āRep. Cory Gardner (R-CO), the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in
Colorado, released a new ad Tuesday arguing for easy access to birth
control.ā
His fellow repubs will fall over each other to throw him under the nearest bus. There goes his career as a repub.

The āPillā but nothing against planned/unplanned discharge of sacred sperm? Nothing for the Condom?
So he used to be a strict āpersonhood begins at ejaculationā type, and now heās all for making the pill available at retail (which, just btw, would require either a years-long FDA review process or massive change in federal law). Or heās shamelessly putting forward a plan that he knows will never happen to distract people from his record.
Oh, and Udallās people are right: by taking the pill out of prescription status, it stops being covered by insurance, requirements for pharmacies to carry it are reduced, and manufacturers face new liability issues that might cause them to rethink production.

Designating a medication āover the counterā should be a decision made by the FDA, not by elected pols.

The GOPās job is to pluck out the eyes of their flock that have seen clearly the reality on birth control and conception.

No. they wonāt throw him under the busā¦Theyāll give him a quiet pass on the socially divisive issues of the day in order to take control of the Senate, which they desire most. Gardner is a shifty, no spine, who has no core values as a politician, much like Scott Brown. He will say anything and do anything to gain any kind of advantage, even if it means disavowing previous positions or pretending that he never advocated for regressive bullshit, as he has, to lure enough voters that typically donāt know any better. Its that 51% Rovian model.
He needs to convince a small minority of women for whom Republicans do awful in general with, to have them believe heās *on their side.*Thatās the kind of Republican that can easily be convinced to do and say anything that some outside interest like the Koch Bros. and even Karl Rove, love to have in their personal collection of bought-off politicians. Thatās my take on it anyway.

BTW, Udallās comeback about it being free under Obamacare vs. Gardnerās āfree-marketā idea to make āthe little ladiesā pay for it at the pharmacy is a better message, and a way to insure women understand that Gardner is advocating women pay out-of-pocket for something that should be an integral part of womenās health that should be covered for free as standard coverage for the insured. Gardnerās just trying desperately to blur the linesā¦

No, he didnāt figure out that birth control prevents abortions.
He realized that demographic have changed, and that he has to at least lie to non-evangelicals once every 6 years.
Donāt worry, if he ever wins he will āreluctantly, and with a heavy heartā vote to make contraception illegal every change he gets, ā¦, until about 3 months before the 2018 election.

The ad should be called For Me as Gardner has a convenient election year change of heart. Judge him on his record against women issues not his mendacious pandering for the women vote. Funny how his change of heart happened months before the election

Women of Colorado, donāt believe him. Heās a LIAR. Iām not so sure the pill should be over the counter - and Iāll bet doctors donāt think it should be either.
Cheap and readily available? yeah, Iāll agree with that. Iāll bet his base will howl though.

He also realized that the insurers donating to his campaign donāt have to pay for OTC drugs.
