You're not thick as a plank!
For years the Democrats have used the abortion issue in an effort to divide the republican party and send the pro-choicers to the left. That tactic has gotten old and is not working any more.
So now, they are bringing up the contraception issue, which the Catholic church is against, in an effort to once again divide the Republican party by scaring the uninformed moderates to the left once again with the threat that republicans are going to ban contraception.......
It's the age old tactic of the MSM and the democrap party to throw the crap against the wall and let the rest of us fight over what sticks.......
You are right. The media is having a field day with the contraception subject as though Republicans are against it. This is a no win situation for us. I wish the candidates, esp Santorum, would simply not reply to it. Make it a non subject. Thank you for helping me understand. Point taken. And an excellent point I might add.
