Overnight Open Thread: Dems Try to Manufacture New Voting Bloc

By Doug Powers  •  February 20, 2012 10:24 PM

**Written by Doug Powers

Here’s something brief for overnight discussion, and I’m a little ashamed of myself for not seeing it coming sooner because it’s so predictable: “Birth Control Moms.”

    You SHOULD be ashamed, Doug. EVERYBODY knows moms are being deprived of their birth control by those fanatic conservatives. ONLY the government can guarantee equitable distribution of birth control provisions. It’s patently obvious, and you should know this if you want to factor in as a blogger. FOR SHAME!

    There’s that word again in the article,”free”. If you use it enough
    then people will believe it’s “free”.
    This is only a distraction from the
    real issue of jobs, and generally the economy.
    On this distraction I’ve not heard one Republican candidate say they would outlaw contraception. What, are they going to take rubbers off the market?
    Just one more thing you can put in the “come on man”, circular file.

    Abortion Moms. Obama could ask Congress to write a bill giving social security death benefits to Abortion Moms. Forcing life insurance companies to issue policies to Abortion Moms’ prior to murdering their unborn babies. Gov Chris Christie would lower the flag to half-staff for Abortion Moms.

    Of course we’ve always had free birth control. Don’t they have classes at school that tell the kids what causes pregnancy?

    Good thing they aren’t planting land mines instead. Stay on target and use the Ronald Reagan approach. “There you go again!”, “Are you promoting taxpayer paid abortion again?”, “Will this be part of the highly unpopular and unaffordable ObamaCare forced mandate program?” ripostes would be appropriate.

    Since Planned Parenthood is all about “women’s health” rather than abortion (c’mon–they told us so!), maybe they should distribute the “free” birth control pills.

    They’re “free”, so it wouldn’t cost anything. I’m sure they’d be happy to give up the 350,000 abortions (at, what, $500 a pop) they commit every year, by distributing the pill to their constituent customers. Because they don’t care about anything but women’s health. They told us so!

    isn’t this like the whole stem cell debate? nobody was banning stem cell research, just government funds to pay for it. and the dems were saying the gop was banning this potential life saving research. now the gop is against another government handout, not against contraceptives. but the dems are going to have lots of ads, saying the gop is for banning birth control. they like twisting the truth.

    But I thought Planned Parenthood was doing such a standup job of taking care of “women’s health issues” on the tax payer dime, so why would Obamacare even need to worry about BC in insurance policies?

    This is about religious freedoms (a beleif our country was founded on) not access to birth control (that never made it into the founding documents).

    If it were left up to leftists own nature, they would contracept, abort, homosexualize and euthanize themselves out of existence.

    But that’s now how leftists behave. Another part of leftist nature is they must impose their beliefs on others.
    They must be able to get non-leftists’ children and propagandize them into the next generation of leftists.

    This is why they take over the pubic schools (misspelling intentional) so they can turn your kids into little Marxists.

    So let’s save a whole lot of money and prevent ALL pregnancies.
    Saves a lot of money does it not? Maybe in the short term but in the long run who is going to pay the bills when we are too old? Is it not the children that Barack Obama wants to prevent in order to save money?
    A bit of a flaw in his logic, is it not?

    Both in terms of abortion and ushering into western nations swarms of immigrants and illegal aliens from dysfunctional cultures who have no sense or desire for their own population control.
