Arizona Audience Boos Birth Control During GOP Debate

http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2012/02/22/430909/arizona-audience-boos-birth-control-during-gop-debate/

Republicans in Arizona booed CNN moderator John King for asking a birth control question during Wednesday’s GOP presidential debate, adding another item to the long list of jeers and cheers in the 2012 campaign primary. Past Republican audiences booed a gay soldier, applauded the death penalty, and cheered the death of an uninsured individual.

except Isalm, they are all for oppression of Islam.

Why did'nt King ask them how they felt about banning the Ten Commandments, and then point out the hypocrisy regarding Sharia Law?

Abortion was just the tip of the iceberg. They are now all in against contraception. And that is just part of it, what they really want is to completely undo the social advances women have made since the 60s. It is a war on women. And that is a war on all of us.

they're on the winning side of this issue and guaranteed to win by keeping birth control off the shelves.
