The Democrats want women to have access to birth control…
…provided they control that access.
Case-in-point. Colorado Republican Congressman and U.S. Senate Candidate Cory Gardner has suggested birth control pills should be over-the-counter as part of his campaign platform and stance on women’s health. Instead of applauding Gardner’s approach, which would greatly expand women’s access to birth control, Planned Parenthood has come out against him. The justification? Obamacare and government dependence for women is better.
“Progressivism”. It’s not about making anyone’s life “better”. It’s about keeping the goodies flowing to the political class.
Because $9/month for the pill at Wal-Mart or Target is too much, but $150 for a doctor’s appointment to get the prescription is A-OK.
Liberal: person who cannot do math.
