After the U.S. Senate voted down a bill that would attempt to reverse the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby ruling, Governor Hassan thought she’d add her 2 cents in a ridiculous facebook post:
“Ensuring that women and their families can make their own health care and family planning decisions is critical to their economic well-being and the economy of our entire state and nation. I’m disappointed that the U.S. Senate did not move forward with this important legislation; I will continue to work on state-level solutions in order to ensure that women have comprehensive health insurance coverage, protect women’s access to affordable critical health services and protect their religious freedom.”
Once again it is clear she never bothered to read the Hobby Lobby case or the SCOTUS ruling. Once again she continues to treat women like stupid cows who cannot purchase their own birth control. Birth Control is not a critical health service. Even if a woman needs to use Plan B because she had unprotected sex, she can easily buy it over the counter at most pharmacies across New Hampshire. Remember, having sex and using birth control are both choices, as well as buying Plan B.
To add insult to injury she claims that she wants to protect women’s ‘religious freedom’. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? The entire Hobby Lobby case was about Religious Freedom!!!!! Hassan’s beloved Obama Administration was infringing upon the Religious Freedoms of Hobby Lobby owners who were NOT imposing their religious beliefs on anyone. Clearly she has not bothered to even read the 1st Amendment in the Bill of Rights (pretty obvious at that since she also signed the ‘Buffer Zone bill’ into law which the SCOTUS also shot down in Massachusetts).
It seems Hassan really does want to a Nanny Governor. Obviously she believes women don’t think for ourselves nor can we make contraception decisions on our own without Big Daddy Government interfering.
How any self-respecting woman can support Hassan is beyond me. Are Democrat women really that incredibly mis-informed, ignorant and helpless? Are left wing women really unable to make their own decisions about contraception without the aid of the government? Based on Hassan’s response, it seems this is true. Sad that women who supposedly call themselves feminists have sunk so low in life that they have indeed become quite the opposite. Nothing but little girls in adult bodies who need someone else to take care of them because they are simply stupid cows who can’t take care of themselves.

Citing a recent study on expanding Medicaid enrollment, the NH chapter of conservative Super-PAC Americans For Prosperity took some swings at the ACA: Americans for Prosperity – New Hampshire (AFP-NH) today pointed to a report that New Hampshire’s Medicaid program unexpectedly expanded by 11,000 as a result of the Affordable Care Act, commonly called ObamaCare, as evidence that the law is blowing a hole in the state’s budget. Since the new enrollees are covered under the existing Medicaid rules, they – and all future new enrollees who qualify under the existing eligibility standards – will see the cost of their care paid for by 50% state funds, a large reason for a $37 million shortfall at the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) budget. This growth is frequently called the “woodwork effect.” Top Democrats rallied volunteers and worked the phones Monday in Portsmouth. Their goal was to call attention to the US Supreme Court’s “Hobby Lobby” ruling, which found a closely held company could not be forced to pay for all birth control procedures required by the Affordable Care Act. Skip at Granite Grok contributes a mature, well researched observation to the public debate over gun laws: Data Point – Conceal Carry rates versus Crime / Murders Early in the morning last week, while his wife and children slept, a member of the Coalition for New Hampshire Taxpayers arose and listened to the chorus of birdsong while the sun burned its way up over the emerald forest. then jotted these thoughts: On July 3, with Americans preparing to celebrate freedom, the Obama administration reduced freedom by adding 1,296 pages of new regulations to ObamaCare. It was a classic pre-holiday document dump, publishing the mind-numbing rules in the Federal Register on the eve of Independence Day, when few were likely to be watching. So much for transparency. The conservative group Citizens for a Strong NH dutifully hammered away at Senator Shaheen on the subject of gas taxes last week: In recent days, Senator Jeanne Shaheen has been extremely inconsistent regarding her position on legislation that would cause a hike in the federal Gas Tax. While her spokesman has said she is opposed to an increase, multiple reports, including one in the Portsmouth Herald, have indicated otherwise. On Tuesday night (July 1) Keene police were attempting to arrest Matthew Snow on a bench warrant for violating parole and receiving stolen property. He had a gun. There was a stand-off that lasted for hours. Finally, Snow shot himself in the chest, and later died at the hospital. Former U.S. Sen. Howard Baker Jr., Republican of Tennessee, died June 26 at the age of 88. His connections to New Hampshire were many, but his example for politicians everywhere is what made him stand apart. Mike at Granite Grok almost fell into a communist conspiracy the other day, but was luckily saved by his eagle-like vigilance. Optional musical accompaniment for this post. While repairing Mar-Mar’s computer after a supposedly friendly utility went rogue, I needed to re-install the non-Microsoft browsers. Well.
At least he spelled fascist correctly. As we get closer to the midterm elections, the rhetoric is ratcheting up. Americans for Prosperity (aka the Koch brothers) is continuing to run their ridiculous ads stating that Jeanne Shaheen cast THE DECIDING VOTE for Obamacare. In other states, the name is changed to fit the candidate the Kochs are working against. My question is this: why don’t the Koch brothers want non-wealthy Americans to have health insurance? |
