So many straw men, so little time...
I was a foster care provider for kids in the CPS system before I started traveling 40% of the year. We opened up our home to the very kids you'd have preferred seeing killed off at 22 weeks. We still assist with a group home with special-ed and drug-exposed kids who were either abandoned by their parents or taken away by CPS.
If you'd like to come try that on for a week or two, feel free. But I suspect you're one of those armchair liberals who like to hoist the petards, yet have never actually stepped foot in a homeless shelter, a group home, or taken the steps to become foster certified.
If birth control pills aren't being prescribed for birth control, then they're not birth control pills -- they're a prescription.
Again, since you miss the obvious, I could care less if a woman wants to use BCP's. If they want to take 'em, take 'em.
Apparently, the survey Gallup did two years ago agrees with me:
http://www.gallup.com/poll/154799/americans-including-catholics-say-birth-control-morally.aspx
The results are pretty clear: 90% Dems, 89% Ind, and 87% Reps don't have a problem with birth control.
Where we seem to differ is who should have to pay for what amounts to a personal choice.
I don't ask taxpayers or anyone else in my insurance pool to pay for my daily fix of caffeine, which to me is just as much of a health-care choice.
The only thing you've been able to parrot is "Republicans hate women" and "Republicans think what is best for women".
If someone wants BCP's in their health plan, let them choose a plan that offers it, and stop asking everyone else who doesn't need it to pay for it.
