It cures headaches, can help during a heart attack and now, according to a major contributor to presidential candidate Rick Santorum's Super PAC, aspirin can be used as a contraceptive.
During an exchange with MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell, billionaire investor Foster Friess had this to say about the use of aspirin to prevent pregnancy:
Mitchell: Do you have any concerns about some of his comments on social issues, contraception, about women in combat, and whether that would hurt his general election campaign would he be the nominee?
Friess: I get such a chuckle when these things come out. Here we have millions of our fellow Americans unemployed, we have jihadist camps being set up in Latin America, which Rick has been warning about, and people seem to be so preoccupied with sex. I think it says something about our culture. We maybe need a massive therapy session so we can concentrate on what the real issues are. And this contraceptive thing, my gosh, it’s such inexpensive. Back in my day, they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.
Mitchell's response is absolutely priceless:
Excuse me, I’m just trying to catch my breath from that, Mr. Friess, frankly.
Frankly, Ms. Mitchell, I think we all are.
