(31,011 posts)Women will tell you this is their life...not an issue.
Governments have seen fit to provide women with contraception WITHOUT the need to insert itself in a medical exam room. You are advocating the government to do just that.
The RW in this country have protected the wealthy from paying their fair share that it has cost this country dearly. They have protected Wallstreet, the banks, and the wealthy. The poor and the middle class can only hold this burden for so long.
Rather than make the wealthy pay their fair share (just like everyone else) they go after the poor and the women of this country. They want to regulate their private lives and insert themselves in the medical decisions women make by determining if they should or should not have access to contraception.
Raising taxes for the wealthy is an option. The top 10% wealthiest in this country have 80% of the wealth. They pay the least taxes. This is what the repubs have been doing all this time. Where have you been?

There is a very long list to choose from. You may not like what you see and may have to evaluate your opinions. I blame a lot of the RW for our current state, but the Dems have got some blame as well. Corporations have inserted themselves in the process and have damaged this country. Go watch some of these pertaining to our government, the wealthy, and Wall Street. You'll find that reality is far more jarring than your perception.
