Why is Pat Tiberi stepping on your rights to birth control?

Looking back on the work of the Republicans in the House of Representatives, we can see that they have done nothing to improve your lives.  As an example, I give you Republican Rep. Pat Tiberi (OH-12). 

Pat Tiberi voted for the Paul Ryan budget plan (see Roll Call Vote 277, 4/15/11), which would end Social Security and Medicare, and hand out vouchers to the elderly who would then need to go and shop for health insurance.  According to the LA Times, the elderly would end up putting more of their own money out for insurance under the Paul Ryan plan than if we just continued with our current programs.

Tiberi sponsored only 8 bills in this current Congress, and not one of them has been signed into law.  Are they too radical?

In an article posted at FoxNews, Republican Rep. Pat Tiberi takes the side of the clergy over the rights of women to have birth control.  I'm offended that Pat Tiberi thinks he speaks for women.  If 99% of American women have used birth control at a time in their lives, and 98% of Catholic women have used birth control, why is Pat Tiberi stepping on our rights to choose our method of birth control.  Why is Pat Tiberi involved in the Republican Party's war against women?????
