Do you remember the Republican debate with Mitt Romney's baffled response to George Stephanopoulos' question about banning contraception?
"Contraception?" he said in amazement, " It's working just fine. Leave it alone!" Until then, it had not been part of the conversation ... it wasn't an issue ..... but it quickly became one.
It is a part of the totally fabricated "war on women" ... an obviously baseless attempt by the Left to win female votes. They want us to believe in a Republican plot to deny women's rights.
Since I AM a woman and have BEEN one my entire adult life, I can speak with a certain amount of experience. I am NOT concerned if my health insurance now covers, or ever did cover contraception. Anyone who can walk into a Walgreens, can get some. And if the Left doesn't think we know that simple bit of logic, then I am offended at their assumption of our stupidity. Trust me, women do the majority of the shopping in our society and we know on which aisle to find the birth control.
The "war on women" is a blatant yet perfect example of a smoke screen. It is the Left's distraction from the real crisis of an over-sized, inefficient, bloated government that they are unwilling to rein in ... and the growing dangers of the national debt. They are sounding alarms about running out of aspirin on the Titanic, while ignoring the iceberg.
As a woman, I am concerned about the future of this country. I am worried that the day will come when we can no longer sustain a debt that grows over three billion a day! We cannot even pay the interest, unless spending is cut. All debts come due and unless our government does what must be done, we are headed towards total financial collapse.
THAT is not only a war on women, it is a war on America and most especially ... it is a war on our children.
I LOVE this post! So true! It is such a smokescreen for the real problems we are facing. I have had conversations with liberals about this and it actually goes deeper from what I can tell. They actually believe that they and "we" have a responsibility to keep "poor" people from having babies, and that they "can't take care of" children because they are poor. They assume that because a person qualifies for free contraception from the government that they would not make good parents anyway. If you dig even deeper, you will find that many hard left people believe that there should be population control in this country. They have published books about this. One of Obama's Zars has thrown out the idea of putting some sort of birth control in the public water systems. NOT KIDDING. But anyway......This is shocking to me because first of all, the fact that they assume that poorer people would automatically be "bad" parents merely because they are poor is beyond crazy. That children should not be born to poorer parents simply because they are poor is also shocking. And the whole population control issue seems like more of a war on women than anything I have ever heard from the conservative right.
