This is for all of those around the world who do not understand why the US is having a political debate about birth control pills.
Here is the answer: It is not about birth control pills.
It is about Pres BO's attempt to force religious institutions to violate their principles in order to provide lifestyle choices, such as birth control pills or abortion counseling.
It is also a political distraction from rising gasoline prices.
It is also about Pres BO & Dems trying to equate "birth control pills" & abortion with health care.
We remind you that any woman in the US can go to a doctor and get "a birth control pills" prescription. She can even get them for "free" at Planned Parenthood and some clinics across the land. And let's remember that abortion is legal too!

In other words, no one has ever suggested that birth control pills be banned or denied to any woman who wants one.
So what's this all about?
First, who pays for them or who provides them in their health insurance plans? Should a college student attending a Catholic university get "birth control pills" in her student health care plan?
Second, should Catholic hospitals, or charities, be forced to go against their teachings on birth control and abortion?
The left wants a debate about birth control. They got a big "assist' when Rush Limbaugh referred to Miss Fluke as a "slut". (By the way, we posted recently about the left's double standard when it comes to attacking women. Calling a woman a "slut" is rather small compared to what the left has said about Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman and former Sec Condi Rice. Read about it)
We want a debate about Pres BO's mandates. We believe that they are unconstitutional and a threat to our First Amendment freedoms.
Of course, the Dems want to talk about birth control pills because they desperately need a distraction.
They need to distract their supporters from all of those campaign promises that they voted for, such as closing GITMO or passing an immigration reform plan when they had huge majorities in Congress or Pres BO continuing the anti-terror policies that they called the "Bush police state" and the huge deficits that we've rung up in 3 years.

And let's not forget the high unemployment in all of those "black districts" represented by Dems who make up the Black Congressional Caucus. By any objective standard, the Obama administration has been a disaster for black communities that overwhelming voted for him.
Want a birth control pill? Go to your doctor and get one.
Want some truth? Don't buy into all of this liberal nonsense that Republicans are waging a war on women. We are fighting for the First Amendment!
