I do not understand the hate for Rush and the support for Fluke by average, non-political women.

I work with 10-14 women (non political types as you mentioned)on a regular basis and they are running to the democrat platform over all this contraception crap.

This issue is going to kill the GOP at election time. Most women want gov't out of their uterus even if they don't take BC

And, that's EXACTLY why they put Fluke out there. She just didn't happen to stop by Congress for a chat.

Nothing hides 10% unemployment & $5 a gallon gasoline like a little cat fight.

I don't think so because there is still 8 months for women voters to figure out that they are being lied to by the Democrats. They can see for themselves what birth control ACTUALLY costs, and realize that there isn't any problem.

There is also 8 months for them to digest the distinction between free and open access to birth control and having someone else pay for it.

In the short term, these tactics work. But not in the long run.

Meanwhile, the Democrats are going to lose a significant slice of the Catholic vote, even if Catholics simply stay home.

Obama's loss of the Catholic vote is going to slaughter the Democrats on election day in Democrat voter turn-out.

Even though Republicans started with a valid issue, religious employers being forced to provide drugs that they find morally objectionable, I can fully imagine Republicans losing this war of words and images to Dems. After all, they have lost every battle they tried with Obama since taking the house last year.

After seeing how Pelosi (and her lib women house members) used the Issa hearing by claiming it was a ‘ panel on women's health issues’, they should have known exactly what their line of propaganda would be to Blunt Amendment. It was the same and the MSM picked up on it again.

For example, what if the congressional Republicans went out as a team (as Pelosi manages) and kept repeating that the Blunt amendment and this fight is really about mandating that women, or maybe the Church, pay for Viagra for men? (just an example.) The goal is to neutralize Dems strategies and turn them around on them. Women who see 'free BC' to women as a big plus need to understand why these mandates are bad for them too. Republicans never think of that.

Republican have this bad habit of not seeing that they are losing the war of words and then doubling down on the same strategy, and then caving when total destruction is within an arms reach.

Dems FIGHT TO WIN, Especially Pelosi.

Hey noob. Welcome to freerepublic.

How exactly does government/insurance paying for contraception take the government out of your uterus?

It looks to me like your statement, or the “10-14 women” you supposedly work with, are about 180 degrees out of phase.

BTW, I pretty sure that’s the first time I’ve every typed or even spelled “uterus”. Thanks a lot.

I have been a woman on this earth for many years and the government has never been in control of my uterus. I am not a wealthy person but I have always been able to find very cheap birth control. So, this is not about birth control. This is about a dictatorship which will never stop until it dictates who lives and who dies. The charade going on now is just another small step toward that kind of destruction. The left never tells the truth and the double standard is their workshop. I watched THE VIEW again today just to see how ridiculous Joy Behar would get in defense of her idols and allies and came away wondering about Elizabeth Hassleback. Only God knows where all of this is going. I think people are literally scared for their
livelihoods and, maybe, even their lives.
