Ma'am, I have to see a copy of your W-2 before I can sell you those condoms.

2008 White House hopeful Hillary Clinton is blaming right wing "ideologues" for denying women access to contraceptives - leaving them no choice but to end their unwanted pregnancies with abortion.
The move to withhold contraceptives "was started by a small group of extreme ideologues who claim the right to impose their personal beliefs on the overwhelming majority of the American people," Clinton declared in an e-mail to supporters on Wednesday.
"They're waging this silent war on contraception by using the power of the White House and their right-wing allies in Congress," she complains, adding, "and so far, they're getting away with it."
So just how are these right wing ideologues driving up the abortion rate? Clinton explains:
"Low-income women, denied access to contraception, are having more unwanted pregnancies - four times as many as those for higher income women. And almost half of all unwanted pregnancies end in abortions."
The former first lady didn't explain, however, why - in places like New York City, where high school nurses' offices distribute candy-flavored condoms - the abortion rate continues to soar.

In January, for instance, the New York Daily News reported:
"For every 100 babies born in New York City, women had 74 abortions in 2004, according to newly released figures that reaffirm the city as the abortion capital of the country ... That means 40 out of 100 pregnancies in the city ended in a planned abortion - almost double the national average of 24 of 100 pregnancies in 2002."
Editor's note
Ya know Ya know Ya know Ya know Ya know
I can think of 100 places between my office and my house to buy condoms if I wanted or needed them. Considering that Hillary is my Senator, she is obviously insane. I can't believe my fellow NY'ers are so dumb to fall for her shtick.
It's the fault of all those right wingers in New York City.
I just wish the Clinton family doctor would stop denying Hilary Clinton access to lithium.
"Low-income women, denied access to contraception"
Wow I didn't realize right wing whack jobs had barred Low-income women from visiting grocery stores, pharmacies, convienence stores, and even some health clincs. (I hear all of those places have rubbers.)
Is this for real?? She really said this??? This is not a satire????
But they are not readily available in schools where young boys need them most as they are seduced by their desparate teacher.
Oh but see, you have to BUY them. Unless they are given out freely, they are not available. Having condoms is a Consitutional right.
"But I guess when you haven't had sex in over 20 years like Hillary, you wouldn't know that."
With a man, you mean. I'm sure the members of PFLAG aren't up on the latest methods of birth control either.
The woman is plain stupid which in the eyes of Democrats makes her a hero.
Wow. Is it me, or does the Smartest Woman in the World sound really stupid?
This woman is a joke. And to think people believe she will run for the Presidency. She'll never make it.
The thing I don't get, how exactly are these 'right wing idealogues' keeping these women from using contraceptives? Or, those claims that the White House and their 'congress friends' as she put it, are preventing the use in anyway. I'd say she doesn't make any sense, but then.. when did a Clinton ever do anything that made sense.
"Oh but see, you have to BUY them. Unless they are given out freely, they are not available."
I used to go to the local Health Department and get them for free by the bag-fulls. Literally. She's just making crap up out of thin air.
All they'd have to do is go to the neighborhood middle school. They could get them for free there.
let's see her use this on the campaign trail
**snort** Have you listened closely to some of the things your fellow New Yorkers say around election time?
Yeah, because if all else fails, blame the imaginary boogie man that is the "radical right winger".
I hope she keeps talking.
Are you telling me Hillary Rohdam Clinton, the former first lady of this great county, just makes stuff up to try to score political points with her base??? Oh come on, next you are going to tell me Bill Clinton is a congenital liar.
This is why this woman will never be President. An opponent would knock this one out of the park. This is just blatant stupidity.
"For every 100 babies born in New York City, women had 74 abortions in 2004"
Another suspect statistic coming out of the queen of lies. We're suppose to believe New York City has a 74% abortion rate? The Clintons are masters at cooking up statistics, just like when they tried to claim 160 million Americans have no health insurance. And even if this abortion stat. is true, how are conservatives to blame for the amorality of the most liberal city in the country, New York City?? You mean to tell me somehow in a hard core Democratic state like New York and in their most hard-core Democratic city, there is no where to find contraceptives? Oh that's right, since there isn't a government bureacrat on every street corner in the city handing them out for free, that's the fault of conservatives. I'd certainly hate to blame Democratic sluts for the pregnancy and abortion rates in the City of Mindless Hedonism, New York.
Right! I must have missed that part in the Declaration of Independence. Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and free condoms. Its right there!
As far as I'm aware it's for real. You really can still be shocked by anything this looney tune sputters forth?
Sadly, yes. Yes, I have.
This really help- it shows how tone deaf and out of touch she is, good chance for a more serious miscue in the future.
I say we all:
Go to the nearest health clinic, get free condoms (or buy them) and mail them to Hitlery. Then she can pander and distribute them to those who are denied, at the same time.
Oh yeah, and throw in some specially ribbed ones just for her. And whoever she can get stinkin' drunk so he'll sleep w/ her.
Ma'am, I have to see a copy of your W-2 before I can sell you those condoms.
Bill is a better liar than Hillary, which may be a saving grace. If Republicans don't start challenging her, to her face, over her fabrications, they deserve to lose.
Because she's been making these jerky, preposterous attempts to move toward the 'center' and appease the moral swing voters.
And now, she's blaming 'right wingers' for abortion??
IMO, this one's a bit bizarre, even for Bizarro Rodham.....
>"For every 100 babies born in New York City, women had 74 abortions in 2004"

