She didn't want gov't to pay for her birth control, she wanted gov't to force her school to pay for her birth control. That is getting close to a distinction without a difference. If you want your birth control, either pay for it yourself or don't go to a school or job that is under the auspices of the Catholic church. What's wrong with that solution?
Then why aren't the conservative talking heads talking about that?
I haven't heard one single spokesperson for the right bring it up. I doubt "Mr. Viagra" himself - Rush - would ever mention it, but why is Huckabee only referring to women's "libido" - and not men's? Why is it all about controlling women?

Libertarian conservatives are.
As to Rush et al, I wouldn't know if they were because I don't listen to those talk shows.
why cant republicans just stay on the economy and jobs instead of always acting like idiots with these dumb comments.
its a mental block
How would the leadership of the RNC/GOP counter claims that they are conducting a "War on Woman" than to try to convince women they are actually the party for women...They just fail to put together actual examples of how they are and they just end up insulting women's intelligence instead.
Rev. Huckabee prime example.

Reason: edited quoted post
In 2005, Huckabee signed into law a bill titled "An Act to Create the Equity in Prescription Insurance and Contraceptive Coverage Act".
It includes this requirement:
Every health benefit policy that is delivered, issued, executed, or renewed in this state or approved for issuance or renewal in this state by the Insurance Commissioner on or after the effective date of this subchapter that provides coverage for prescription drugs on an outpatient basis shall provide coverage for prescribed drugs or devices approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for use as a contraceptive.

Back then, Huckabee must have thought he needed to help those women who couldn't control their libido!
Then apparently he's pandering to the far right fanatics that have the GOP by the short hairs. I wonder if any of these people ever considered actually sitting down with women and finding out just how important access to birth control is, and how it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the government telling them they can't control their libidos.
