This is just awful and so full of lies that I’m almost stunned by it.
The gist of this is that little girls dreams will die unless you pay for their birth control.
I always get a chill of revulsion up my spine when I see an ad that touts abortion rights while playing soft music and showing slow motion video of children. Kinda’ freaks me out.
As Katie Pavlich of Townhall writes:
There are many problems with this ad.
The first: The use of contraception is not controversial, forcing others, including religious institutions morally opposed to contraception, to cover and pay for contraception, is.
The second: Contraception is readily available at an inexpensive price pretty much everywhere.
The third: Have we really gotten to the point in America where young girls can only fullfil their dreams if someone else pays for their birth control? No, not even close. In fact, Forbes just named their 100 most powerful celebrities in the world. Four out of the top five celebrities were women and seven out of the top ten were women. Taxpayers weren’t paying for their birth control through a govenment mandate along their way to the top.
The fourth: The woman narrating the ad says, “We need a president who will stand up for women’s health and stay focused on jobs and the economy.” Let me remind readers that it was President Obama who decided to make birth control a “controversial” issue and a distraction from his horrific economic record when his ally Nancy Pelosi tapped 30-year-old reproductive activist Sandra Fluke of Georgetown University to testify/complain before a congressional committee about paying $3000 a year for birth control.

48% of the Catholic faithful in America voted for this miscreant last presidential election…. some of us knew what he was because we looked to uncover and know before we voted- the fact that so many Catholics have lost their way, and have had few bishops to guide them is what is really revolting and causes vomitus in ones buccal cavity- would that we could spit them all out… BTW_ Nancy Pelosi is getting a street named for her in San Fran- perhaps her bishop Nieder. and Cardinal Weurl will turn out for the dedication and invoke the convocation – Maybe??? Huh ????

From my experience, if some guy wants to make sure you are on birth control and wants to pay for birth control, watch out he is getting ready to screw you.

When it comes to abortion, this is the heart of the liberal attitude: It's for those . . . those OTHER people to destroy their children . . . (you know the kind of people I mean, don't you?) It's not really for ME and MY wonderful children". I certainly hope the women of America can see through this slobber.

I'm 28 years old. I have three college degrees. I'm running a political campaign. I have lots of friends. I'm healthy. I'm not on anti-depressants. I don't hurt other people. I am a good citizen. I attend church and contribute to my community. I pay taxes and I do not receive aid from the government. SHOCKER::::::
I AM NOT NOR HAVE I EVER BEEN ON BIRTH CONTROL.

Not sure how involved obama was in this, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt, however he did say something in a debate a few years ago that really told me alot about this man, he said that he would not burden his daughters with a baby…so he would allow his daughters to oommit an horrific sin in killing their babies if the situation presented itself, what kind of father would do such a thing…I hate to say this but theres something about this man that borders on evil, he's pretty much what an anti-christ would be like.

He said "punished" not "burdened"

Romney is taking the Catholic vote for granted by participating in a $50,000 a plate fundraiser at the home of the CEO of the company that makes Plan B. Seriously, we need to hold his feet to the fire!!!

Remember when fornication like an animal is what interfered with your dreams?
May 22, 2012 at 11:27 pm
Sorry, fornicating
May 22, 2012 at 11:26 pm
Straight up propaganda.
You gotta feel sorry for a culture that thinks the most important dimension of a human being is having unfettered sex, and teaches it's women that you can only be important if you suppress the natural female functions of your body.
Did our tax dollars pay for this?
May 22, 2012 at 11:41 pm
Propaganda is paid for by government. This was paid for by Obama's Hollywood powered golden war chest. I would venture what you'll see in the coming months will make this little poem look like the first pebble to cause an avalanche.
May 22, 2012 at 11:47 pm
And this isn't about culture, but a political command to bend your moral understanding to bow at the feet of the state. Don't be fooled by soft music. The message ends with the words "or else." It's a couched threat.
President Obama has crafted an entire career making it difficult or impossible to be born if you are one of the chosen 4,000 per day, whose murders are bought and paid for in utero.

Contraceptives are not medicine. Abortifacients are not medicine. Both are harmful, physically and morally. The Government ought to be warning people against their use, not promoting them and forcing people to provide them to others. It is irrational – evil. This is fomenting societal collapse.

Awful. It doesn't make sense that a woman's fertility should need to be medicated and treated as if it were an illness. The video makes birth control out to be a necessary staple to women's health – which it is not. It can actually be detrimental to their health! It is certainly not so life-on-the-line necessary that other people should be forced to pay for it even when they are morally opposed.
May 23, 2012 at 2:37 am
OMG, If we should pay for birth control and it's as common as cough medicine, why shouldn't my cough medicine be paid for ?? And how about flu shots – isn't flu potentially far more harmful to women's health than pregnancy?
This whole thing is an absurdity. Birth control is not now nor has ever been a women's health issue.

You only need safe sex, in unsafe relationships.
May 23, 2012 at 3:56 am
That's ridiculous!
What about one of my daughters who might want to own a business some day, but would be faced with the ethical dilemma that in order to provide healthcare benefits for her employees she would have to compromise her beliefs? When is our president going to stand up for my daughter and her rights?! That's what I'd like to know.

Horrendous. I want my baby girl to dream big. And, I'm pretty sure we can do that without the use of b.c. I know, because it was good enough for her mother.
May 23, 2012 at 4:30 am
What if, a girl's dream really is to be a mother? It shouldn't be an inferior or inadequate dream to want to raise children in addition to whatever directions a woman travels in life. Even if faith isn't part of a person's world view, Biology still pushes toward parenthood being a wonderful and good dream. Our future is pretty bleak when raising children who will be our future is only for those who were too stupid, poor, or uneducated to have prevented it.

Notice there is no father in this scenario? They are no longer necessary. Notice this in news stories, ads, sitcoms, commercials. It's very common now. The "Julia" campaign cartoon for Obama tracks a woman from 3 yrs old through adulthood without mentioning a husband or father.

It is sickening – and very sad. Clearly, she is depedent on pharmaceuticals. She is either ignorant of the harm done by these chemicals to people and the environment or deliberately ignoring it. Sadly, she is not celebrating each girl's personhood and the beauty of the human soul which is much more that just sex.

Since we're supposed to subsidize these girls' dreams of (presumably) unhindered promiscuity, can they subsidize my dream of owning enough guns and ammo to invade the upper peninsula of Michigan during hunting season?
I mean, at least the right to bear arms actually exists in the Constitution.
