Would a woman really make their voting decision based on what an insurance company is forced to provide?
Of course they are. Simple minded = single issue. I'll get a lot of crap for that comment, but if people open their minds they'll realize it's true.

Oh I'll wager there are a few female sheeple out there that WILL vote on a single issue.
These are probably the people that can't name the VP of the US and don't know who Nancy Pelosi is.

Let me try to put this in a male's perspective.

Would men vote for a political party that they thought had the best economic/foreign policy solutions......IF...... that party was also hell bent on banning guns and football?

There is no reason women should have to give up their personal freedoms to improve the economy or anything else.....so yes.....I am going to vote for the party that is going to protect my rights as an individual, as a woman, first and foremost. If the other party really cares about this country and wants my vote.....quit trying to take away my personal freedoms. Quit your bible-thumping, quit sticking your noses into womens and homosexuals personal lives and concentrate on the REAL problems at hand.....then....and only then....will I ever consider giving you my vote.

Just so happens, the Democratic Party and Obama have the best solutions to this country's problems.......and they also respect women and defend our personal freedoms. Win/Win.
Who is advocating "taking away rights" of a woman to buy BC ?

Why do you think all women think exactly alike???? That's just weird!

Oh, that's right, Republicans think all women are mindless cattle.

They are trying to take away a woman's right to choose.

The BC issue just further highlights their attitude towards women....that our medical issues don't deserve the same respect as men's. There was not so much as a blip on the radar screen when Viagra first came out and was automatically included in almost all prescription plans. Why is that?

And of course you can provide proof for that ridiculous , sexist statement.


You can also provide proof that no men are one-issue voters.

The only groups I see as single-issue voters are fundamentalist Christians and Catholics who still believe that the Pope is infallible. They'll vote for anyone who'll make their religious beliefs a national policy.

You won't get crap from me. There are plenty of demographics that vote single issue. One that comes to mind is the evangelical vote that strictly votes lockstep on one issue: abortion.

So you are saying women aren't mostly emotional voters? Not saying all but most. Men are all over the place when it comes to voting and sure there are single issue voters among men, but it's not as prevalent.

Can you provide details ?
Who is trying to take away what right ?
Right to choose what ?



Paying for BC yourself is not taking away any rights. You had to pay for it before Obamacare kicked in.
It's taking away subsidies, but not any RIGHTS.
