I would add in this stipulation however. We will pay for your birth control, abortions whatever but you must wear heels, stockings and miniskirts at least 3 times a week.

Amend the Constitution? Don't be silly. It's a "living" document that means whatever "we" want it to mean.

What if I don't want them in my prescription plan?

Your tax dollars, by the way, do not pay for this. Not 1 cent.

Medicaid provides subsidies for birth control, so you're wrong.

Also if we were allowed to itemize where your tax dollars get spent, trust me, the last thing you would care about is birth control pills.

And one last thing, Why do you care if birth controls is on a woman's prescription drug insurance plan? How does it affect your life one way or another? (well if you like sex with women, I guess it would affect your life)

I don't care, unless, of course, the government is mandating that private individuals and institutions subsidize and offer such things.

I got news for you Viagra also is covered by almost all drug plans. I don't see your out cry against that. Maybe because you only date men, I don't know, don't care, and more power to you if you do. But it is the only reason that I can think of for, why you don't want women to have birth control, and don't care if men are allowed to get erectile dysfunction meds.

I can tell you as a straight man, I hope every women has a health plan that includes birth control.

I am crying out against all the arbitrary nonsense that taxpayers are forced to subsidize, and that includes grandpa's boner medicine.

Not at all. We can easily afford more. Just tax the "rich" and we'll be able to subsidize everyone's wants and needs. And if that fails, just inflate the money supply! High taxes, deficits, and inflation are no big deal.

Women, are you taking notes?

I could care less if they buy their own birth control, or if the insurance plan they purchase provides birth control. I'm perfectly fine with that and maybe if you had the reading comprehension of a ten year old, you would realize my problem isn't with contraception, it's with the government forcing private individuals and institutions to subsidize and provide such things.

Cellphones? Gaming consoles? Sex toys? Luxury sedans? Music? Which items are acceptable and which ones aren't? Why?

　
　
Just curious but do you complain when rich mega corporations get tax exemptions for vacations, expense accounts, clothing, cell phones, luxury limousines, yachts, Lear jets, trips to the titty bar, weekdays on the country club golf course, or even hookers/escorts as business expenses??
　
　
Or when corporations like GE profiteer on billions of dollars of annual profits, tax free, while the average wage earner pays at minimum 12-15% of their annual income, that doesn't even come close to 1% of that corporations annual profits?

I would like a new car every 4 years, I would prefer it be every Presidential election year.

I would also like a salad once a day.

Also, a pair of shoes b/c all these folks dying to get the new pair of Jordan's is an injustice, so we should all get at least 1 pair of Nike's a year to lower the violence.

Bars of soap?

Toothpaste? That is healthcare related isn't it? Since dental hygiene is associated with overall health, we should be getting free toothpaste.

Apparently, no one actually expects her to exercise personal responsibility for her lifestyle choices.

Your health insurance company will provide BC coverage to other women who have a policy with the same company as you and your premium money will be distributed to pay for it. These same women will pay to treat your yeast infections, PAP tests, breast exams, flu, cold, bronchitis, high blood pressure, diabetes or anything else you visit your doctor or are admitted to the hospital for with the premium money YOU pay for the policy. Is there some reason I'm not aware of that YOUR illnesses and preventive health care should be paid for with their money but yours can't be used for BC in order to treat medical conditions or prevent pregnancy in women who simply aren't ready for children or those who have other conditions - heart, kidney, diabetes and so on - that would make it dangerous for them to be pregnant?

I am frankly beginning to believe that Conservatives are practicing willful ignorance on this subject simply for the sake of argument. It really is NOT that hard to understand if one makes the SLIGHTEST effort to do so.

I want a pony.

With a new bridle and a saddle. Doesn't do any good without.
