Loading

For over two months the Left and their media minions have been making a big stink about the mandatory coverage of contraceptives.

In all this fuss and distraction from all the problems this nation is facing, nobody noticed that since 2007 Walmart has been offering a month’s worth of birth control pills for only $9 (emphasis added):

BENTONVILLE, Ark. – Sept. 27, 2007 – Walmart Stores, Inc.

If America is stupid enough to fall for this phony left wing manufactured “reproductive rights” BS, then we deserve another 4 years of Obama.

Why didn’t a commitee member bring this up at last weeks hearing.

Ms. Sandra Fluke = Useful Idiot.