I think you may have misinterpreted this somewhat. This statistic didn't come from Clinton - it was cited by the New York Daily News last January.
Additionally, it isn't saying that 74 out of every 100 pregnancies in New York are aborted. It is saying that for every 100 live births, there are another 74 pregnancies that end in abortion. That gives about a 42.5% abortion rate. After factoring in other causes for termination such as miscarriage and death of the mother, the reported rate of approximately 40% seems pretty accurate.
good one :-)
Someone needs to take way her crack pipe.
Thanks. I guess I went off half-cocked on that one. But even a 40% abortion rate is appalling. But then it is New York City.
Leave aside this fallacy of women being denied access to birth control, how much does saying NO cost??
>>The move to withhold contraceptives "was started by a small group of extreme ideologues who claim the right to impose their personal beliefs on the overwhelming majority of the American people," Clinton declared in an e-mail to supporters on Wednesday.<<
The anti-contraceptive folks do statisically increase the number of abortions. But the final responsibility lies with the person who decides to have the abortion.
She wants the government to buy them with your money and give them away to people who will vote for her.
It's not about contraception. It's about power, everywhere and always.
Lord, God,
Hasn't this Shrillery piece of human disaster been on the public stage several times more than long enough? Please remove her--preferably to some very out of the way place without any modern communications facilities. It might even be more than enormously fitting for her to have permanent lock-jaw. She's well beyond insufferable, Lord. Please do something before the election!
You got that right. My hubby had to take a test at the Health Department in MI for our wedding in Oklahoma. Afterwards the person who was helping him opened up a desk drawer full of condomns and gave him a handful.
Hare is a column about it from WND.
WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT? Does this woman just say these things off the top of her head? If this is the best her writers can come up with...wow.
I have a hunch that a concerted FREEPER effort amongst the Jews of New York proving her horrible hostility toward Jews and Israel and her affinity for Arafart and his corrupt club of gangbangers . . . wouldn't we be able to turn enough of them away from her to scuttle her goals?
They can't all be as dumb as the rest of New York's DIMRAT voters.
I just wish the Clinton family doctor would stop denying Hilary Clinton access to lithium.
- - -
Does she take LSD by IV? Her reality testing is about as good as her evil values.
Has anyone ever introduced her to Oregon law or Dr . . . well anyway.
I guess next we'll have a constitutional right and tons of DIMRAT funding to give lots of
little
Johnnies . . . something . . . longer.
She's a senator. Let her sponsor a bill to put a voluntary $1 contribution check box on every tax return. You know, like "check here to donate to the condom fund for two-Democrat families."
