What is Fluke's profession ? Student ? Intern ? Volunteer, activist, speaker for left causes ?

She has time to become a young professional woman, but she hasn't been one yet.

A woman who uses birth control is a prostitute?

Right wing logic.

She'll have a post in Obungle's group of czars if the people who vote for a living outnumber those who work for a living on election day.

This thread has nothing to do with young (or old) professional women.

This thread shows what conservatives think about men or women looking for a handout.

No but a woman wanting others to pay for her sexual exploits just might be worse.

As for the condom quip, doesn't matter either way. But I would think it hilarious for anyone to finish a speech during a rain of condom balloons.
Hey, if their best buddy won't stand on it's own, they should pay for their own viagra, and not ask you or anyone else to pay for it..

Except it's not about asking others to pay for it. It's about the expectation that one has that if you have prescription drug coverage on your insurance, that it will in some way cover your medications. And considering that birth control has a lot more functionality than just controlling birth and not everybody can take the cheap Target $9/month Ortho Tri-Cyclen (I can't), I don't see why insurance companies can just up and decide that they won't cover it.

What if insurance companies decided that people don't really need metoprolol and stopped covering it?

Lets be clear on the point.

There is no federal law requiring insurance companies to pay for Viagra. In a lot of cases, insurance companies cover this drug.

What Fluke is asking for is a federal mandate that requires all insurance companies to cover birth control drugs.

There is no apples to apples comparison here. One is done by a business the other is a demand that the consumer not using the product, pay for the product for others who may use the product.

I'm beginning to marvel at the selective and/or declining memory of some posters here. She advocated for insurance coverage of contraception, not a handout. The same insurance coverage afforded to horny old men for Viagra and Cialis.

Slam her all you will, but unless you are yourselves law school graduates, you've no place to call her a 'loser'.

The truth has no place here, begone!
