Guess what,the women she was talking about gets contraception BECAUSE its life threatening. Abstinence saves millions..........for taxpayers.
In sixty-five percent of cases, our female students were interrogated by insurance
representatives and university medical staff about why they needed these
prescriptions and whether they were lying about their symptoms. For my friend,
and 20% of women in her situation, she never got the insurance company to cover
her prescription, despite verification of her illness from her doctor. Her claim was
denied repeatedly on the assumption that she really wanted the birth control to
prevent pregnancy. She’s gay, so clearly polycystic ovarian syndrome was a much
more urgent concern than accidental pregnancy.

Having a constant feeling of nausea Morning sickness Irregular menstrual cycles Loose bowel and bloating Mood swings Palpitation Depression (in rare cases) Irregular vaginal discharges and increased susceptibility to infections as the changes in hormonal levels affect the endometrial tissue in a deleterious manner. Tenderness of breasts Loss of libido Hypertension and changes in the lipid profiles Increased fluid retention attributing on some level towards weight gain Decreased calcium retention in kidneys leading to bone loss and osteoporosis Hair and follicular changes are also seen.
Depression Optical problems like increased susceptibility for cataract Increased number of gallstones Cardiac failure and transient ischemic attacks in very rare cases. Decreased resistance towards seasonal infections. In females the risk of ectopic pregnancies is exponentially related to the period of usage of hormonal contraceptives. Increased susceptibility towards endometrial and cervical cancers because of poor nutrition and lack of hormonal balance in endometrial tissues. Jaundice, clotting and thrombosis on rare circumstances.

Sure she did. Doesnt change the fact that DEM AGENDA has all the upside.......
BTW,What does GAY have to do with it? Gay women don't have kids? Come on.........Really....Why did she bring it up?
Unless she shows the case by case studies of the sixty-five percent of those women and their insurance company's,and why they are REALLY denying certain women,its ALL hearsay.
Again........
Abstinence saves millions of taxpayers dollars.
When it comes to medical conditions,I am all for contraceptives being used.
I have a job. I pay for my children and me to have insurance. Im not complaining,Nor am I asking for contraceptives......

Care to elaborate which of her points that would be?
The hearing has gotten a lot of attention not necessarily for what happened there, but what didn’t. Namely, no one testified in favor of the contraceptives mandate. Moreover, no women participated in the first, three-hour panel (two women did testify against the provision in the second panel.)
The Democrats did, however, invite one woman to speak: Sandra Fluke, a third-year student at Georgetown Law and past president of the school’s Students for Reproductive Justice group. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who chaired the hearing, said the minority party had submitted her name too late to be considered (Democrats contest this). I caught her outside the hearing room, and we spoke about what she would have told the committee.
Fluke came to Georgetown University interested in contraceptive coverage: She researched the Jesuit college’s health plans for students before enrolling, and found that birth control was not included.www.washingtonpost.com... gIQAJh57HR_blog.html
