1. It does cost money to see a doctor - even PP charges. The closest one to me charges $60 (no sliding scale at that office). A good deal, to be sure, but hardly free.

2. Not everyone can take the $9/month pill. My current prescription is $30 generic. When I was insured and could afford to take the best prescription for me, it was a $40 copay, $75 cash price.

3. Most college students are at least partially, if not completely, funded by loans and grants.

4. Though the current kerfuffle is about BCP and Rush's ignorance thereof, I have a feeling you and those who like your "arguments" would be horrified if you couldn't get blood transfusions because your employer was a Jehovah's Witness and didn't believe in them. And that is where this "freedom of religion" (for the employers, not the employees) could lead with just a few more stupid senators to vote for it.

All I see is advertisers bowing to pressure from liberals that are anti- 1st Amendment. But soon enough those advertisers are going to be replaced. They are losing out on tens of millions potential customers. There are no liberal talk show hosts with more than 25million listeners.

I think that is the liberals MO, if you don't like what the opposition says, don't debate them, silence them!

There are plenty of conservatives, but they are not "bible thumping whiners". You liberals just can't see the real conservatives,...you have your collective heads too far up the butt of the America-hating, egotistical, narcissistic, empty-suit in the White House.

This is not about equality, although the leftwing media wants to make it out as that. It's about religious rights, the Constitution, and a woman that can't take responsibility for her own actions. She chose to go that school, knowing her birth control wouldn't be covered. Now she wants that to change. Kind of like the morons that buy a house under the airport flight path, then petition to have the airport moved.
Wanna know why many people who are not conservative think that? Look at those YouTube vids of those idiots shot during the '08 campaign in Strongsville, Ohio for an example. There's your answer.

Now... answer this: are female birth control pills taken in the same manner as Viagara is for men?

Good. Of course, the screechmonkeys will claim that Obama's behind it because it was a Hawaiian station that fired Rush first. And I hope they go there. That would be the most blatant display of RW stupidity EVER.

And this is the proper response. You let him and others like him know your displeasure with the pocketbook, not by demanding his firing or censorship, you let the market decide.

I agree. And just think of the irony - the 'free market' which Rush and his ilk love so much is giving him a drubbing as we speak.
