OBAMA: Contraception - and misdirection

OBAMA HAS DONE IT AGAIN! He has taken attention away from the important issues — our economy, jobs and foreign affairs — and re-directed it to “social issues” that weren’t issues until he made them so.

Contraception is an issue that should be between a woman, her doctor, her pharmacist and her insurance company! Until Obama made it an issue, I would imagine most insurance companies covered birth control in some way or other, as they probably have for decades. I would also imagine that women of most faiths, economic status and political party are or have been on some type of birth control since it was made available decades ago. Whether by necessity or by personal decision, the choice of birth control is a private matter between a woman and her doctor!  

I won’t even get into the religious aspect — sex only for procreation? That ridiculous idea returns women to the Dark Ages.  

We need to show the current resident of the White House we aren’t sheep. Let’s focus on what is important to America — getting rid of socialist and progressive policies and returning our country to Capitalism and the opportunity for all to succeed. 

Just for information, I am not from California and I have been a registered Republican for more decades than I care to admit.
