Giving person A birth control paid for with person B's insurance premiums isn't free. It's government wealth redistribution from one private citizen to another private citizen.
This is how the discussion gets muddled. Turn off Rush Limbaugh b/c he's poisoning you mind. Person A already has insurance. They're already paying their own premiums. The argument was never about someone else paying for her free pills until Limbaugh tarded up the discussion w/ his brand of stupid. It was always about "religious freedom" blah blah.
It's rather ironic that 150 years ago the largest government give away spurred the rapid expansion of land ownership to American citizens, the Homestead Act of 1862, distributing some 270 million acres to some 1.6 million individuals and families. Under the subsequent legislation the federal government help to establish the Land Grant Colleges and Universities, many of which went on to become some of the premiere institutions of higher learning the country. Schools like Cornell University, Auburn, University of Florida, Purdue, Kansas State, Louisiana State, University of Georgia and others.
But it was an entirely different culture way back then. Conservatives then didn't have people being on government welfare to talk bitterly about. Instead, they complained about the business Miss Kitty was in, and why the hell alcohol wasn't banned everywhere.
Dear god, not another red state \ blue state stupidity thread. [/QUOTE
Funny how when someone on the left authors such a thread it is just another stupid thread, yet the same critics have little to nothing to say about the proliferation of threads from the other side. Now why can that be???
Because you don't notice them?
Tell you what, bet me a week of not posting here that I cannot provide you an example from the last week where I called out one of our regular posting rwnjs. (no fair looking first lol)
The bottom line is that your post was idiotic, you have no defense for it and so you are handwaving and well....I've called you on it. Bet me a week, take a break....you need one.

I don't care who you are, liberal or conservative, this red state blue state stupidity is ridiculous. Quit trying to run down other states to try and make yourself look better. It doesn't work and it is ignorance on your part. Beside that it is childish.

Not to mention that these threads are incredibly myopic, as many states could swing one way or the other if 1 person in 10 switched from D to R or vice versa. Nor do they take into account economic, social or demographic statistics when branding a state a certain way. You can't infer specific information about an entire state based on who they gave the slight edge to in the Presidential election.
The land the government "owns" belongs to We The People, they work for us we don't work for them...
Way back then that was obvious to everyone....
So what's the point of this commie drivel???
