They cost a lot more than $15 without insurance. Just saying.

I saw a meme about this, can't find it now. But the last time we elected a unified GOP government was 1928. The Great Depression started the next year.

I always heard that women could go and get them from the Health Dept. for a very low cost.

Didn't GW Bush have a few years of it too?

Yes. In 2004 Bush had GOP majorities in the House and Senate.

Some can, if they are impoverished. There is a wide stripe of people, though, that fall into the "make too much for the clinic, make too little to afford insurance" range.

Yeah, the meme was wrong, probably why it was taken down. Still, funny to think about. I mean, we saw the recession after they had their unified government the last time, so, hey.

In the two to three year span following the 2004 election, we had the Housing Crisis and the Great Recession. Perhaps that fact added to the 1928 facts shows a more powerful indication of what happens during GOP majority rule.

I like the part in the lower left owning up to what will happen under a Trump presidency. Logic and reason certainly went out the window with this election.

I see Yale over there in the corner of the picture too. Now we will see how much better things run without all these fancy degreed "experts" running the show. Wharton School of Business is ok, and maybe Liberty University, but not Yale, Harvard, Princeton, or Berkeley.
Sunsetbengal is keepin' it lively, and for that I thank him.
