Lest anyone say otherwise, let me state from the outset that I AM NOT saying that we should outlaw contraception.

That being said, we need to realize that contraception WAS outlawed in America for the better part of two centuries and it is inarguable that the moral AND fiscal states of our Republic were on a far better footing during that time.

We need a president who is not afraid to say that certain things are WRONG even if they happen to be legal. The left has spent over fifty years trying to convince people that legality is synonymous with morality and this notion is simply false.

Conservatism is a three-legged stool of fiscal and social conservatism alongside a strong foreign policy. It is only successful when ALL THREE of these legs are there. The main difference between Goldwater in 1964 and Reagan in 1980 was social conservatism and we need to remember that BOTH ELECTIONS were landslides. America will elect a genuine conservative, they won't elect a non-conservative trying to portray themselves as one.

The point must be made that it is the “GIVING” that is the offensive point. The government that is BIG enough to give you everything, is big enough to take it all away (once there is no one left to give their fair share or has any leverage to object).

Obamacare -— healthcare — has the “power to give you” everything because they have taken away any choice you have. “Healthcare” can dictate the control and availability of anything humans touch (or that effects them), what they eat, what they think (mental health, national security).

THAT loss of CHOICE, is what they better drive home to the voters.

It will give them total say over what people can do or say.

Thank you all so much for sharing your insights!

Precisely so.

Americans are not made with a cookie cutter - some will agree and some won't, but I want a President who lead on his spiritual knees before God.

BTW, Romney is no mere Mormon, he holds a very high position which means he embraces certain beliefs which are apt to be far more troubling to the secularists than a belief that abortion and other contraception are morally wrong.

With the admonition by Obama making all insurance companies pay for all contraception and abortion inducing drugs, we are literally one step away from the government mandating that individuals take and use those drugs.

When the Government controls every aspect of our "health care" they can literally dictate to us what we can or must eat and what drugs we must take.

Obama is evil. There is no other word to describe him and his ilk.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
