As conservatives–especially conservative women–we cannot continue to sit on the sidelines and let Obama continue this economic war, even if it is on his main supporters. Birth control aside, we must start economically educating young women if they’re to have a prosperous and financially secure future.

OBAMA’S WAR ON YOUNG WOMEN - Celia Bigelow/The Blaze

Ladies, President Obama may have won the farcical “war” on contraceptives, but he is waging his own war on your pocket books.

During the campaign, President Obama accused Governor Romney and Republicans for wanting to “decide the healthcare choices that women are making” and for “taking away access to birth control,” while conveniently avoiding the real issue: the economy.

But, it worked. He won, and the 66 percent of young women ages 18-29 are feeling the economic consequences of reelecting this President.

President Obama has forced young Americans into what I like to call the “Great Youth Depression.” Only 6 in 10 young Americans are currently employed, half of which are working full-time. Since President Obama took office, average graduating student loan debt is around $28,000, and student loan default rates have reached an all-time high of 13.1 percent.

I guess President Obama’s consolation to unemployment and indebtedness is free birth control. Yippee! You might not have a job, but at least, well you know…
