IF they disagreed with a Presidential candidate on every issue under the sun but agreed with that candidate's stance on women's health issues - they would vote for that person.

In other words, these women are not complete because they only have the ability to be heard on one issue through their vote.

Their opinions on the economy and so forth no longer matter. Women who think like they do are now slaves to that issue and are not free.

Not free to effect Presidential election outcomes and the direction of the country the way that women who consider ALL the issues do.

Are Conservative women the only women who help shape America from an intellectual stand point? Because they weigh ALL issues when choosing a President?

Instead of being so hell bent on birth control that they HAVE to vote for Democrats no matter what?

Why aren't Conservative women worried about losing their freedom like their exaggerated Progressive sisters?

Could I see the proof that you now can read minds?

If you don't have that proof then you don't have a leg to stand on...

Your very sexist, demeaning attitude that YOU know what every woman in America is thinking is the reason I find Republicans very distasteful....repugnant...

Any intelligent woman knows that they have full access to birth control. Only those that want more government freebies would be upset with paying for them. The others will be voting for the food stamp president anyway.

Oh is the government now going to give them away for free? I thought this was all about having them covered under private health insurance?

Phony as a three dollar bill and millions of women (men, too) have fallen into the trap.

Obama has given countless healthcare waivers to businesses that say they cannot comply with all the impending regulations staring them in the face. Why won't he give waivers to the churches whose consciences are violated by the requirement they pay for free BC and abortifacients??? The answer is as obvious as that fly that just landed on the tip of your nose. He wants to stir the pot to get liberals up in arms, fearful that women will lose their right to BC and abortion if a Republican wins the election, thus translating same into additional votes for him this November.

I will make the prediction right here and now that if Obama wins a second term, he will grant those waivers to the churches after the election.

It's all politics and it's all about votes.
Obama did exempt churches from having to provide insurance that offers contraception. He even made 8 states that have never had this exemption for churches comply with this. He also made sure that religious charities and hospitals wouldn't have to compromise their supposed morals by making the insurance companies responsible for footing the bill for contraception. So Obama actually bent over backward to satisfy church leaders, namely the Roman Catholic Church (which, by the way, he used to work for).

If you were really a conservative, and pro-life, as you say, you wouldn't take such a stupid and irresponsible position.

How does it make sense?
Why would a 'real conservative' vote for someone they don't believe in? Ya know, this is not a team sport like football, you are NOT supposed to just rally behind a team and cheer RA RA.

It is about insurance. This latest flap.

But, you can get free contraceptives from your county clinic and Planned Parenthood. This already exists.

I think they are running high on emotions and reading the opinion columns.
No one is trying to reverse the abortion decision.
No one trying to take away their access to BC in any form.

I've decided to just stay away from those threads because when asked for specifics all you get is "The GOP will take it all away if they are elected". They have no specifics to tell you.
