Pew Poll, BEFORE obama's latest WAR on Religion, the decision to FORCE religious organizations to provide and pay for BC, contraception that their religion rejects. This latest power grab by obama will not work and is SURE to set Christians even more against him.
You would have thought he learned something from the latest SCOTUS ruling about the federal government dictating their secular beliefs onto religious org.
If anyone still fees that this whole contraception fiasco hasn't turned women away from the Republican party, then you keep right on believing it. Catholic women do not and will not let themselves be put back into a situation where religion and men decide about their rights as women or their choices about childbirth........ those days are going fast. It's ok for wealthy politicians to have 5,6,7,8,9 etc etc children but normal working women do not have the money or space or time to support large families. If the men were giving birth, this would not be a issue but men do not go through the pain of childbirth and so why should they worry............... Idiots!
Speaking as a Republican, any woman who isn't aware she can get conctraception at Walmart and doesn't need to have the government mandate that her insurance provide it for free is quite frankly too much of a moron for me to want her in my party anyway.

What is the price of this contraception at Walmart?
Why do the Catholic bishops have no problem with supplying Viagra? Could men be using this Viagra for extramarital sex?

Oh of course. when a woman is trying to make ends meet on very little money and feed her family and clothe them and spend her time running from low paying job to low paying job... not to mention the catholic women who's husbands treat them like the "maid" and gives them just enough money to buy basic food or the worry of no health cover etc etc etc etc........ they can then go buy contraception at Walmarts. Of course Hubby can go get his dose of Viagra so he can "put it about" while his wife does everything else....
This is the problem with Republican's............ they don't live in the real world. This is 2012.... NOT 1912 but Republicans refuse outright to move forward.
Yeah....Catholics, LESS the liberal ones, don't mind at all having the government dictate to the institution on their conscious objections regarding birth control, sterilization and abortion pills.
Again, obama won 54% of Catholics in 2008 - think he'll win that many again?
There is another pulpit, besides the bully one, that can be of great influence and generate genuine outrage for an administration that thinks it's will can usurp the constitution.
We'll see how it plays out in Nov.

53. Do you think that health insurance plans should cover birth control as preventive care for women or not?
Yes: 71
No: 24
58. If you agreed with a presidential candidate on other issues, but not on the issue of abortion, do you think you could still vote for that candidate or not?
Yes.....62%
No.....29%
59. In general, do you agree or disagree with the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that established a woman's right to an abortion?
Yes.....64%
No.....31%
55. As you may know, President Obama recently announced an adjustment to the administration's health-care rule regarding religiously affiliated employers providing birth control coverage to female employees. Women will still be guaranteed coverage for birth control without any out-of-pocket cost, but will have to seek the coverage directly from their insurance companies if their employers object to birth control on religious grounds. Do you approve or disapprove of President Obama's decision?
Yes: 54
No: 38

You're talking condoms vs. the pill. Condoms are not 100% effective. Neither is the pill, which is why some women use both. I think the issue of church supported schools and hospitals including contraception on their health care plans (not the church itself) is quickly fading because of the bat poop crazy stand far right R's are taking around the country on contraception in general and women's health. I'm a moderate R, and they scare me to death.
