Rush: Birth control plot against Rick (Politico)

Rush Limbaugh charged Wednesday that Democrats are using the Obama administration?s controversial mandate on contraception coverage to plot against one presidential candidate: Rick Santorum.

?The whole point of this contraception stuff [that] started last week is to make sure that if Santorum get this Republican nomination, that?s what he?s going to be known for, and of course the theme of that is: Santorum hates women, Republicans hate women, Republicans have no respect for women,? the conservative radio host said on his show. ?Republicans want women in the kitchen constantly pregnant, blah, blah, whatever it is.?

After receiving fierce criticism from the Catholic church, President Barack Obama announced last week a change to the requirement that certain faith-based employers provide free contraception coverage to their employees. Under the new plan, religiously affiliated organizations like charities and hospitals won?t have to provide free contraception but their insurers will.

With the help of ?willing accomplices in the media,? Limbaugh argued on his show that Democrats are using the issue to their advantage to establish the notion that Santorum, along with the rest of the GOP, is fixated on denying women birth control pills.

?Now, they happen to have an interview that Santorum gave years ago in which he talked about this within the context of states? rights. He said if the state wants to ban contraception, they should have the right to do that,? he said, according to a transcript of the show. ?Well, that becomes: Santorum supports banning contraception. ?

The radio host went on to blast Americans ?who do nothing but have sex mindlessly day in and day out? for whom contraception is simply a means of avoiding serious consequences.

?You tell that bunch of mindless, brain-dead twerps ? that they?re not going to get their birth control pills ? and that?s all that will matter,? he said. ?They?re going to vote for Obama on that alone, and that?s what they?re counting on.?
