Something else comes to mind here.

Why do Democrats take such a sexist stance that birth control is the sole responsibility of a woman in the first place? 

There's no war on wo.men from the right, the Democrats are simply pimping them out for votes.

The dims do not take that sole position you dreamt up. Or is it just another republijerk false equivalency. You need to quit with the abortion issue. There are far more important priorities that need attention.

Much more important priorities that those who write these memes should be holding Obama accountable for instead of abetting the reelection of an abject failure at the issues which really do matter: economy, energy, debt, deficit, etc.

And FYI, I didn't say a thing about abortion.  I was commenting on this stupid meme the DNC put out about a girl asking her mother for $18,000 for birth control and commenting that it's a sexist position that women are soley responsible for birth control.

BS...this falls under the social issue on religious ideology.

Get over it.

We've been over this before. ;)

They buy votes by making people into victims.

If you are strong or independent, you are of little value to them.


When attacked by a mob of clowns, always go for the juggler.

Yes we have. But is it a victim or the crime to help the less fortunate, those that need help.

Sand kicker.

I found this pretty telling too...although most of you crazy righties don't consider Scarbs a 'real' Conservative.



Good grief...

I heard about this today. Seriously, there is plenty of material without them completely making stuff up. And they accuse Fox of being out there.

Seriously, I try (and fail sometimes) to make sure what I post is accurate and not doctored or poorly edited precisely because of this sort of thing.

Nobody said it was; that's just something you invented yourself. The point is to make sure that women of any means are empowered to take control of their own reproductive health, rather than limiting that option to people who don't have to make the choice between birth control and the light bill. Not to mention that hormonal contraceptives are often prescribed for reasons other than birth control.

If those are your priorities, why would you support a couple of people whose stated plan is to do the exact opposite of that which would help conditions in those areas?

Where does it end? I understand that contraceptives are sometimes prescribed for reasons other than to stop contraception. But where do you stop. I'm certain there are millions that need all kinds of things that can't afford them. When I was between jobs, I needed some dental work done, BAD, but you know what, I toughed it out until I could afford it. That's life.

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that you have a monopoly on reason,

As do you.
