For Those Who Mistakenly Believe Republicans Are Against Birth Control

Moderate Right said:
Some will start to realize that the left has been purposely mislabeling all Republicans as a whole for political purposes based on a few vocal far right extremists. Not only does this show that most Republican lawmakers favor birth control (except abortions) but many seeking the truth may realize that the majority of the Republican electorate are also in favor of birth control, not against it. That has always been false left wing propaganda that those in charge knowingly misled people with for their own political agenda. How many will start to realize the truth, I don't know but it made it all the way into an unbiased media article so the seed has been planted. Of course the already biased and brainwashed don't care about the truth and will refuse to accept it.

The left has been able to do such because republicans have run from this issue and the only ones doing the talking are the radical liberal right in the party.

I'll take that as an admission that I was right.

IMO it's a pretty bogus 'philosophy' to begin with. As I wrote....it starts with preconceived ideas and then works backwards to justify what they want and what they dont want. I posted 2 examples of such...which he didnt attempt to justify.

natural / unnatural is a red herring. It's not relevant to contraceptives being used or not.

And there's nothing in our legal system that addresses things based on not accepting something or protecting people from or denying or prohibiting things based on 'being unnatural.' (There used to be, and I guess some silly laws may still be on the books, like sodomy laws. They used some types of that thinking when crafting thoe laws and even about interracial marraige....but never the higher courts as I've seen.)

In general, that comparison is not basis for law in the US.

The argument is a huge circle jerk. Paleocon demanding that his "logic" regarding this topic be refuted is a common MO across so many topics and subforums. In this thread, it's a joke and total waste of time. As you've pointed out there is no "related jurisprudence". There's nothing that I can find that is related to the use of contraceptives being declared (and lord only knows by whom) as a "moral damnation of humanity", which requires legal intervention.

And from personal experience I have seen that people on the left do NOT believe that MOST Republicans are against birth control.

We realize that being totally against all birth control is a radical view not held by most Republicans. But.....we also realize that the Republicans frequently pander to those radicals for the sake of votes.

Does that equate to most on the left believing that most on the right are against all birth control? Hell no.

Both sides pander....although the right seems to pander to a distinctly fringier group.:lamo
 
And to further expand on my above comments...

I think most Dems believe that most Republicans are ok with birth control.

Now, do most Dems believe that Republicans do not want public funding of any sort for birth control? That is demonstrably a different question.

The premise is a total pantload...a double pantload, actually. A waste of finger energy.
 
To accuse the GOP is against Birth control is too general a question to be answered in a meaningful way……….

But to rephrase the question…………. Are there factions within the Republican Party who advocate making birth control illegal…………?
The answer is a resounding YES……….

Birth control has been an issue hotly debated in the Republican Party for the past several years about how to limit access to “birth control” allowable by ACA.

One GOP group seeking a solution to the problem advocate making “birth control illegal. Rick Santorum was the most vocal advocate in making birth control unlawful.

Below are links to reports which in part describes the debate in the GOP on birth control
