and by you for charging VTG with being a “troll” (which I thought was a bit over-the-top)

Well, perhaps so, but after a series of such remarks from Vera with nothing to add but a personal attack on me for a reply it kinda seemed that way. If I get an apology from Vera, I'll withdraw the troll remark. I think thats fair.

Just a quick correction, this wasn't a pure Obama Administration report. I make the distinction since it's very easy to attribute this to President Obama or the HHS director.

Fair enough. Thanks for the correction.

Vera, good to see you laugh off the reactions of the first two commenters, since that is exactly the sort response they deserve.

I would have expected better from you. I might not agree with your politics and opinions, but I would have defended you if someone had made a similar remark towards you, and I would call out any on the Conservative side as well for personal attacks, ask Kathy. Sorry you can't bring yourself to do the same, but would rather applaud them.

But it's a disservice to all of us to play politics with this issue. Doctors and insurance DO NOT have to follow these guidelines. My wife (and ardent Obama supporter) pretty much summed it up:

“I'm going to keep doing breast self-exams regardless of guidelines. They are only guidelines.”

'Nuff said…

Vera's all-but-predictable pathetic lies and slander on this thread.

I'd go with nothing but pathetic.

How fascinating that the first two TMV regulars to jump onto this topic are the ones who have demonstrated again and again their disdain for women through their very words here on this forum.

Apology demanded for your false remarks.

The findings are anti-feminist and anti-entitlement-mentality! Note the BS we're hearing from them (which resembles Vera's all-but-predictable pathetic lies and slander on this thread — awww [sniffle]).

“this report almost strikes me as a distraction on the part of the Obama administration”

I'm more struck by the sense of irony (see above, which also involves denial of care and rationing) as well as the once-likely-again clumsiness or ineptitude. Look at the out-of-touch elitists try to recover!

If in fact, that's what they're doing, I'd say it's a brilliant strategy. Have a group that isn't exactly making policy come out with the looniest statement they possibly can that is just close enough to being believable, and then let the opposition latch onto that.

We've seen their true feelings on the subject–and they certainly don't demonstrate any sympathy toward the concerns or problems women face in our society.

As usual, you missed the point, though Blackburn didn't. I'm not surprised to see this fact exploited by the critics, and wondered days ago how long it would be until Blackburn (who moved to do this days earlier) was joined by, say, Bachmann and Palin.

(“Proceeding” backward to rely on the likes of parrot-placeholder-bureaucrat Sebelius hardly helps.)
