Mike Huckabee’s comments at the RNC’s luncheon Thursday, calling
women who want their health insurance to cover prescription birth control
“sluts, hos and skanks” has resonated with women across the country causing a
huge surge in their support for the Republican Party, according to recent
polls.
Mary Beth Reynolds, a married mother of three and lifelong
Democrat changed her party registration as soon as she heard Huckabee’s
comments. “I am ashamed to admit that at first I didn’t think there was
anything wrong with Obama requiring my health insurance to cover prescription
birth control, but now I realize that it makes me an oversexed whore to even
consider having sex now that I have all the children I want. My message to the
Dems is: I am not a slut! I don’t need your birth control because I know how to
keep my legs crossed!”
More and more women are deciding that the GOP is the party
that best understands the appropriate role for government in women’s
reproductive health. “The government
should limit itself to commandeering my body to act as an incubator for my
rapist’s baby,” said Leslie Brown, an Atlanta schoolteacher. “ I mean when I
need a government mandated trans-vaginal ultrasound, the Obama administration
is nowhere to be found, but let me and my doctor decide I need birth control
and suddenly there’s Obama, all up in my business, forcing my insurance company
to pay for it like any other prescription medication. Talk about government
overreach!”
With Huckabee’s success in reaching out to women with his,
“You wouldn’t need birth control if you weren’t such a slut” campaign, the RNC
is launching a new initiative to point out to women how the Democrats are
condescending to them with anti-discrimination laws. They are calling it “He
wouldn’t have fired you if you weren’t such a bitch.”
