Guy Benson:
An growing roster of Republican candidates across the country are embracing Gov. Bobby Jindal’s proposal to make birth control pills available for adult women over-the-counter, without a prescription. This trend is tossing a wrench into the Left’s paint-by-numbers attack strategy of painting the GOP as obsessed with “restricting access” to birth control — which nobody was advocating anyway.* The idea is to bombard young women with multimillion-dollar ad campaigns in order to scare them with this fiction, thus shoring up Democrats’ wide advantage within the key demographic. But now that Republicans are backing plans that do precisely the opposite of limiting women’s access to contraception, Democrats and their allies are…actively opposing that idea, too. Surreal:

That’s a Planned Parenthood ad currently running in Colorado. The group is furiously denouncing Rep. Cory Gardner’s proposal to expand women’s access to birth control,casting his idea as a blow to women’s pocketbooks, to the tune of “$600 per year.” (Er, generic brand birth control pills are available for $9.00 per month … without insurance, and drugs tend to get cheaper when made available OTC). Here we have the self-professed champions of birth control access working to defeat a plan to extend birth control access. Why? Follow the money. First off, abortion is big business for Planned Parenthood, so they’re willing to do whatever it takes to elect politicians who share their extreme, unlimited abortion-on-demand agenda. And as Ben Domenech notes at The Federalist, the organization’s financial self-interest doesn’t end there:
One day, a few of the liberals that actually BELIEVE that the left wants to help the less fortunate will realize that, in fact, they are aiding and abetting their party maintaining human misery for political gain.
Left wing economic policies assure that those in poverty remain in poverty. Of course, the Democrats are right there on the spot to hand over just enough (of other people’s) money to subsist on and survive until their next opportunity to vote for those who, in essence, come around and feed them.
The left wing’s approach to immigration reform promises all the goodies the illegal immigrant dreams of, yet there is always some mean old Republican blocking all these benefits; at any rate, they never actually come about. Always another election to worry about where taxpayers might resent and react to Democrats handing more hard-earned over to illegal immigrants, paying THEM for their votes and creating more dependents.
Next, apparently, is a left wing campaign to keep inexpensive birth control off the shelves (though it has always been inexpensive) so that THEY, the Democrats (and, of course, their supporters like Planned Parenthood, partners in crime), can continue to be the provider of the goodies and the ones we REALLY want controlling the government so the freebies continue to flow (oh, unless you have the ill-fortune to be one of those who has to make the payments).
The longer you wait, liberal, to come to this realization, the harder you are going to kick yourself in the ass for EVER buying in to such an obvious con game. Liberals, AWAKE!
