrics.

    I find it hilarious that Mediaite didn’t bother to fact check this woman at the Sioux City town hall or Rachel Maddow (who is generally full of shit) because they’re completely and utterly false on every level.

    First of all, 98% of women aren’t using birth control. That’s completely ridiculous, she’s basically claiming that most elderly women and little girls use birth control. Are you kidding me? Rachel Maddow and Mediaite took this claim at face value? Fewer than 10% of women in this country use oral contraceptives, even fewer get the shot. That’s a long way to go until you’re at 98%.

    Second, her claim that most birth control methods don’t prevent conception is a complete crock of shit and is obvious propaganda. Mechanical prophylactics prevent semen from reaching the ovum and spermicide does just that – kills sperm. The pill and the shot prevent ovulation, they’re so effective because there’s no damn ovum to seed in the first place and the shot even stops the uterus from shedding, i.e. no periods. The only forms of birth control that are designed for *possible* post-conception are the morning-after pill, which is dangerous and causes hormonal imbalances when frequently used because it IS nothing but hormones, and drugs like Yaz and Yasmin which are off the market because they werefucking killing women.

    Third, Maddow went further off the deep end by saying that a life-at-conception amendment would result in murder investigations — which is unbelievably stupid. Murder requires intent; fertilized eggs are naturally discharged all the time — IT’S NATURAL. The odd spot here would be morning after pills, since they possibly discharge an egg that’s been fertilized… but it may not be fertilized, so how would you charge someone with attempted murder if there’s no life in the first place? So the only form of currently legal birth control that would probably be made illegal is the morning-after pill. Oh yeah, and abortion which most people already acknowledge is murder anyway.

    Thanks for the lesson, Maddow. Amazing that the only sexual organ you personally deal with you don’t know shit about.

    I know lesbians and bisexual women who have all successfully aimed at getting pregnant. (Big surprise I know). What kind of a *pussay* anyway is too frail to muster a schematic image of the organs at the core of the birth control debate?

    Let’s look at the facts about dead-beat dads, and most especially, dead beat mothers, that never seem to get mentioned. Fact is, women are 4-5 times more likely to be parental dead-beats than men. Of course, that does not excuse men, I’m only pointing out the need to factually correct.
    I’m of the opinion that what a woman does concerning abortion is between her, the father, God, and her doctor, with the only exception being late term abortion. It is no one Else’s business but, it is also NOT the responsibility of the taxpayer!! You want an abortion, pay for it yourself!

    We, unlike Liberals, do understand the whole Gay rights thing but, unlike you and the rest of the sheeple, we tend to believe Gays are not asking for rights, they are asking for SPECIAL RIGHTS. But, I digress, the issue is not about Gay rights it’s about conception and abortion. Conception is best answered by the medical definition, and abortion is matter between a woman and her God.

    Maybe because even those of us who run no chance of getting pregnant through “traditional” means actually care that straight ladies would like to engage in intimate activities without then having to have a child as a result.  

    Also, being female, we do understand that laws like this are meant to do nothing more than control a woman via her biological makeup.  And that should be reprehensible, no matter what your gender or sexuality.  

    Why is this even a question?  Seriously.  I’m not black, but I care about the problem of racism.  I’m not a child, but I care about the problem of child poverty and abuse.  I live in the Global North, but I care about hunger and exploitation and health issues in the Global South.  Maybe part of the problem is that people seem to think it has to affect them personally before they care.

    How is demanding a right that everyone else enjoys asking for SPECIAL rights?  If straight people have it, but gay people don’t, is it special for straight people?  Oh wait, I guess it is.  Straight people consider themselves special and entitled to rights that gay people are not.  

    So who wants special rights again?

    Wow.  What a stunningly intellectual reply to a woman’s legitimate question.  Oh wait…

    Awwww, i’m sorry you’re mad, but it’s not Sarah’s fault you’re fat and ugly and don’t have a boyfriend.

    Gay marriage is a stupid issue. You’re only riled up about it because pop culture tells you to be. You’re a dumbass.

    You’re a repetative moron.

    Too bad, someone did with your Mom.

    Too bad she was not pro-choice.

    Could we please get back to Romney?  His grandpa had dozens of “wives”, but that is not under discussion here.  Try to keep comments to the subject which is -  Is Romney for or against abortion and does he know where babies come from?

    Obama’s father was a polygamist.  Can we talk about that as well?

    I wonder if Maddow masturbates on the air while sniffing a can of tuna fish?
    That would explain her facial contortions.

    I doubt that Romney doesn’t understand. He’s pandering plain and simple and doesn’t want to delve into the real life details that complicate pandering. It’s like the often promised, never seriously considered constitutional amendment about marriage. You say something to placate a certain group of voters even though it’s kinda stupid and you have no intention on really delivering.

    Pravda and Al-Jazeera aren’t really comparable organizations in the modern era. Al Jazeera English is a pretty valuable resource for the Western world, frankly.

    So, should I assume from this ad hominem attack with no comment on the substance of her remarks that you support or have no opinion on banning birth control? I don’t know about you, but for all the aggressively rude masculinity you seem to be trying to exude, casual sex with women will be a lot harder in such an America. To say nothing of the diseases, unwanted pregnancies…

    There are WAY more single mothers who are successful, where do you get your facts? Yes there are some dead beat mothers but the VAST majority of dead beat parents are fathers! Potential dead beats? I don’t know a single woman in my life who are or would ever be a potential dead beat mother. But I know plenty of men who are dead beats and other men who, if they impregnated someone, would be “potential” dead beats. And just so you know, NOBODY is pro-abortion, people are pro-CHOICE. I personally wouldn’t get pregnant to begin with BUT if I were raped then you better not take my abortion choice away, men leave your damn laws off my body!! But for a stupid teenage girl who didn’t take precautions and wants an abortion? That’s still her choice… not one I would make (I would deliver and put up for adoption) but it doesn’t matter what YOU think, it’s HER body and HER choice!!

    Lots of gay people have children. Why don’t you know this ? The fact that you don’t disqualifies you from any intelligent discussion on the subject. BTW, lots of gay people want to get married too, in case you haven’t heard.

    Maddow, you can spot em can’t ya? Why do lesbians want nothing to do with a man, but look like one?Curious I say.

  • mommaknowslots

    You aren’t in touch with your feminine side and your insecurities are showing!!!!

  • mommaknowslots

    Rachel Maddow is a brilliant journalist. 
    Some men Brian are very insecure around women like that.
    Get some counseling.  This can be overcome.

    Let’s just cut right to the chase. You want to control fetuses? Stop controlling the woman’s body and go right to the source.

    Make a law that makes it illegal for a man to place his penis in a woman’s vagina unless it is for the express purpose of procreation.
    (and anyone who cannot handle the words penis or vagina has no business making laws that govern the occassional results of the combination of these 2 bits of anatomy.)
    If a fetus results then the man must take complete responsibility for the woman carrying his baby and full child support until the child is 18 years old.
    (We have genetic testing that can clearly indicate *who* is responsible.)
    Nip the problem PRE-bud!

    The minute laws are created that affect MEN the rhetoric will change. This folks is THE last woman’s rights issue in America.
