It IS the bottom line. We can harp all we want about whats right and fair and moral but when it comes to sex, arguably the most basic human function, it's stupid to pretend it's just a "lifestyle choice" or "risky hobby" that shouldn't be taken into account when it comes to healthcare.

Not sure if Walsh realizes but she has to graduate from law school and pass the bar before she can practice law. Not sure if Walsh also realizes that your health care insurance providing contraceptive is not the same as everyone providing contraceptives.

This story almost matches the one about the moronic Democratic congressman who thinks that an island will tip over if too many people get on it.....

I already tried to educate you on the other thread where you made this ridiculous association in order to save you from future embarrassment. Teabagging isn't only for gay men. How you can even think that is absolutely baffling.

He's the same dipstick who didn't like Tammy Duckworth talking about her military service as a Blackhawk pilot. Screw him. He'll be a part of history in a couple of months and looking for a job himself.

Right. Under FDR the top tax rate was raised to 92% to fund the WPA and the CCC.

We need an immediate replay to bring America out of the doldrums.

I disagree. Insurance should be only for when things go wrong, not every day stuff.

If you want to have sex, and need contraception, buy it yourself. It's not as if it's as expensive as buying a car.

And under Reagan AND Clinton, taxes were lowered, and our economy took off.

Tell that to Griff Jenkins of FOX. He is the one who first used the phrase politically, apparently not realizing that there could be another connotation. Ignorance are bliss, huh..?

Taxes were lowered after unemployment had fallen. Right now they need to be raised to provide funds to jumpstart the economy.

Reagan, BTW, grew the government 15% during his tenure, and doubled the national debt.
