On Sunday's show host Bonnie Erbe takes the Obama-care mandate on contraceptives, which is not even in effect yet, and characterizes ANY opposition to it as ‘ debating issues that were decided decades ago.‘ These NEW mandates don’t even go into effect until January 2013 and these libs claim it’s settled decades ago. She also claims that all of the Republican candidates want to overturn the 1965 SCOTUS birth control decision (Griswold v. Connecticut,) and are coming for ‘your’ birth control. While making this new mandate their primary issue of concern they hand wring and complain about how Republicans are not talking about ‘real issues’.
Bonnie has the most evil looking expression as she lies on TV. Watch her look away from the camera knowing she is making stuff up.
Some highlights for what PBS considers informed debate :
Host Bonnie Erbe: “ So with this new political focus on birth control (BC) not abortion? Are Americans in danger of losing access to birth control? ”
Host Bonnie Erbe: “ Is this a reflection that there are a whole lotta people out there that oppose access to BC, which of course progressives been saying all the time as soon as conservatives ban abortion they will go after birth control, and now we are kind of seeing that coming true but secondly are we entering an era where a lot of people are looking at this and saying :’What is happening? This was decided decades if no eons ago ” ”
(Obama -care was decided decades ago??)
Linda Chavis: “ We are not talking about access to contraception. There is absolute access. We had a SCOTUS decision that stopped the states from banning access to contraception called the Griswold decision decided by the SCOTUS in the 1960s ”
Erbe :” Which all the Republican candidates for president want to see overturned ”
(Really ???)
Erin Matson VP of NOW :“ We are not talking about religious freedom in this country. Religious freedom includes freedom to choose one’s own conscience and act accordingly not to have institutions decide for everyone what private health insurance plans might offer ”
(How about our freedom to not pay for things that you may want for yourself, that we disagree with, or that we can't use ourselves?)
Nicole Kurokawa Neily of the Independent Women’s Forum :” I want this election to be a referendum on social conservative values. I want this to be a referendum on gay marriage, on birth control, on abortion. And I want them to be repudiated in 50 states and then we can move on because there really are serious issues facing this country. We have an unemployment issue, a deficit issue, we have a debt issue and why is no one talking about that? I mean my mind is boggled ”
(Then why did you libs make this issue the headline debate of this show and the last show? You control this show. Your mind is boggled because you are stupid)

And We the People get to pay for this crap. Defund PBS Now!!
Ping!
And I pay for this dribble. Unreal.
as of the GOP needed any MORE reasons to pull the plug on their funding
Why bother? Liberal “men” are all neutered anyway.
All our side needs to say is there is no reason churches or insurance companies need pay for contraception when it is free at taxpayer funded Planned Parenhood.
Well the damn democrats took our lightbulbs. I think fair is fair, right? lol.
Why are all Americans forced to support PBS when PBS only supports liberals?
Are you really sure about that? Because I can tell you right now if the 2012 election is on Gay Marriage you will lose and lose big time. Gay Marriage has never been approved by voters anywhere in the nation.
Perfect example of the “straw man” logical fallacy.
Not only that, it's a perfect example of how the leftist media, "public" or otherwise, execute a WH/DNC agitprop campaign. No one was talking about curtailing BC (or are now for that matter) until George Snufalupogous, a reliable agent of the left, forced it into the Republican candidate debate to the bewilderment of all concerned. There's not a chance he thought of doing so all on his own.
Now all of the leftist outlets are trumpeting it as though it's a legitimate issue.
I agree. No one wants to take away birth control. Ain’t gonna happen.
The candidate who says that, and clearly explains WHY, has thrown down the gauntlet and has earned my vote. Although a miniscule portion of the Federal budget, it's appalling that we are forced to support this liberal propaganda.
Let them learn to support themselves.
I think I remember Bonnie Erb, hasbeen liberal pundit, from some show in the past. I’d much rather pay her foodstamps than pay PBS to give her a forum to lie.
Where it not for PBS, she’d have no podium to prevaricate.
We don’t even have a nominee yet and the attacks and distortions by the media and the administration are already starting. It is going to be an uphill battle. If that POS gets re-elected I don’t even want to live in this country any longer. I will take my assets, take an early retirement and leave. I refuse to continue to support unions, deadbeats and congress any longer.
More evidence of collusion between the sycophant media and the Obama regime. This was a set-up from the get-go.
The idea of taking birth control away from the public is a distraction from what the Democrats are actively taking from the public by the truck load..
