This morning, Democrats tore into House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) for preventing women from testifying before a hearing examining the Obama administration’s new regulation requiring employers and insurers to provide contraception coverage to their employees. Republicans oppose the administration’s rule and have sponsored legislation that would allow employers to limit the availability of birth control to women.
Ranking committee member Elijah Cummings (D-MD) had asked Issa to include a female witness at the hearing, but the Chairman refused, arguing that “As the hearing is not about reproductive rights and contraception but instead about the Administration’s actions as they relate to freedom of religion and conscience, he believes that Ms. Fluke is not an appropriate witness.”

Where are the Republican women on this? Or maybe they don't have sex enough to need birth control?
ReplyDeleteThese liberal prostitutes crashed the meeting to make some headlines by twisting the facts .The hearing was not about reproductive rights and contraception but instead about the Administration’s actions as they relate to freedom of religion and conscience.
ReplyDelete5:54 Republican women have sex they just do it responsibly unlike the liberal women who use abortion as a contraceptive.
ReplyDeleteThat's why republican states are having the highest rates of teen pregnancy. Cause there republican parents teach them how to be responsible huh 3:39. I guess no republican woman has ever had an abortion.
ReplyDeleteThe afternoon panel had two women on it-they were opposed to the legislation and therefore not reported on. Democrats did not submit the name of the witness in the time frame required, that is why the female witness could not appear. Just another attempt to paint Republicans as anti-womens rights. Come on people, get wise to this crap. Republicans have to walk on eggshells every minute, when you hear a story like this do a little digging, it always turns out to be mostly untrue ,slanted spin.
