In Denver, Obama campaigns on free contraception

Charlie Spiering

Speaking at a Women for Obama event in Denver, Colorado, President Obama touted free contraception offered to women by the Affordable Care Act. The president was introduced by contraception activist Sandra Fluke, who became the center of a controversy earlier this summer, after she spoke out against Catholic colleges that did not cover contraceptives.

Obama reminded the audience that because of his reforms, insurance plans were covering the full cost of contraceptives, which he said was “crucial” for women’s health because it was used not only for family planning, but it prescribed by doctors to “reduce the risk of ovarian cancer.”

“And it’s good for our health care system in general because we know that the overall cost of care is lower when women have access to contraception services,” Obama added.

Obama explained that his administration worked with people who held “strong religious views on contraception.”

“We worked with Catholic hospitals and universities to find a solution that protects both religious liberty and a woman’s health,” Obama insisted. (But in fact, over 40 prominent Catholic organizations, including Notre Dame University is suing the Obama administration to block the HHS contraceptive mandate.)

“The fact is that nearly 99 percent of women have relied on contraception at some point.” Obama continued. “And more than half of all women between the ages of 18-34 have struggled to afford it.”

“We’re changing that,” Obama proclaimed.

At some point, this will change from “free contraceptives” to mandatory sterilization. “A government that will give you everything will also take everything.”

So homosexual males don’t get free condoms via the affordable healthcare act?

They still get and spread STDs. That is a healthcare issue.

Obama is a divider, not a uniter.

WORST PRESIDENT EVER.

Contrception is never free. It destroys marriages and often destroys the woman’s ability to conceive when they do want to have children.

Just never thought I’d see the day when the President of the United States would stand up with some total TRAMP and pitch crap about birth control ...like it’s a right — and people would cheer him on for it!

How did we get to this point? I just have no words.

I don't know but you're definitely seeing greasy hair that isn't cut in a very flattering way for that face.

HITLER RANTS ABOUT SANDRA FLUKE

FISK THE FLUKE.

Seriously, this mutt has been fisked -- dating a rich Libtard douchebag, pictures of her partying on expensive vacations -- and the reason we can't get that out there is because the guy most likely to get that out there into the firmament is the one who called her a 'slut'; and now the whole topic of her hypocrisy and craven, fame-seeking sockpuppetry via Bobo's talking head fishtank SDKnickerbocker is verboten.

As is the whole story about the direct collusion between SDK and the network media -- Steponallofus and other Journolists pre-planning to use the (SDKfishery-provided talking) Fluke as agitprop, in hopes of flooding the zone against the inevitable Catholic backlash from Bobo's pre-planned announcement of free contraceptives -- itself an immoral sop for the women's vote, without which he will lose this election.

“ANd remember, no matter what she says or does, even if f#cked by Obama and others, SHE IS ALWAYS RIGHT” (sarcasm off)

What a mulsim loophole, what a concept, what a bunch of corrupt lawyers.
