Am I to understand that women care more about getting free birth control than the a stable economy?

That is what I keep hearing being said today. It has also been brought to my attention that women want to be guaranteed the same wage as a man but be able to take off to pick kids up from school, take six weeks maternity leave, have breaks at work to pump breast milk, not have to work late in the evening and weekends. Or should I just turn Ebbie Wassernan Schultz off

    People forget that having children is a lifestyle choice. Not an obligation for the employer. Employers are not expected to foot medical bills for health problems. Why should they pay for lifestyle choices?

    In any case I don't think all the adjustments for parenthood should be restricted to the mother. Picking up kids from school etc is just as much the job of the father.

    The simple answer to your original question is 'yes'. Women tend to vote emotionally rather than intelligently. The economy is in the tank, worse than 2008, record people on food stamps, national debt at $16T, Obama admin hasn't passed a budget since taking office which is contrary to the Constitution, has given millions to the Muslim Brotherhood, is involved in more wars than GWB, yet none of this matters to most women. The same in 2008. Obama has no experience, no background, nothing but Hope and Change, yet Oprah tells women to vote for Obama, besides he has charisma (which is always important in running a country well) so most women vote for Obama. Meanwhile those who did their homework knew that Obama was a screw-up and would do exactly what he has done - made things worse.

    I can't see how ANYONE, woman or man, could vote for this disaster again. He needs to be in jail for treason, not in the white house.

    Sigh.

    It's about health insurance, which the women PAY FOR THEMSELVES, providing contraceptive coverage without copay.

    Which the women PAY FOR THEMSELVES.

    Men are entitled to the same unpaid parental leave that women are under the FMLA.

    In those few cases for breast milk (what an odd thing to single out), it's done during their regular break times.

    And in what world do women automatically get exempted from working late or on weekends?

    No, those were Candy Crowley's hand picked question. My wife and I laughed when Crowley picked a question about Bush. Is she too fat to understand that Romney's running against four years of failed economy Obama, not George Bush?

    I don't care more about free birth control! I care more about a stable economy! They need to get real.
