It's not about that, it's about the fact that birth control can also be for health issues, often more-so than medications such as Viagra. It's not being recognized as such in the government. Supporting birth control and a woman's health is now considered either early abortion or just a means of letting a woman being a slut.

Do people think about the other reasons people might have to take it?
A less severe example is that is can help acne and clearing up the face.
But I personally know someone who has ovarian cysts and has to take birth control. It's not for sex, it's not for abortion, it's because if those burst, she might be unable to have kids in the future or worse, she might have to lose an ovary. This is a horrible thing for someone to have to experience, the fear of possibly not being able to have children in the future or having to have some sort of surgery. And for conservatives or ANYONE to decide all of a sudden that they want her not to take birth control because she SHOULDN'T be able to have sex without the possibility of children and then for her to not be able to have children because she's not on birth control is just backwards.
I know many other people on birth control for other reasons.
And this should be covered by insurance.
The fact that someone has to pay so much monthly for something that could possibly be saving their life or their health is disgusting. Monthly. This doesn't just go away. She has to take it every month. That gets expensive.

Have you thought about that?

Well, there is a bit of a logical inconsistency in your argument; primarily the issue that allowing people to choose amongst various insurance policies which offer varying degrees of coverage for birth control is somehow inherently less moral than forcing them all to offer the same amount of coverage of birth control....

You're right, small costs have a way of adding up. Hence why I don't want to pay for it.

If this bugs her, she could opt to get a policy which covers birth control. Or you could just send her some cash once in a while, or donate money to the appropriate charity. She's your friend, after all.

You actually hate women don't you? So being poor is suddenly because they are stupid?

That's what bothers me about the comment too.
Just because some people may have the money doesn't mean they should have to spend it. It's not about HOW expensive it is, it's the fact that it can cost between 40-200 dollars a months depending on the dosage and type of BC you are taking.
It has nothing to do with stupidity. And it's ignorant to say it does.

Exactly, and to be honest, I don't feel like men are really able to understand what it's like to be a woman and have gynalogical problems, or just periods full stop. I've heard of an older man (business leaders) over in New Zealand who said that ALL women take off days from work during their periods and that it costs the tax payer bla bla bla. He called it a 'sickness'. Boy did he get crucified by the media. He lost his job as the top insurance dog for it.

That's why I'm thinking, if there are guys like hip hop that are speaking negatively about womens 'problems' then they truely are ignorant and delusional. How about catching up with the 21st century, modern medicine and gynalogical management techniques. Which are, surprise, surprise, contraception.

Seriously, please do NOT think hhbh is in any way representative of the male attitude here. We feel your pain. Well, not literally of course, but we understand we'd all be screwed without you, and thank you for your forbearance. You should be entitled to insurance. Yeah, I know I'm Irish so my opinion means eff-all, hhbh, but as a human being I think it has to carry some weight.

Hang in there, ladies.

Romney has recently promised to take a "more active role" in foreign affairs if elected president. Fuck me. If Romney gets it, we're going to have 4 years of Bush Lite.

No, I don't hate women, &, yes, intelligence is correlated with income. Shocking news, I know.

Someone must pay for it; why not those who derive the benefit?

According to who? So you're saying because I'm incredibly poor right now I must be just plain stupid? Even though I have a degree in science, a post graduate degree and have plenty of work experience? I must be really stupid. It's got nothing to do with the economic climate, the diminishing job industry and poor decisions made by the government. I might as well jump off a cliff then if I'm that stupid, because I'll never get any money ever because of that.
