![]() Paul Ryan/Eddie Munster: separated at birth Apparently, he missed a lot of Civic classes in the 6th grade. He’s also vehemently against the law’s birth control coverage, saying it “violates ourįounding principles” to not allow people to deny women basic health care He is, of course, opposed to the Affordable Care Act.
