Re: Use birth control pills to prevent pregnancy? You're fir
FWIW Ms. Fluke had insurance through her school (a private school that charges $50k a year in tuition and is a source of profit for the parent institution) but my understanding was that she wanted the school to use health insurance that covered her BC, not for the taxpayer to pick up her tab. I don't know how it works at Georgetown, but at my law school I have to pay for my own insurance premiums, so it's not exactly a free ride, although my own school does use insurance that covers birth control.beebrisk|1331922728|3150138 said:kenny|1331919828|3150104 said:One solution never fits all.
Abstinence works for the people it works for.
I encourage encouraging the choice of abstinence AND availability of the choice BC for partakers.
People vary, and so should solutions.
I guess I'm just an old fashioned homo.
Yep. I'm all for "encouraging" abstinence while knowing full well it's not a reality for most. Sadly, it should be more of reality for kids but that's not what's happening.
I am against employers knowing my personal business.
I am against my tax dollars being used to fund birth control for those that CAN afford it (Ms. Fluke, included) and against my tax dollars being used to fund abortion under any circumstances.
I am against insurance companies not being able to compete across state lines for my business, thus having no other option but to offer a product for sale that no one can afford any longer; leaving ONLY government interference as an option.
And, I am against the government knowing my personal business and being involved in my health care, but aside from hoping for a full repeal, I have no control over that.
I guess I'm just an old fashioned hetero
Thank you Kenny for your civility and humor....
