Be realistic about contraceptives

The liberal left has effectuated a fabricated lie called a War on Women. In this fairy tale, the conservative right has declared war on women by attempting to deny them their God-given right to birth control pills. And as proof of this they trotted out a college lady who testified to the need for contraceptives.

Rush Limbaugh made a horrible mistake calling her unmentionable names, but in all reality are we, as Americans, now responsible for the provision of contraceptives free of charge to all women? Abortion was first, and even though the "moral majority" disapproved the measure, today all women have the right to end a life. Now we are being told if we fail to provide contraceptives free of charge to women, we have declared womanhood our enemy.

Look, ladies, no one wants to wage war on you, but be realistic. Just how far do we have to go to prove it: breast implants, face lifts and tummy-tucks? Contraceptives are relatively inexpensive, so just go buy them. Oh, and if I offended any of you left-leaning liberals by stating you had a God-given right, I do apologize.
