I even saw many women's posts about this on Yahoo, and they were all supporting Rush's side of the argument because they thought it was ludicrous for everyone else to pay for this woman's BC products just because she doesn't want to pay, or can't afford it..
...
I have spoken to 7 women this evening about this and shown them the article, and they all laughed and thought this woman was a joke, and they also don't like Rush too much, but they were siding with him on this...
Ok...I guess it's time to bring some reality into this thread.
www.kaiserhealthnews.org...
The other person claiming the "majority of women" don't suppor this...this is for you also.
Enjoy

Shhhhhhhhhh..............don't tell.
The whole idea is to make everyone see how important it is that these struggling students have the Catholic institutions they attend foot the bill for their birth control.

While I don't agree with the manner in which he said it, I don't think contraception should be something thrown on the taxpayers. Why should I have to pay for it. I have been married for 10 yrs and we didn't have a kids until we were 5 yrs into it. We used condoms. We never used birth control, but even if we did, why the hell should I expect someone else to pay for it. I don't see birth control as health care. I see it as pregnancy prevention, not health care.

In other words, a lot of people hate people who are on food stamps claiming they are ruining the economy,
Every dollar of SNAP benefits generates $1.84 in the economy in terms of economic activity. If people are able to buy a little more in the grocery store, someone has to stock it, package it, shelve it, process it, ship it. All of those are jobs. It’s the most direct stimulus you can get in the economy during these tough times.
I see a dangerous shift to what we'll see as "contraceptive rights".
Where someone will interpret the Constitution to include the Pill, rubbers, spermacides, and IUD's as inaliable rights.
What's next? I mean, if contraceptives bcome "rights" then having a sex partner must also be included in that as well, right?
This is just plain silly.

Dull indeed, taxing small businesses that are barely surviving causes them to fire their employees and get by with the minimum. Jobs are destroyed by taxes and fines. Raises don't happen either.

When has anything taken over by the government ever reduced costs or improved efficiency, lol?

Sorry I don't buy your logic. It is giving the federal government charge of 1/6 of the economy, plain and simple. There are much better ways to reform healthcare. When has anything taken over by the government ever reduced costs or improved efficiency, lol? This bill is a spending nightmare.
BTW, Obamacare is already destroying R&D in the pharmacy industry.
