I’m not obsessed with birth control. Never used it, never will.

I think he's always trying to equate birth control with abortion and get the left fired up. There's a big difference, for all but the insane that use abortion as their form of birth control.

And Obama accuses Republicans of “a war on women”. Yes, I know, women get pregnant. But Obama never talks about the male’s responsibility. You can get a birth control Rx for $9.00 a month. A condom a day cost more then that, but it's not covered in Obamacare (and it shouldn't be) because it won't win him any votes! It's all about him winning, nothing about health care or contraception. And the pill doesn't protect against disease.

Every now and then someone will inadvertently put himself at the head of the line.

So, here's the test of the utility of your argument. If, as you suggest, there are too many folks around already, prove it the ethical way ~ remove yourself.

After that happens I'll look around and see if I feel more crowded or less crowded!

Why is it when conservatives simply don’t want to have government pay for something that we are suddenly against it? It’s as if some people are denied something because they simply have to pay for it. They can buy all the birth control they want but I do not wish to pay for it nor do I want businesses and churches being required to “cover it” which is code for the government paying for it.

At this rate we may even get government produced condoms tested out by barney frank. Can you imagine? Then if they break some idiot would sue the government.

>> I do not understand why conservatives would be against planning and spacing of children

I have no problem with the concept of planning and spacing of children.

I DO have a problem with forcing those who oppose contraception to pay for contraception.

I have a REAL problem with MURDERING children to implement that “planning and spacing”.

Any questions?

I am not suggesting removing anyone, I am suggesting that people be allowed/encouraged? to reproduce responsibly and in proportion to ability to care for your own children rather than ask the state to do so. I chose to produce 2 children, one of whom is now serving in Afghanistan. Perhaps you think it would serve me right if he gets killed there??

“And how does this question have anything to do with tonight’s topic on foreign policy, Bob?

Given the unfolding debacle in the middle east and 2000 American soldiers dead in afghanistan, don’t the American people deserve to hear a debate about where this country’s foreign policy has been and where it is going? Next question...”

This is the typical leftist meme: accuse your enemy of the crimes you are the one committing. The left has always been obsessed with abortion. Who made Sandra Fluke a talking point?

Oh, I think we know what Cyman’s real “beef” is — he has a woody for Obama.

Jussssst ONCE, I’d like to hear one of these DNC Stenographers ask:

“What is your view of fetal pain as it relates to late term abortion?”

Liberals are the ones who obsess about birth control, it was Sandra Skank who spoke at the DNC wearing a condom necklace.

Republicans don’t care, we just don’t want to pay for others’ birth control. That is all.

No conservative is against that. No conservative would ever be for government compulsion or funding of those things either. That would take a tyrant.

One reason the insurance companies have not raised heck about providing free contraceptive services, is that they will save money on reduced numbers of pregnancies and childhood illness. So, what you should complain about is if they do not lower your insurance costs because of the money they are saving. I am not aware of religious insurance companies. Non religious employees at a religiously oriented place served by a non religious insurance company are not forcing that place to pay for contraception either.

Taxpayers should not be paying for people birth control, period.
