Viagra is covered by insurance.
"vasectomy is expensive, it is a one-time cost and is often covered by medical insurance"
The GOP is, in general, not friendly to more family and medical leave.

There are many coordinated actions BY GOVERNMENT against planned parenthood, which is - by far - the leading provider of health and reproductive care and advice to poor and middle class (and other) women.

These actions involve the cutting off of funds for the BASIC parts of that health care - pap smears, breast cancer exams, etc. etc.

Maybe you can fool yourself but you aren't fooling others.

Fail.
You just made up reasons to be outraged; you don't know that any of those items will be changed. The fact that Madonna is your "role model" is downright hysterical. THAT'S how a real woman acts?! THAT'S the role model for your daughter??!!

I would ask in response. Being as we know he lies and misleads....and has hired the worst of the worst in the very people who have destroyed this country, what makes you think his policies will be helpful to that "forgotten" man and woman? The first order he signed was to raise mortgage rates on him and her and to start dismantling health care.

Do you think chaos and lack of ability is going to turn out well? I'm interested.
In other words you're looking for group therapy and have decided to protest things you think might happen but are out of your control anyway.

I thought divorces were a sin in the eyes of God?

Fairness? You probably mean that guys can sire children and have the woman raise them...and therefore often forego education and career....and then that the guys shouldn't have to pay for the remainder of raising their spawn. Is that it?

What is "fair"? I thought most states were 50/50 no-fault these days. Did the women tie up and force those men to get divorced?

It's a well known fact - to everyone - that the most beneficial thing one can do for their finances is to stay married. Complaining that men who divorce are less well off is like complaining that drunk wife beaters usually get the short end of the stick also.

By making divorces more fair, this will require women to also work to produce and pay into an equal share of child support his will make women own up to their responsibility rather then just become lazy and milk divorces.

And why is that? Because the WOMAN is the one who quits her job to take care of your kids. She's the one that will only make a fraction of your income when she goes back because she's been out of the workforce for so long. And, she's the one who will most likely have the kids most of the time, and will be paying for their stuff.

And what motivations do you think Republicans have to do that? They're just bad guys meeting at a secret volcano island base concocting planes to rule the world? Ever think you're just making stuff up to make you feel like the good guys?

I can tell you came from Huffington Post, you spout all the fake news they've posted on their site.

I much rather see successful multi-millionaires and billionaires get a chance to run politics than people who couldn't make it in the real world and are life-time politicians that live on handouts from Wall Street.

Hillary Clinton makes a career of lying on TV, she also lives on handouts from the rich & wealthy. She should be in jail had Ivanka Trump & Chelsea Clinton not been friends she would be sent in orange jumpsuits by now.

Ah, but they are not out of my control. I marched on DC during the Vietnam War and history shows that public opinion was a major part of getting out of that debacle. More recently, the same was true of Iraq.

That's the whole idea you don't seem to get. UNTIL AND UNLESS people march on DC and elsewhere, nothing is going to change.

And I'm talking about changes you probably support...at least some of....

Like - more manufacturing, better and less expensive health care, savings on the military budget, paying down the debt and deficit and doing away with tax cuts from debt, etc. etc.

DC is not going to just do these things by themselves. Why should they? They have their pieces of the pie - very large ones, in fact.
