Women will not elect someone who thinks this way to the highest office in the land, no matter how much you want to dismiss their concerns or claim that the president doesn't have the power to ban birth control and that he wouldn't even if he could, although he thinks it is "not okay".
Women also will not support a party in which this fool is one of the two front runners, and the other one is being forced into a "more-morally-upstanding-slash-patriarchal-and-oppressive-than-thou" competition with him.

Rick Santorum is not going to be the candidate. Romney is. Santorum is expressing his personal belief, which he is entitled to. That is not the Republican platform and is not even close to it.

Listen to some of Romney's press conferences. He feels the same exact way I do and expressed in my last post to you. Romney is a moderate and that will become very apparent when he and Obama get into the debates scheduled for this summer. Rather than take freedoms away from women, we want to increase them by eliminating government control of our personal lives.

Democrats have a tendency to forget that most Republicans have been married for a long period of time. Their wives have spent many years training them and would never allow them to pick on other women.

As a man, you really have no idea how important access to it is to women- married women even more so than single women.
Women care more about being able to have sex without getting pregnant than they do about having more money. Just trust me on this.
A good economy won't help them take care of their families if they're forced to have a dozen children (or else abstain from sex, lose their husband, and take care of their kids on their own). Reproductive freedom- access to contraception- is more important than the economy to most women..
Your statement sums up exactly why the republicans will lose in 2012, and keep on losing: cluelessness and misjudgement.

If the Rep. mahcine does a good job of exposing these kind of lies, they won't be an issue. But if they allow this kind of BS to go unanswered and the people who spread them to cotninue witjhout response and being exposed for the liars they are, it may have the desired effect. Most women are smart enough to know that this stuff is complete crap and will base thier decisions on things that are actaully happening, instead of those that are only happening in the minds of hyper-paranoid uber-feminists. The intelligent women know that this stuff is crap and will base their votes on reasoned consideration of the issues as they see them. The ignorant ones will grab onto to this propoganda and run with it.

No one has banned contraceptives, they have attempted to clarify the responsibility of the payer.

Those who have an established moral or religious objection, should not be forced to pay for it.

It is up to the employee/persective employee to find out what is covered in the health plan being offered in their interviews. Then it is their CHOICE if the health insurance meets their needs.

One woman's vote who will not be bought based on an attempt to scream 'the sky is falling'.
