I think you mean WITH birth control that causes their periods to start going away or happening every 3 months messing up the schedule, how the hell not being on birth control make you not have a period?

I'll have to agree with Rush Limbaugh on this one. I am not Republican OR Democrat, I couldn't care less, because anyone who can't see that BOTH parties are out to destroy us and the last remaining vestiges of the Constitution deserves everything they get for voting for either party. But back on point, I think Sandra Fluke and Nancy Pelosi both are what Limbaugh said. They are nothing but women who are championing rights for women and there's nothing wrong with that (in and of itself) but women have all the good jobs today and are managers of virtually every institution, they get jobs simply on the premise of quota (something a man never gets), they get everything handed to them in court at the man's expense even if the man is more responsible, money, children, property...and they still claim to be victims. So the way I see it these two women are everything that Limbaugh says and many more like them in Washington......because they don't want equal rights for women....they want equal rights and then more and more rights at the expense of men. Way to go RUSH!

Guess what, just for you I called Planned Parenthood to ask about how much getting birth control from them would cost. Wanna know what they said?
"With insurance, depending on the type, it should be between $5 and $10. Without insurance, it could cost you anywhere between $30 and $150 out of pocket"

No I don't. WITHOUT my birth control my hormones get out of whack and I will go months without a period.
Do you know anything about birth control? What about how a human woman's body works?
Birth control is a HORMONE REGULATOR.
Do some research, it'll help you.

I'm a male why would I care how a womans body works? I know when my girlfriend was on that stuff she stopped having periods. Maybe you shouldn't take the pills in the first place and everything would be alright.
If you don't care how a woman's body works, why are you on this thread talking about a hormone regulator for women?

Condoms are free, so I don't see why she is complaining about birth control. Go get your damn condoms and have free safe sex. But then there is the big case she prolly doesn't want to make her men use condoms to get the REAL feeling. Pathetic.

Condoms aren't hormone regulators. They are free.

Well, I guess the government should start paying for the healthy food that the obese need to eat to be healthy. They should begin providing coverage for gym memberships as well. Isn't it our right to be healthy? Oh, and the government should begin paying for my vitamins and mild pain relievers like aspirin as well. Why not athletes foot cream and my icy hot as well? All of these things could have a huge impact on my overall health and are necessary for me to live a long and healthy life without risk or suffering.
Oh, and government should begin to cover cosmetic surgeries and liposuction because my depression is a serious issue and makes me unable to work so I need to be able to feel better about myself. If I don't receive this care I don't know if I can be a productive member of society.
Now, I'm allergic to gluten and so I can't eat anything but gluten free foods. Have you seen the price of gluten free bread or gluten free pasta? It is absurd and therefore, I think the government should help me out here and pass the price onto the other consumers that are just buying cheap ol' regular pasta and bread.
I hear that a glass of wine a day is very good for my heart. Heart disease runs in my family and so in order to be preventative I think I should drink wine. However, wine can be rather expensive ($10+ a bottle) and I will need a couple bottles a week to do that glass of wine a day thing. That's like $80 a month in wine (about the cost of birth control) so I think that I should be able to get a wine prescription and have it covered on my insurance or at least have a government mandate of some kind.
This is about the same level of absurdity that a forced mandate on contraception is.

I'm saying she enrolled with a purpose to fight. She chose to attend a Conservative Jesuit University... She chose to pay $47,000 a year for law school. She chooses to take birth control. Plenty of other top notch law schools and universities that I'm sure would fit her needs for free pills. She made the choice to attend and to fight a PRIVATE JESUIT university.
And?
If you see the wall crumbling, and your motivated to fix it, you don't go to the strong points of the wall, you go to the place where there is a problem. She may be an activist, in which case, it would be in her interest to go where the infection/broken part is at and shine a light on it.
This story isn't about one single girl and her pills, its about a much greater issue that effects plenty of people. So, it doesn't matter if she personally is reporting from some hyper liberal area or neocon...the issue is health care coverage for women within a certain income bracket getting help for the pill. You can say knowing this specific girl is important, and you will no doubt lose the entire argument focusing in on a irrelevant battle.
Yes, people tend to send well spoken and educated activists to congress that have a strong allegory backdrop to further demonstrate the point. Instead of her saying "I heard that a different plan/college/institution did this.." she is saying she is there where it happens.
So again...your complaining that someone testifying to congress is educated on the issue she is presenting...that somehow its unfair she got educated (purposefully) on the subject.
I laugh at that mindset

haha

Hint: best to keep to the discussion of the idea verses try to single this specific person out...Rush is learning this the hard way...seems many conservatives are.
People aren't into witch hunting anymore and those whom try are only showing themselves as the 17th century nutjobs they are.
Adolescent girls and young women are frequently prescribed birth control pills for irregular or absent menstrual periods, menstrual cramps, acne, PMS, endometriosis, and for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Girls who are diagnosed with PCOS are often prescribed oral contraceptives to lower their hormone levels and regulate their menstrual periods.
