MADISON, Wis. - The Wisconsin Assembly approved a ban on the so-called morning-after pill on state college campuses, a restriction that would be the first in the nation if approved.

The vote in the lower chamber late Thursday sends the bill to the state Senate; both are controlled by Republicans. Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle said he will veto the measure if it reaches his desk.

The legislation would prohibit University of Wisconsin System health centers from advertising, prescribing or dispensing emergency contraception — drugs that can block a pregnancy in the days after sex. The state university system has 161,000 students on 26 campuses.

5. Let's re-frame this debate for the Repugs. Here's how...

I apologize if this idea offends. It's not meant to demean the brutality of rape or minimize victim hood, it's just an idea to reframe the debate in terms that normal people can recognize as ridiculous. This bill should and will be vetoed.

A primary use for the morning after pill is for rape victims, something all too common on campuses around the country.

So, instead of framing the debate in terms of the woman in a rape situation, let's frame it in terms of the FATHER.

Something like this:

"We shouldn't punish the rapist father by killing his child?"

or

"What right does the victim of a rapist have to make decisions for the father?"

or

"Every child conceived through rape deserves to know their father"

Thoughts?
