DEMOCRATS’ #WARONWOMEN: S.E. Cupp has an incisive oped about the Democrats’ objections to a GOP effort to increase over-the-counter (OTC) access to birth control:

If you’re one of the 10 million women in America who uses the pill, the prospect is nothing short of life-changing. Going to the doctor to refill the pill every month or even a couple times a year is annoying and time-consuming. And, according to many doctors, it’s unnecessary. The pill is safe to take without a prescription. . . .

But if Republican Sens. Cory Gardner of Colorado and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, along with four other GOP senators, were expecting flowers from Planned Parenthood and others for their bill, the Allowing Greater Access to Safe and Effective Contraception Act, they should brace for disappointment. Suddenly, the idea doesn’t sound so great, and the former supporters aren’t mincing words.

Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards said the bill is a “sham and an insult to women.”

Karen Middleton of NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado even got personal, saying, “Cory Gardner can’t be trusted when it comes to Colorado women and their health care.”

Beneath the fear-mongering lies the more likely reason for the change of heart on the left. The bill was simply introduced by the wrong party.

If Democrats cede this issue to Republicans, they lose a major chit in their “war on women” narrative. For years, pro-choice groups have been peddling the charge that Republicans are against access to birth control. But it’s utterly (and provably) false.

Indeed. Republican presidential candidates should push this issue hard

Or perhaps because women aren't as stupid as you think they are

it's a clever ruse, moving to make birth control over the counter so that appears accessible to all.... what the GOP somehow "forgets" to mention that in doing so they hope to remove birth control from copays and medical coverage...thus giving the ACA the middle finger

the bill also puts all birth control over the counter, and if the GOP actually knew anything about birth control they would know it's not" one size fits all"..not al women use the pill, the same pill wont work with all women, IUD's need to be inserted by trained medicaql professionals

plus the there's the cost.. according to Gardener' " brilliant " plan... women on average would be paying roughly 600 dollars more a year on birth control


the official stance from people who actually know what they're talking about:

"The Affordable Care Act removed many barriers to preventive care that keeps women healthy.y making contraceptives available to women without a co-pay, it has truly increased access to contraception, thereby decreasing unintended pregnancies, and allowing women to better plan their futures. Unfortunately, instead of improving access, this bill would actually make more women have to pay for their birth control, and for some women, the cost would be prohibitive.

As women’s health care providers, we welcome robust and productive dialogue about the indisputable role that contraceptives play in the health, well-being, and productivity of American women.We would welcome any legislation that would do what this proposal purports to do — help women. As it stands, however, we cannot support a plan that creates one route to access at the expense of another, more helpful route.”

in short, Gardener is trying to promote the new turd sandwich, and wonders why people arent rushing to buy it

Yeah, it should have been introduced by the Nazi party... it would have been more honest that way

No matter how many times you repeat yourself, it wont change that it's a shitty bill that's meant to circumvent the ACA and put a bigger burden on women
