… you never know what you’ll find …
Colorado Republican Congressman and U.S. Senate Candidate Cory Gardner has suggested birth control pills should be over-the-counter as part of his campaign platform and stance on women’s health. Instead of applauding Gardner’s approach, which would greatly expand women’s access to birth control, Planned Parenthood has come out against him. The justification? Obamacare and government dependence for women is better.
“If Cory Gardner and others were serious about expanding access to birth control, they wouldn’t be trying to repeal the no-copay birth control benefit, reduce Title X funding for birth control, or cut women off from Planned Parenthood’s preventive health services. This is simply a cynical political attempt to whitewash his terrible record and agenda for women’s health. The reality is that Cory Gardner’s proposal would actually cost women more by forcing them to pay out of pocket for the birth control that they are getting now at no cost thanks to the ACA. We would welcome a sincere conversation about expanding birth control access for women – sadly Cory Gardner has not offered one,” Planned Parenthood Action Fund Executive Vice President Dawn Laguens said in a statement.
Big government leftists like Laugens wage their own war on women by making them more dependent on government and by treating them like victims. Planned Parenthood wants to limit access to contraception so long as it’s “free” with a prescription through big government mandates in Obamacare and 100 percent higher healthcare premiums for women overall, proving that this isn’t about access to birth control, but instead making women dependent on Uncle Sam at all costs.
Feminism is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Left. It is not, and never was, about independence for women. The Left defines one’s primary relationship in life is not with God or Family or even Country, but with The State.
The Flukization of millennial females continues apace.

And I’m enough of a cynic to speculate that Planned Parenthood’s real beef is over the money they’d lose from the abortion-services market.
Having you pay for what they want is how they know they are winning.
We need to sell them more rope to hang themselves with.
birth control for men you can get over the counter for sure
but men don’t need special supervision
Trouble is, McGehee, there is a substantial number of people here in The [former] United States who will fall for Planned Parenthood’s con.
I remain convinced that the pessimism I see expressed on the internet these days is far less warranted than is generally believed.
The electorate failed, and has been too long waking up, but waking up it is. The leadership failed and remains in a stupor, but will be awakened in its turn.
>I remain convinced that the pessimism I see expressed on the internet these days is far less warranted than is generally believed.<
i was pondering not voting for tom corbett, but now i just want to vote anti demonrat.
That would be a good idea… allow “anti-voting”. Say you don’t want to show active support for any candidate, but there is one guy you DEFINITELY don’t want to be elected. So you cast an “anti-vote”. The total number of anti-votes any given candidate receives is deducted from the number of regular votes he/she receives, and whoever has the most at the end of the process is elected, just as before.
But if anyone actually ends up with a negative number of votes, they have 48 hours to pack and leave the jurisdiction of the office for which he/she was running, whether city, county, State, congressional district, unified school district, whatever.
– Apparently the rats in the Bumbledick administration have no shame what-so-ever. The duplicity just goes on forever with these bums.

Mondale would be a man without a country, having lost elections in all 50 states.
“I remain convinced that the pessimism I see expressed on the internet these days is far less warranted than is generally believed.

I’m positively fatalistic. The tipping point is past, per Franklin’s warning.
Also, the electorate hardly even matters any more at this point, being as the bureaucracy basically runs the country with no accountability. Reagan won in a landslide and couldn’t even dent the dept. of Education. 35 years ago. Now the Dept of Education has it’s own SWAT team, and the whole government behemoth has grown by ten fold. Now we have Homeland Security consolidating the police state, Obamacare that makes you and everyone else government property , and don’t even get me started on the IRS. You really believe the electorate is going to affect any of that?
No, my friend, we are well and truly fucked, and it’s just a matter of keeping well lubed anymore.
Mondale would be a man without a country, having lost elections in all 50 states.
Actually, he did win Minnesota* – albeit by less than 4,000 out of more than 2 million votes cast – and the District of Columbia (which has never voted Republican since they got their electoral votes in 1961).
And it also only applies to those who end up with more anti-votes than actual votes, not just losing an election.
* – what IS it with those Snowbillies? First Mondale, then Ventura, and now Franken? Does the cold rot their self-interest or just their sanity?
*same day registration.
also, dirty scandis.
First of all, Ventura hadn’t identified himself as a complete lunatic when he won. Second, he won a plurality in a three-way race.
Franken won the old-fashioned way; he cheated. Brazenly.
he cheated. Brazenly.
– Its not that they’re brazen, it’s that they know no one can or will do a damn thing to stop them. Bumblefuck reached something of a pinnacle in rogue lawless executive malfeasance and high crimes against the Constitution.
Like Jerry Brown and his third term as California governor. No one stopped him. Legally he was not qualified to be Attorney General either.
Mondale lost in Minnesota too, when he ran for the Senate after Wellstone died in a plane crash during the campaign. The “lost in all 50 states” thing was a meme for a little while after that.
I recall the wellstone extravaganza after he died. Progressives being progressives can be highly annoying.
An office-mate cried because he had died. It’s not like she even knew him, either.
