I’m asking out of genuine curiosity about the opinions when it comes to Republican women and the birth control brouhaha.  Short of The Distinguished Ladies From Maine wanting to see “final details” of President Obama’s rule changes to provide contraception coverage through insurance companies, I’ve heard basically nothing from prominent conservative women this week on, as Emily said below, the GOP’s trip back in time.  It’s mind-blowingly obvious as to what I think about the sheer horror of it all, but I’m seriously trying to figure out if it’s silence that implies support (or silent rage), if it’s none of my damned business, or if I’m just completely missing something.

After Saturday night, I think she should be renamed:

“Lizz Winstead, Heroic Supporter Of Planned Parenthood”

Much delicious eyecandy after the jump.
