Are you seriously comparing the American culture to those in Africa? REALLY?!!?
Culture? Both continents are inhabited by human beings who have natural desire to have sex (much like eating), and they will do it with, or without contraceptives, and it has nothing to do with 'incentives'.

Too true!

I went back and reread your statement and sure enough it is a statement. A questionable one, but a statement nevertheless. Sorry, I don't always understand progspeak.

Yeah, thats a real solution, and one thats likely to happen.

Telling people to abstain always works.
You just reminded me of one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Many years ago, about 3 months before my first marriage my wife to be was talking with a group of other young women (all married) about how inconvenient pregnancy before marriage was and they asked her what her secret was. She just replied that we used a fool proof method and she got all kinds of questions about that, of course. Her answer was one word, "Abstinence" That is the part of Bush's program that I always believed in.

This is insanity. I DO NOT want to pay for YOUR birth control! Especially if you and millions of others, do NOT then use the BC the proper way and STILL get pregnant! Plus, imagine how many STD's will now be diagnosed....with the presumed decrease in condom use! Lovely! You and I will be paying for the AIDS/STD treatments that will follow the free birth control pills!!!!

And, if one cannot afford the $9 generic pills...then they have NO right to be risking becoming pregnant as they surely CANNOT AFFORD A CHILD which requires care in amts way greater than $9/month!

Obamacare is A FARCE. There is NO way the premiums will be affordable to everyday citizens with all this carp that is being given out free in the nanny-state Obama has created.
I agree with everything you said. I think that AIDS cases will skyrocket due to decrease condom use. I mean, why would a person use a condom when they can get free birth control? Lazy people will no longer pay for $3.00 condoms when the taxpayers are giving them free birth control.

LMFAO. If they didn't 'uncross their legs' and weren't 'sluts' some people would have nothing to blather about. Maybe the vitriol comes from personal experience.

They are kind of mutually exclusive, for the same person. Maybe women want to take personal responsibility instead of hoping the guy is packing a condom when he initiates the sex.

I've read enough of your posts to propose that your need to fit the world into little boxes such as 'progspeak' is due to a lack of ability to understand.

Is it, or is it not true, that the entire idea behind insurance is people paying for other people's health care?

Or is that the plan?
