The ad starts with piano music and a mother telling of her two young daughters, 6 and 10 years old who want to be a fighter pilot and a dolphin doctor. Then as the music rises, the mom starts into a rant about...birth control!
"It is upsetting to me that in 2012, the use of birth control has become controversial. Birth control isn’t just for family planning...it’s medication that most women need and use at some point in their lives, and it is as common in a woman’s medicine cabinet as cough medicine … That’s just one reason I’m so passionate about getting you re-elected this year. We need a president who will stand up for women’s health … The dreams of all our daughters are at stake."
"In what world is use of birth control controversial? What does condom mandating by the federal government have to do with whether this woman’s daughters become veterinarians? Nothing. What does the health care mandate have to do with the woman’s daughter entering the Air Force? Nothing. And just because a woman has condoms in her cabinet doesn’t mean the government should provide them – after all, does the government provide that cough medication? Or the Q-Tips next to it? But there’s gushy music, so it must be true."
Unbelievable! I'm surprised they didn't add violin music and a footnote on where children can obtain free, confidential abortions without their parent's consent.

Let's see the ad.
But, then again ... seeing that you've linked a racist supporting website as the source ... don't bother.
I've watched it twice now, yet no condoms mentioned. Perhaps there's some mistake... Oh - Breitbart. Dead Lying Guy's website stays as trustworthy as ever.

Did you hear birth control mentioned? Arent condoms a method of birth control?
Are you telling me you understand the ad to include all birth control with the exception of condoms?
Let me explain. When a headline writer decides to get detailed and specific, I expect the referenced material to be equally specific. It's called integrity in reporting. If a headline screams "Aircraft carriers on the Great Lakes" and the actual material refers to "Navy units on the Great Lakes", nobody would accept an excuse along the lines of "Well, aircraft carriers are navy units". (Well, perhaps Breitbart's readers would, they seem to operate under their own concepts.)
As it happens, the ad was very generic. The specific details regarding condoms popped into the Breitfart writers mind (and apparently yours too) quite on their own. Besides, as I'm sure you know, the recent debate centered on hormonal BC methods for women, due to their beneficial effect beyond contraception.

Let me explain. When they make an ad, saying they need government to mandate birth control, then this includes ALL birth control. Not only is the ad a lie, but the ad is meant to deceive viewers because insurance companies already offered birth control before Obamacare.

That's really weird...
