Amy Schumer appears to be living under the delusion that religious liberty laws make birth control totally unavailable.
One of her latest sketches parodies the usual “ask you doctor if birth control is right for you” medication ads–only to continue, “Then ask your boss if birth control is right for you…ask your boss to ask his priest…tap a mailman on the shoulder…ask an old black man and an Asian boy playing chess…”
You get the idea.
Then comes the kicker–after a frustrated Schumer is told by her pharmacist that she can’t get refills, a tiny child approaches the counter.
“Can I have a gun?”
“Remember, that’s your right,” he’s told.
The implication is presumably that, when religious employers like Hobby Lobby don’t want to provide specific kinds of birth control, women are at a loss and left wandering the streets begging men for a prescription. Despite the fact that even Hobby Lobby coverage provides co-pay free access to a plethora of other birth control options, from birth control pills to patches, rings, and vasectomies. Or you could just, ya know, pay for it.
But according to Schumer–and NARAL, which feverishly applauded the sketch–a business declining to provide any kind of coverage to an employee is basically the same as enslaving her womb to The Patriarchy.
Also, where in America are they giving out guns that easily? Can she hook a sister up?
