You had George Stephonolopis ask about banning it in a GOP debate. You have Obama trying to force the Catholic Church to offer contraceptives as part of their health plan when they find it morally objectionable. The media keeps asking Santorum about banning it. I've never heard any GOP candidate bring it up. Its a non-issue. Why are the Democrats making it an issue?

If you think it's a non-issue, you either haven't been paying attention or you don't care about the constitutional right to liberty. There's a Republican effort to authorize ANY employers to deny coverage for contraception through their health insurance plans. It's a big issue for those of us who take our fundamental rights seriously.

Democrats have been fooled into believing that "free contraception" is somehow associated to womens rights.
If they can somehow claim that republicans are against comtraception then they can begin to associate that republicans therefore must be against womens rights.
The mind of a democrat voter is very simple and easy to fool. The leaders like obama continue to build strawmen and boogymen to divide their voters from reality. Soon obama will have them believing that everyone has a right to own a house (possibly your house) whether they work for it or not

properly, right here is my take, all this financial disaster is relatively a huge assault by the recent international order to polish a spotlight on Obama's credibility and potential to steer this united states so it relatively is starkly revealed he's no longer worth to be president.. The republicans do no longer like it that the bypass of kool-help is out of control, even the dems are siding with Bush to ascertain the rustic gets the splendid guy for the interest.

The liberal agenda is to enable themselves to have as much sex outside of marriage as possible and encourage everyone else to follow thier immoral behavior.
Health care is the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease, illness, injury, and other physical and mental impairments in humans.
Pregnancy is not a disease, illness, injury, or a physical or mental impairment. Abortion and contraception should not be classified as health care.
But the problem here is not to tell people that they cannot have an abortion or contraception (that is another conversation) but religious liberty and forcing people who believe these things to be immoral to provide them and pay for them. This clearly goes against both our Freedoms of Conscience and Religion.
If the Government is allowed to infringe on people's basic human rights in this instance then what basic human right will be next?
"The conscientious scruples of all men should be treated with great delicacy and tenderness; and it is my wish and desire, that the laws may always be extensively accommodated to them."

In July 2009, President Obama met with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican. Afterward, Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough said Obama was "very touched by the visit" and wants to find "common ground." The President's "common ground" seems to trash the basic human right of Freedom of Religion and the U.S. Constitution's 1st Amendment. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/International/story?id=8049308&page=1#.TzH77sgqiq0

The Republicans are making it an issue. The Democrats just want to make sure that women have access to contraception.President Obama was trying to implement a compromise that would protect this without infringing on religious liberty. Personally, I'm against it, because no one gets anything for free. The Catholic Church will get lower insurance rates since their plans won't include birth control, and everyone else will have to subsidize them, which I think in itself is unconstitutional.
Talking about a sicko like Rick "Man on Dog" Santorum, this is a guy that wants the police to be allowed to break into people's homes to stop them from having gay sex.
