Did you read Ms. Fluke's testimony? It concerned a friend with polycystic
ovarian syndrome, a lesbian, who'd been denied contraception because the good priests at Georgetown couldn't accept that it was needed medicinally. Students pay for their health care at colleges and universities; it's included in tuition and fees. Yet this young woman was denied treatment and the result was a very large cyst on one ovary. That is the reason that religion has no place in making decisions of this nature. Guaranteed, Georgetown paid more for her surgery than they would have spent on contraceptives. My family has a history of endometriosis, and I had it when I was of childbearing age. Because of the adverse reactions I had to oral contraceptives, I chose to use an IUD. Doctors weren't treating endometriosis with hormonal therapy yet, and as a result I had an ectopic pregnancy and my left fallopian tube ruptured. Ever had one of your organs blow up?

This is no game, it's an issue for discussion. I'll remember to take your posts as seriously as you take the health of half of the population.
If you had bothered to even read or comprehend my [previous posts, you would see that I am ALL FOR issuing meds required for medical conditions. I made my comment, "Thank you for playing" because obviously the person I was replying to failed to notice my stance on this. If the medication is necessary for the treatment of a medical condition, then by all means, cover it.
As for the health of half the population, I do not ask that you concern yourself with MY health, I would hope that you do not ask that I concern myself with yours. While I wish no ill on anyone, my concerns are for my family's health. I do not earn a living for
