Yes, I can if my insurance decides not to. What's the big deal? What's that coverage prevents again?

[new-wave-witch.livejournal.com]

Are you not aware of what prescriptions cost out of pocket? I really don't know what to say to you if someone having access to affordable healthcare obstructed for ignorant reasons is not a big deal in your eyes.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

We are talking about contraceptives. What you are talking about?

[new-wave-witch.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm talking about. What are you missing?

EDIT: Oh... are you pretending prescription birth control are not legitimately inclusive in women's general health care? Is that the issue?

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

I am not pretending anything. I am saying you want to have fun - pay for it, or even better, make him (the partner, after all you can't get pregnant on your own) to pay for it.

[new-wave-witch.livejournal.com]

You're pretty ignorant as far as this topic is concerned if the full breadth of your knowledge on why women need birth control is so they can "have fun."

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, you are so educated. You know that birth control isn't for birth control.

[new-wave-witch.livejournal.com]

For a lot of people, it isn't. Are you really unaware of this?

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

Only you are aware of everything. The condition you are talking about is pretty rare and most of insurances cover it.

[new-wave-witch.livejournal.com]

pretty rare

No it isn't.

most insurances cover it

Then you agree that they should.

Most people who are interested in this issue have done more than listen to Rush spew his drug-addled nonsense.

Ovarian cysts are not rare. Endometriosis is not rare. I know exactly how not rare they are because I can actually read and comprehend something as sophisticated as, well, Wikipedia, or even WebMD. You, on the other hand, apparently think that if you say something with force that will make it true. Sorry, facts don't work that way. You can't just pull bullshit out of your ass and not think it won't smell. And the smell factor is off the charts tonight in your posts.

I am saying you want to have fun...

Hey, you got a broken leg. You broke your leg, you're responsible for it. If you want to have fun with an unbroken leg, you pay for it.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

What a stretch! Not even close.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Why?

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

One - nobody goes and breaks the leg on purpose. I am watching Bill Ayers interview right now. Care to join?

[new-wave-witch.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure this guy does:

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Not everyone goes and gets pregnant on purpose. People who don't go and get pregnant on purpose take birth control.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

So you're saying that if you can't afford BC on your own, you should just have lots of babies that you really can't afford or not have sex. Well that will certainly cut down on unplanned pregnancies and therefore abortions...not.

You do realize that most married women use contraceptives, don't you? You do realize that more than 95% of women in the US will use contraceptives during their lifetime. (Yes, that's an actual fact, not an 'I think its so, therefore it is so' statement that you are so fond of making).

Once again you've bought into the Rush Dumbo idea that good girls don't use/need birth control.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

What part of do whatever you want, but don't ask me to pay for it you don't understand?

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

We're talking about hormone therapy medication, some uses of which is medication.

[new-wave-witch.livejournal.com]

She may have a point. I forgot how fun ovarian cysts are.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

People go out and get ovarian cysts.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Real people, you know, like men and corporations don't. Fake people, like women (aka wombs with legs) do. Don't you see the difference?

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can if my insurance decides not to.

No, it's against the law now.
