Foster Friess, the money behind Rick Santorum’s Super PAC, offered his own inexpensive alternative to the more-traditional contraception methods that have become the center of a political firestorm.

On MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, Friess suggested that “Back in my days they used bayer aspirin for contraceptives,” adding, “The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.”

The full quote:

“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 that 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 days, they used Bayer Aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.”
