Wow, I'm shocked but I guess I shouldn't be.
Congressman Chris Smith(NJ-4) is a a staunch Catholic right to lifer, who believes that woman should not be in control of their own bodies and has declared war on a woman’s right to make choices that impact her health and her life.
Smith is part of the radical right-wing of the Republican Party that supports eliminating key preventive health services for women. He has fought against services like mammograms, cervical cancer screenings, and birth control, with no additional co-pays as provided for by the Affordable Care Act.
To him, women are second-class citizens.
Here is a video of a woman asking members of Republican Congressman Chris Smith’s staff about his policy on birth control. They reply by asking her if, "she has ever heard about keeping aspirin between her knees?... It works every time it starts".
When the woman asks if that was a serious comment their response was,"about as serious as you want to take it".
Well, I and others take this very seriously and I think Mr. Smith should clarify what his representatives meant by their statements and denounce their comments.

Smith hasn’t commented on any of the many previously made offensive Republican statements including Rep Akin’s "legitimate rape" and Foster Friess’ ‘aspirin between the knees’ statements.
Apparently he believes that when you are in a war (against women) you don’t criticize your allies.

Chris Smith, as the sponsor of HR-3, first introduced the heinous term "forcible rape". His main obsession in his over 30 years in Congress has been to chip away at a woman's right to choose. We need a representative focused on bringing back our economy, not a career politician who seeks to impose his religious views on his constituency.
