A few words from Charles.

Are we really arguing over whether the State should pay for contraceptives?
Are we really arguing over whether the State should pay for a pill that allows people to have a voluntary pleasurable activity with 96% less risk of having a child?
Again a VOLUNTARY activity and a non-necessary drug.

This should be a non-issue really. The fact that mainstream Republicans are even addressing this issue with anything but incredulity is telling of the state of "conservatism".

 

[MLRyan]

I don't think tax dollars should pay for birth control, but I would rather pay for birth control than welfare...

 

[Mos Eisley]

Consider the possibility that this is the most ridiculous campaign platform of the election. Where does it stop? It never does.

Exactly! The Dems have figured out that the female vote is not a sure thing and figured a way to pick a "war on women". Ridiculous.

You do know that lots of plans pay for Viagra, right?

What's the diff?

not that i agree with this but according to insurance companies not being able to *cough* stand at attention *cough* is a medical condition. Being a naturally fertile woman is not.

Viagra is proof that God wants impotent men to have erections.

My tax dollars don't pay for your plan that covers Viagra. Yet...

It's not only BCPs. The dims seem to think that the morning after pill is required also. You know, very early term abortion is a health issue.

 

[Old Fart]

It appears that maybe I should invest in birth control options...

 

[Vamoose]

The only way I voluntarily pay for contraceptives is if I get to participate in using them.
