War on Women

The American economic picture seems to be brightening up a little and maybe the European woes are settling down a little.  So without that issue to complain about so much, the current crop of Republican candidates is having to switch to social issues.  It presents a sad spectacle of men, some of whom probably don't believe what they are saying, falling in line with the pre-Enlightenment pronouncements of Rick Santorum. 
The particular focus of these mis-informed men is the same battles against contraception that were fought in the early 1900s by Margaret Sanger and others.  Why do they feel the need to re-fight those battles against women?  It's a settled question isn't it?  The great majority of women practice birth control - including Catholic women.  It's only a reasonable thing to do.  Let's get the focus of the embarrassing televised monologues back on things that really matter - such as the economy & war policy.
