yes, I think insurance should have to cover long term illness, viruses and disease, medical emergencies, anything child related, and preventive maintenance for 'at risk' patients, but other procedures/drugs should be optional

IMHO birth control should be handled just like every other medication.
No special exceptions just because its a contraceptive.





I'm fine with that. I don't see why it should be handled differently.


medication is to treat illness or prevent illness

birth control is to back up those who wish to have sex but not get pregnant

few people have as much control over 'illnesses' as they do over whether they get pregnant

so, its a BIT different


There are several things that birth control helps with other than preventing pregnancy. I'm surprised even women aren't aware of that.

Kinda like calling people that disagree with oblahmas policies bigots and racists..

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


If they just disagree, no they're not racist. If they're saying racist things, they're racist. Not quite the same.


Its exactly the same.


No it isn't.


you are exactly who I had in mind when I typed that..

no one throws around more generalized unsubstantiated slurs than you.




Batting zero here huh?

Cause that definitely ain't true either.

Liberal Columnist says "Double Standard" on Rush

Rush Limbaugh Isn’t the Only Media Misogynist


Did you know there is a war on women?

Yes, it’s true. Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, Matt Taibbi, and Ed Schultz have been waging it for years with their misogynist outbursts. There have been boycotts by people on the left who are outraged that these guys still have jobs. Oh, wait. Sorry, that never happened.


I agree that what Rush Limbaugh said was over the line, but why is there so much outrage about Rush while the liberal misogynists get a pass?

Their brain is too busy judging other people's sex lives to glean the knowledge

Didn't Ed Schultz have his show removed for what he said? I'd say there was outrage there.

I could ask the same of the conservatives, though. Why aren't there more conservatives speaking out against Rush when they spoke out against those you listed above?

On that note, I don't condone anyone saying things such as what Rush said about women, no matter who they are or what side they're on.

Why does everone keep pointing out everone elses splinter?

Fact.

We saw the panderings of a known female activitist presented to a special session headed by a know female and left wing activitist.

this was then added to by a known male chauvinist with right activitist tendencies.

none of which is important to the central truth.

The Health Care law as it is is flawed beyond compromise.

Time to go back to work and make a worthy law.

So the poor can reap its benifits and the rest of us can live life as we want.

Equal in our rights.

Equal in our responsibilities.

I don't know why more conservatives don't stand up, but what is happening to Rush is far worse than Ed Shultz being kicked off the air for a couple days.

There came a time back in the dark ages in Europe when “THE CHURCH” controlee every aspect of the human life except one, the six habits and the Inquisitions was an effort to do that. You’re talking about the beginning of the Demo’s attempt.

Rush brought it on himself. If he wants to be able to say whatever he wants on the air, he has to accept responsibility for it. Instead, what he did was apologize when he started losing support and blamed it on liberals.

Actually it looks to be worse than that.

It begins to look as if both parties have a few 'wanna be' kings and they are working together.

The parties are but pawns.

or so they think.

I think Americans are smarter than this.

Once we quit poking each others splinters and pull the log out of our own eyes.

I agree. I am speaking in the context of the drug used as 'birth control' ,,as the name indicates

the drugs progesterone,,and several others, which work as birth controls have other uses as well which I think should be covered if they are found to exist

I had a medically necessary hysterectomy required because of a physical condition and it was covered, had I wanted it just to prevent pregnancy it would not have been covered,,,

I think there were several overlapping issues

the issue of whether we should make others pay for our reproductive choices (be it an insurance company or their policy holders)

crossed over the idea of whether such open and free availability promotes the behavior of those who are merely trying to have 'sex' (promiscuity)


and whether anyone should refer to a promiscuous woman as a 'slut'


basically Rush was personally insulting to a young woman (and by extension any women who felt she represented them) and I think that was the major part of the uproar, the conflict over who should have to pay for us to be able to have sex without 'fear of pregnancy' was pretty much overshadowed by Rushs usual asinine conduct

So you think that if someone is having sex and wanting birth control available, they're automatically promiscuous? What is your definition of promiscuous?
