Women Star in the President's Political Theater: Who's Really Getting Played? Comments
With a pen stroke and a press conference, President Obama used women to initiate a war on Religious freedom and with the media lapdogs panting at his heels, he made sure the Republicans, and especially the Catholic Church, were painted as misogynist zealots. Now he's leading this contrived and fraudulent battle over "women's health", and the so-called feminists have pinned women's entire well-being to a package of pills and reduced women ...

Excuse the typo, I meant "walks."
Well done Ms. Jenifer Hartline!
You show that Mr. Obama really became blind by Sandra Flurke lying testimony since he was unable to distinguish what are needs and what are wants, as well as what is the private problem and what is the national and social problem. Let us see how Mr. Obama makes a choice.
Great work again Ms. Hartline! I wish a woman like yourself was on Issa's committee. For what it is worth now, I think women should have been allowed to speak. It was a mistake by the Republicans and it played right into the liberal hand. I firmly believe there are more women like yourself out there and we need more like you to speak up in the public square. This is where women leaders like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann should have spoke up in one loud voice. Conservative women need to organize and represent true feminism!
David and Bulbajer, if it wants like a duck and talks like a duck, it's a duck.
Some of the beliefs being spewed forth, even from those who call themselves Roman Catholics, are utterly preposterous. There is no confusion on this issue. Any opinion held or act committed, if it is contrary to the doctrine of the Holy Church which was developed by the will of God Himself, is a terrible sin. There should be no leniency. There should be nobody calling for birth control to be legal, let alone distributed freely. And to anyone who calls themselves Catholic and disagrees, they are willfully comitting grave sin. Keep it in mind. The Lord's law does not change merely for our convenience or gratification.
Thank you Jennifer for you great article and for putting into words what a lot of women feel. Ms Fluke and her friends do not speak for me and a lot of women I know. You, Jennifer, do speak for us. Please keep it up! YES... Pope Paul VI was a prophet in Humanae Vitae.
Thank you, Jennifer for writing a heartfelt, well informed article. I am a married woman of child-bearing years who embraces the Churches’ teaching on contraception. It is wonderful to read a passionately written article from a fellow woman that speaks to my ideals. Sometimes in reading the comments of others who oppose contraception, I am left to wonder how many of them have actually read the documents of the Catholic Church that deal with contraception (e.g. Humanae Vitae)…. or for that matter read the inserts of birth control or the research of the negative side effects that pertain to them. As a woman, by nature, I have cycles of fertility and infertility. It is an important part of who I am and I have come accept and respect this through the use of Natural Family Planning. Through the use of NFP, my husband has come to accept and respect this part of who I am. I have seen beautiful fruit borne forth from this mutual respect. We, as Catholics, should not be forced to pay for contraception, something we believe to be morally wrong. A line has been drawn in the sand, and we, as the Catholic Church cannot cross that line since our conscience clearly indicates it is wrong. What then will become of our institutions that cannot violate their conscience? Stiff federal penalties will follow…. Are we ready to live in land devoid of Catholic hospitals, Colleges, Charities and so forth?
Jennie Hartline for President!
Read 'Revelation 13'
If the Catholic church wants to harass women concerning contraception they should get out their checkbook and start covering the costs of women who have health issues as a result of not taking birth control. The church should also strongly subsidize Catholic households that feel compelled not to use birth control and have kids that they really can't afford. The church should also pay the medical care associated with kids born with birth defects (no matter the cost). Oh yeah, how about childcare, clothes, food, their education? If they want to hold these people's salvation hostage they should have to pay for what they mandate. It's not fair. It's primitive.
