How about we cut off all the guys dicks so women don't have to worry about being strong pressured or forced into sex?

See my post above. I suspect women are more concerned with old conservative white men like you deciding if they can get contraceptives on their insurance plan, and worse, if old conservative white men like you have all the control over their bodies if the contraceptives happen to fail.

Then again...maybe if they're forced by you guys to have a vaginal ultrasound before they can get their abortion, you're hoping they'll let you perform all of them in your precinct, eh?

I am still not quite sure what all the fuss is about over contraceptives being available on an insurance plan. Let me see here, the right doesn't want abortions, doesn't want to spend money on social services, yet they are OK with bringing a bunch of unwanted children into the world because they don't want to cover contraception on insurance? That sounds retarded. What is the cost of "the pill"? 10 bucks/mo or something like that? The Meloxicam I take for my tendonitis is more than that.

This whole thing about having to pay for contraception with the ACA is BS.

For years, with employee based insurance, I have been paying for coverage for vasectomies for myself and my husband is covered for breast exams and birth control pills. I'm guessing most anyone with any kind of ins has been doing the same.

But now that the ACA is out there..... All of a sudden it's a big issue.

Go figure.

It's seen as private run vs government mandated rightly or wrongly.

Yet another example of the Dems abysmal communications and the GOP's willingness to lie about and conflate anything. The CBO is the latest example, along with Boehner not wanting to pursue immigration because he doesn't trust Obama. Yeh, right.

What is the difference? It is still just about paying for a prescription or a medical device or procedure. Does that mean that since contraception isn't "medically necessary" it shouldn't be paid for? Maybe we need a new medical term..."socially necessary". I don't see anybody griping about insurance companies covering a flu shot.

They cover those little blue penis starch pills, don't they? Mebbe a 'pubbie can answer that one...

I see...they're OK with covering the cause, just not the result.

Besides, there are at least five other ailments (besides unwanted pregancy ) for which birth control pills are used.

Meh.

Democrats aren't losing the Senate, anyway.
