One Born Every Minute?

When George Stephanopolous asked a question regarding banning birth control during one of the Republican Primary debates, the candidates fumbled the question.  Why?  Because the question was so far out of left field that they were just, well, dumbfounded at it.

Nobody was talking about birth control.  Nobody was talking about banning it.  It was a complete red herring.

But now, jump a few months forward.

George, former (and likely current) Democratic operative, has completely fabricated out of thin air a non existent issue that Obama is more than willing to capitalize on.

Obama decreed (unconstitutionally) that ALL insurance must pay for birth control and abortion pills.  Even insurance provided by Catholic institutions, which oppose birth control and abortion, MUST provide it to their employees.  At the time, one was left with complete befuddlement as to why he would attack the Catholic Church in this manner.

This is being framed as "why are you against birth control" type questions now to all the candidates.  Nobody is against birth control, except maybe Santorum, but even that is his personal view for his personal family.  The question should be "who does the President think he is thinking he can issue a mandate this way"...

Jump forward to this weeks testimony in congress regarding law students having to pay for their own contraception.  Imagine.  College students having to buy their own birth control pills and condoms to hook up.    The numbers quoted were $1000 per year for birth control.  That's 5 condoms per day, per student, every day of the year.  And wanting someone else to pay for it.  Basically, having someone else pay for them to have unimaginable amounts of sex.  It is that analysis that led Rush Limbaugh to point out that people who are paid to have large amounts of sex are "sluts", a tongue-in-cheek conclusion meant to flamboyantly point out the fallacy in the policy.

Now, for the first time I can remember, even Rush has been forced to retreat and offer an apology.

All of this furor stemming from George's off-the-wall question.

Now, Obama has invited himself to a women's college to give their commencement (see below).  Gee, wonder what he's gonna talk about?  Am I the only one that sees this as a contrived, invented cause?

P.T. Barnum said there is a sucker born every minute.  I hope women in general don't fall for this.  If they do, well, P.T. nailed 'em.
