go away
I wish these ultra pro-lifers would just go away. Unfortunately they will never die out since they don't "believe" in birth control. They probably reproduce like rabbits or a virus and will continue to harass and intimidate sensible, logical people minding their own business. Get lost!! Shoo, crazies!
Hello!!!
Are the percentages of teenage and umplanned pregnancies not high enough for you? It's a womans right to choose. There was a seperation of church and state for this very reason, no matter how they spin it. Not to mention rape victims. Choosing not to give the morning after pill to a woman that has been violated is ridiculous. And, this won't prohibit these facilites from not hiring or firing people. They will find alternate reasons to do it. I hope they have thought of the snow ball effect this will have on a lot of things.
I am on birth control to control a disease. without it I would be more likely to become a diabetic, have high blood pressure, heart disease, and a million other things that would make my health fail. what do you think would be more expensive, birth control or all the other meds and surgeries I would end up having? for that matter, its more expensive to have a baby than to take a pill to prevent it everyday. the percents of children given up for adoption would soar if this law is passed.
I can't believe its 2008 and we're still debating this issue. All these obnoxious pro lifers are running around preaching how bad abortion is when no one wants to provide preventative measures. Oh, wait they still have the idea that abstinence is going to save us all. I guess they're still waiting for that to start working since the dark ages. Id love to see how many strong pro lifers have adopted a child-see how much they care about a child after its out of the womb.
Lets look at the statistics, without health insurance:
Anual (required) pap and prescription visit:$150
+
Generic pack of pills:$80
=$1110/year??? (for the most basic, cheapest contraceptive)
Excuse me!?
Wonder what those numbers would look like if men could get pregnant, wild guess but im sure they'd be a lot lower.
Bottom line-Don't believe in birth control? Don't get it, be at risk. Thats your problem, don't make it ours.
I choose to be responsible.
Congress is not my Church!
it is not the responsibility of our government to do God's job! and it is time that women stand up for themselves and stop letting men try and control us. Health Insurance pays for Viagra and not birth control! how is viagra a true medical need?? do 55 yr old men need to be making babies? and i'm with katie, it doesn't make sense that poeple who are against abortion also want to cut back on welfare? you want poor people to not have the choice of controling how many babies they have and then sneer and judge them because they cannot afford to better themselves? birth control costs $50 a month... try and tell a 16 yr old that that is good investment. and while there used to be widespread availability of low income birth control congress has ended its outsourcing of cheap birth control.
In response...
It would be clear that your definitions of "Witch" and "Murderer" are severely skewed. A Witch is a type of Pagan. Hillary Clinton is not a Witch nor pagan.
You also called her a murderer. To my knowledge she has not killed anyone. Would she not be in jail if she supposedly killed someone's unborn child?
I find your reasoning akin to the thoughts of 17th century English priests. Would you like to burn us too?
