The Patriot Post® · Revealing the True Extremists

Mona Charen: “Democrats actually don’t like to talk about abortion much. They know that voters are not with them, so they disguise what they’re for with euphemisms like ‘choice’ and ‘women’s health.’ Lately, they’ve added contraception to the mix to weave their haunting tale of a Republican ‘war on women.’ … Republican candidates who are accused of being against birth control because they oppose Obamacare should enjoy explaining that declining to subsidize something is not equivalent to opposing it. I decline to subsidize gun purchases by all American males. Does that make me anti-man? Anti-gun? I decline to subsidize gym memberships for all teenagers. Does that make me pro-obesity? I decline to subsidize farmers – oh wait, we already do that, but I wish I could refuse. And the same goes for our subsidies of green energy companies, the NFL, big banks, transportation and thousands of other things. Women voters are not an army of Sandra Flukes, flocking to the polls for their free diaphragms and limitless abortions, but they do flinch from extremists. It’s up to Republican candidates to illustrate who the real extremists are.”
