    its not about the girl

    for me, it is about the hypocrisy that is the conservative platform-

    the republican golden boy rush limbaugh became the darling for railing against "welfare mothers" while the white house creates policy to allow doctors, hospitals, and pharmacists the option NOT to provide contraceptives to women-

    obama did the right thing in stating that family is off-limits- but jeeeze!, when will the left find their cajones and go after the ultra-right for the hypocrisy of the conservative agenda
