Hello.

I'm not stating an opinion, just posting this for you to use as a point of reference to see how the UK deals with the same subject. Not saying it's better or worse just factual.

Contraception - Information on the 15 methods of contraception - FPA

About halfway down it states what is free and it's availability.

And without a government welfare program, AMAZING!
No one is asking for the government to pay for contraception. You understand that, right?

I still am confused as to why contraceptives are an issue as of late, other than certain posters bringing it up. What's the big deal? Lots of irresponsible people have sex, just that thankfully most of those people are at least intelligent to use condoms or the pill...

...otherwise, we'd have a bunch of pretty dumb people running around.

Look, we all know that Floozy Fluke is a plant. She is and always has been an activist. This whole thing has been a set-up. And for what? Why are we as a nation having this stupid discussion obout birth control?

What do you mean by "plant" or "set-up"? She is exactly who she claimed to be, a student with an interest in health care and contraceptions role. Being an "activist" is something we all are when we care about an issue. The discussion about contraceptives was already taking place...who exactly WOULD you have speak? Someone who knows nothing on the subject or doesn't care?

Floozy? So is every woman you know then. Perhaps you'd like to call her an "operative"...that word seems to rile up the ignorant

This is a strategy that the Democrats adopted. Not the Republicans. Or haven't you followed this? I guess not.

Look, here is the way it is: Barack Obama is afraid he has been losing the women of the country (and he has). This "strategy" was created to strike fear in the minds of women that Republicans were going to try to restrict (or even more ridiculous, ban) birth control. This is where it all started. It is so preposterous that no one believes it (except for perhaps a few dolts).

Most understand what it's all about. People are way to well informed now because of the "alternative" media, and they are not fooled.

And the GOP isn't allienating anyone (oh there may be a few uninformed that don't know what this is about).

Women are for the most part behind the GOP on this, because they understand what this is about. You haven't been listening to Rush, and I know you don't see my Face Book page. I don't know as single woman that thinks the GOP has started this, but all blame the Democrats.

Sorry. You lose on this one. But go ahead ... make a fool of yourself.

Do you mind providing some quotes? I am not sure what parts of her testimony you are referring to. Quoted transcript would be great, thanks.
