THEY JUST CAN'T LET WOMEN'S BODIES ALONE

I'm late to the party on this, but Mike Huckabee really said the following on January 23, 2013:

I think it’s time for Republicans to no longer accept listening to Democrats talk about a war on women. Because the fact is, the Republicans don’t have a war on women. They have a war for women. For them to be empowered; to be something other than victims of their gender. Women I know are outraged that Democrats think that women are nothing more than helpless and hopeless creatures whose only goal in life is to have a government provide for them birth control medication. Women I know are smart, educated, intelligent, capable of doing anything anyone else can do. Our party stands for the recognition of the equality of women and the capacity of women. That’s not a war onthem, it’s a war for them. And if the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it, let’s take that discussion all across America because women are far more than Democrats have made them to be. And women across America have to stand up and say, Enough of that nonsense.*

No one says that women HAVE to use contraceptives.  Perhaps the Religious Right can generate a 
sympathetic attitude on abortion, especially last trimester abortion, but contraceptives?  But the goal actually is to get rid of contraceptives.  This is why they have pushed for life to begin at conception when there are a few cells involved.  One morning after pill (ella) is said to be a very effective contraceptive with Plan B being less so.**  As for me, life begins when the baby is out of the womb and has taken a breath.  This is the conventional definition of birth.  When in doubt, I favor the born over the unborn.

But it will also lead you to a video clip with Huckabee saying it.
