Women voted for birth control
Washington Times [DC], by Editorial

Original Article

Posted By:MissMolly, 11/21/2012 5:40:40 AM

Planned Parenthood is patting itself on the back over President Obama’s victory earlier this month. According to Dawn Laguens, the abortion provider’s executive vice president, women were scared away from Mitt Romney with the threat that he would take away their birth control. Other, seemingly more important issues, such as the fragile state of the economy, record joblessness among women and the foreign-policy debacle in Benghazi, Libya, took a back seat for the 56 percent of female voters who opted for Mr. Obama, intent on securing their “reproductive rights” against a purported Republican onslaught.

WOW!!! Who knew 56% of women in the USA are stupid enough to believe democrat lies???? It appears less than half of all USA women are intelligent, according to the election.

I have an idea---forced sterilization since birth control is so important to them-- think of the results: No liberal offspring by choice or accident, and the issue goes away!

2, maybe that will be the end result; abortion used as a form of birth control, and especially having several of them, does terrible things to a woman´s body.

I thought it was ludicrous when Dem operative Georgie Staphylococcus introduced this faux issue in the very beginning of that ABCNews Republican Primary Debate. I still remember the befuddled reaction of the candidates on stage as little Georgie continued to press the issue beyond all reason. I thought it was nuts. I obviously overestimated the intelligence of the electorate, especially those in need of birth control.

Barack Obama and his Chicago crew obviously correctly judged what would work with this current day electorate.

How selfish!

DOOMING ........... the economy ........... personal liberty ......... social security ............. legal immigrants waiting abroad ............. religious freedom ................ the nation´s healthcare ........... our grandchildren ........... the Constitution ........... the Future of the UNITED STATES.

All because you don´t want to pay $8 a month for birth control pills!

GOP needs to let this issue be as-is.

Take this off the table, and Dems don´t have as tight a grip on women´s vote.

After all, 50% of Catholics voted Democrat who are 100% for abortions.

Let this issue lay dormant and only answer "it´s a private matter between women, and their religious beliefs".

Takes away these targeted single-issue voters from Democrats in future elections. Take a few percentage points here and there from the Democrat column and you have dramatic changes in elections.

As a woman I hate to say this but it appears that most of the women in America are just plain stupid and ignorant. The issue was pay for your own birth control. Republicans do not want to take away your access to birth control they just don´t want to make others pay for your responsibilities.

Reproductive rights! These two words themselves oxymorons. "Reproduce", means to produce self. If to produce self is a right, then these liberals should be calling birth control and abortion as "NON REPRODUCTION RIGHTS" another the other way around.

This was never even any issue on the GOP side - the Dems brought it up, and kept hammering it, and the GOP never countered it in any meaningful way. They should have hammered back just as forcefully, esp. in the swing states. It was a Dem plot start to finish, and they executed it perfectly.

It wasn´t just women in need of birth control who voted on this issue. I know a woman 56 years old who doesn´t need birth control who voted for Obama because "Romney hates women and will destroy Planned Parenthood." This woman had never voted before, this was her first time. She said she absolutely could not stand Romney because of his views on women.

For people who actually use their little grey cells for the proper purpose of thinking, instead of skull mush, there are some pretty scary thoughts on this thread that I agree with wholeheartedly.

I have also read on various blogs that our society began its slow decline to the edge of the cliff the day women were given the vote. As a woman this also does not insult me. The New Testament says that ´captive silly women´ are one of the signs of the end times. There sure are a lot of them, aren´t there?

Agree #8. Republicans should stop discussing this. The idea that Romney would ´take away women´s birth control´ is stupid beyond words and we should stop answering questions about it.


Reply 22 - Posted by: marthaville, 11/21/2012 10:10:33 AM     (No. 9027462)

Apparently no one cares that the White House/Obama Campaign used George Stephanopolous to introduce the questions regarding birth control. As was discussed, no state ever indicated the availability of contraceptives would be restricted.

It would have been easier to have Stephanie Cutter or Jim Messina moderate the debates just so Obama would have had more direct access to the candidates.

It is time for the Republicans to wake up and stop assisting the Democrats in setting up their agenda.

Tell Mike Huckabee and Bobby Jindal that the various Obama constituencies do, in fact, vote based on the free junk furnished by Obama and the Democrats. So what are the Republicans going to give these folks?

On the other hand, I can´t stand the politicians lumping all women together.

