Exactly! Funny that they can't figure out why they are losing the women voters.

Exactly! She probably had plenty. She doesn't look like the kind that would be scrubbing toilets.

If I do not take BC my tumors will return and I will have to take anti cancer drugs and most likely will have to get my ovaries removed.

On top of that, my chemical unbalances make me so depressed (due to chemical issues in my brain obvi) that I am a high risk for suicide. I don't feel like that when I take my BC.

I do not have a partner and do not use my bc for contraception. If my employer is catholic, and they decide not to cover it, I could literally die. How is that fair? There are plenty of women like me. We need the pills. Men don't get this disease. So why do they have to have a say? BTW I pay thru my insurance, as my bc is what allows me to have my job. Without it is very hard to function.

I am only 34. I need to know if I am going to have to deal with this, on my own, because if my employer is catholic I am screwed. And there are many women like me.

AND.... Your buddy Akin was the one who placed the subject back into the debate.
Akin isn't my buddy. I can relate to your health issues as my little sister has severe endometriosis and cystic ovaries and is on birth control pills to reduce issues with it having spread to her bowel. It's not working though so she's facing hysterectomy or bowel removal (some of it). My sister is your age. You could still get birth control pills from other legal sources. They aren't that expensive.

that is obvi.not the point; the point is that no employer should take them from a policy just because the employer is catholic (that was the base of the whole Sandra Fluke controversy). The pills are not expensive but getting them without insurance can be.

You know, Jehovah's witnesses are against blood transfusions, so under that same token if your employer decides they will not pay for them in the policy, than you as an employee are doomed. Or you have to pay out of pocket for them. How ridiculous that is.

I am sorry about your sister, maybe a hysterectomy sounds bad now, but some times is inevitable.

Is Mrs. Romney running for office?! Are "Women's Rights" on the voting block? Are you so incredibly stupid that you would vote for a single subject you think would be overturned?!............ever?! WOW......we DO need some sort of test to make sure those who are voting actually have a brain.

Ann, other than her health issues, has led a very pampered life I am sure. But, in spite of that, she she is markedly aware of it.

that is a rediculous statement. All candidates wives accept interviews, it is part of the campaign, but asking questions about policies that could affect our country should not be part of the picture; she was completely right to suggest it is her husband these types of questions she be referred to, she isn't running for office.

she might as well not accept them IMO she is not very articulate. She repeats the same non-sense when they ask her questions.

That interview was more damaging to the campaign ,than helpful.

I can't wait for the lamestream media to ask Moochelle her position on:

*2nd Amendment
*Voter ID
*carbon emissions taxes
*funding for UNESCO
*Sharia Law
*school choice
*legalizing marijuana
*termination of live birth abortions
*the Patriot Act
*detention of American citizens without arrest/trial


I'll hold my breath.
