The Text:<\/strong> When I\u2019m at my most cynical, I almost believe that the Republican Party isn\u2019t just a conspiracy to explode the national debt. It\u2019s also a plot to force women into abortions.<\/p>\nIn countries where the GOP dream of making abortion illegal has been realized, abortion rates are higher than countries where access is available.<\/p>\n
In Arizona, where anti-abortion crusaders have passed some of the most restrictive women\u2019s health laws in the country, abortion rates seemed to have increased.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And nothing is more incomprehensible than the GOP\u2019s campaign against what should be seen as the greatest victory for pro-lifers in decades: the contraception mandate.<\/p>\n
In any insurance plan, women will receive contraception with no co-pays. Nothing the government has ever done will prevent more abortions.<\/p>\n
Several states have mandated that insurance include contraception for years. The reasons for this are obvious. Reproductive health care is basic health care for women. Not only does contraception save insurers and the public the costs of unwanted children, it\u2019s necessary for many women to treat common health problems. Arguing against including contraception in insurance because it may violate an employer\u2019s beliefs is like arguing insurance shouldn\u2019t cover kids born out of wedlock.<\/p>\n
In America, you have the freedom of your beliefs. And I have the freedom to not have your beliefs thrust upon me.<\/p>\n
Last weekend, Paul Ryan promised to get rid of the contraception mandate on \u201cday one\u201d of a Romney administration. \u201cIt will be gone. I can guarantee you that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright wondered how any woman except Ann Romney could vote for Mitt \u2013 a man who is literally promising to repeal a law that prevents insurers from charging women more just because they\u2019re women.<\/p>\n
The choice this election could not be starker. A woman\u2019s right to make private, personal choices about her body is on the ballot. So is the right to be treated as an equal human being by insurers. If Mitt Romney wins, that will be taken away, as Paul Ryan says, on \u201cday one.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
