Just when I was going to get off of CD, I come across this on NPR:

Majorities In Senate And Public Support Birth Control Coverage : Shots - Health Blog : NPR

Read it and weep, 6th grade boys!

Craig Bannister at CNSNews.com did the math — and discovered that these co-eds, assuming they’re using the cheapest possible contraception, must be having sex about three times a day every day to incur that kind of expense.
What? You don't take birth control pills based on the amount of sex you have you just take them daily. This is a stupid comment.

Girls can have as much sex as they want (except my daughter.....but she's three now........I should throw my wife in there too but just with me) but they should pay for the birth control as should the guy. One for baby prevention (girl) and one for disease prevention (guy).

On a side note aren't there any hot Reproductive Rights Activists?

In case anybody thought that Sandra Fluke innocently believed her need for Birth Control would be paid by the University's health coverage plan, only to be surprised and disappointed when she found later that it wasn't.....

Quote:
Meet Sandra Fluke: The woman you didn’t hear at Congress’ contraceptives hearing - The Washington Post

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. “I decided I was absolutely not willing to compromise the quality of my education in exchange for my health care,” says Fluke, who has spent the past three years lobbying the administration to change its policy on the issue. The issue got the university president’s office last spring, where Georgetown declined to change its policy.
It's getting pretty obvious that she came to Georgetown University with the express plan in mind to force them to change their policy, in the face of the college founders' centuries-old policy not to support contraception in any way. Not simply to get an education as she claims, but to coerce the place into changing.

I went to college in the early 70's and great sex was not that difficult to find. It was not high school but that situation was unique.

As I said in another thread, paying for contraception is cheaper than the alternatives.

Lol, you do realize someone pays for insurance, maybe even you. Ms Fluke is demanding free contraception. Ms. Fluke needs to learn the lesson that nothing this world is free.