MIAMI -- Lilly Pulitzer hosted parties in her bare feet and wasn´t afraid to get a little messy - just as long as she looked good and had fun, too. In the late 1950s, the Palm Beach socialite had time to spare and a wealthy husband who owned citrus groves, so she opened an orange juice stand just off the island´s main shopping street. Pulitzer needed to hide all the juice stains on her clothes,though. Instead of just putting on an apron, she asked her seamstress to make some sleeveless dresses

Still OK to withdraw welfare benefits
at ATMs in Colorado strip clubs
Daily Caller, by Greg Campbell    Original Article

An attempt by Colorado lawmakers to ban welfare recipients from withdrawing their benefits at ATMs located inside strip clubs was killed by Democrats Thursday night, even though the state House’s third-ranking Democratic legislator supported the measure. Democratic Rep. Dan Pabon lent his support to the Republican-led proposal, offered as an amendment during a debate on the state budget Thursday night, because it would hew to a similar federal rule, according to the Denver Post. Pabon introduced a bill on the issue two years ago, but it didn’t clear the state Senate. State welfare recipients receive their benefits

Add the name of Michelle Lynne (ne Robert) Kosilek to the list of modern phenomena the Founding Fathers would definitely not appreciate being blamed for. Little did they know what havoc they would someday wreak by adding the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution to prohibit “cruel and unusual punishment.” Now comes Kosilek, a convicted wife murderer doing life without parole. He/she is claiming that it would be cruel and unusual punishment to deny him/her a sex-change operation — excuse me, “gender-reassignment surgery.”Not to get too graphic, but Kosilek is begging for elective amputation of a body part.

PLEASE don’t ask me this anymore. It’s such a silly question. Of course Hillary is running. I’ve never met a man who was told he could be president who didn’t want to be president. So naturally, a woman who’s told she can be the first commandress in chief wants to be. “Running for president is like sex,” James Carville told me. “No one ever did it once and forgot about it.” Joe Biden wants the job. He’s human (very). But he’s a realist. He knows the Democratic Party has a messianic urge to finish what it started

Two very bad and extremely dangerous economic developments happened yesterday — and Wall Street appeared to miss both of them. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 40.86 points to 14565.25 after the Labor Department announced that the seasonally adjusted number of new jobs created in March was just 88,000 — far below the 190,000 or so Wall Street expected. The March figure was also less than one-third the number of jobs created during February. This led to the misperception that the job market tanked in March. It didn’t.

Duck Dynasty must make liberals heads explode. It is now the most popular “non-scripted” show currently on television. Its Season 3 premiere had 8.6 million viewers and a massive 4.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic, which as you might know, is quite popular with the advertisers. At the same time, each episode ends with the entire family at the dinner table where they pray before eating. Indeed, the Robertson clan is entirely evangelical. They take their faith in Christ seriously and exert quite a bit of effort preaching the gospel. The patriarch of the family, Phil, used to live

Ohio’s Mike DeWine, Alabama’s Luther Strange and Georgia’s Sam Olens, eat your hearts out: President Barack Obama thinks California’s Kamala Harris is the belle of the ball among the nation’s top government lawyers. “She’s brilliant and she’s dedicated, she’s tough … She also happens to be, by far, the best looking attorney general,” Obama said at a Democratic National Committee luncheon in Atherton, Calif., Thursday. “It’s true! C’mon.” Obama’s remark set the chattering class atwitter. Certainly, Obama meant no insult, but in singling out Harris for her looks, Obama joins a long list of public figures

It must be something in the water at the State Department — every secretary sooner or later develops an insatiable yearning to be the guy or gal who finally unlocked the secret to Middle East peace. Now Kerry has the peace process bug. The State Department spokeswoman did her best to lower expectations.

Indeed, it is downright bizarre that while North Korea is saber-rattling, the Syrian war sends reverberations through the region,

Art lovers, put away your wallets: In a surprise statement today, the Met said that it’s never tried to paint over rules requiring it to let anyone in for free. Lots of art connoisseurs know that the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s $25 admission charge is just a suggestion, and that you can get in by paying what you want, or nothing at all. But a lawsuit filed in state Supreme Court last November says the Met hides that policy from visitors.

How to Survive a Sex Scandal:

How do you survive a sex scandal? Public-relations reps and crisis-communications counselors have made careers of dispensing advice on such matters. And so the usual counsel follows a fairly trite and untested path: Be honest from the start. Apologize. Make sure your wife stands behind you. Hogwash, for the most part. Everyone apologizes, nearly everyone’s wife is supportive, and no one is honest from the start. But still some politicians survive sordid situations, and some do not. Why? Let’s allow history to be our guide. There are more than enough examples to choose from. It was only Tuesday that former South Carolina governor

Shocker. Having failed to end Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s congressional career at the polls, the left is now moving to do it the old-fashioned way: Bork Bachmann unto political death. The problem? This really is the old-fashioned way. And any conservative even semi-awake recognizes the game instantly. In this case the game being played with the so-called Office of Congressional Ethics, the OCE. This is what we now call “Borking.” The method of choice of liberals when they are frustrated by the public’s attachment or potential attachment to a political figure on the Right.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Is going gluten-free

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school.
