I can't believe that anybody could type this is about women's health with a straight face. I'd be willing to bet most birth control is on a four dollar generic list at walmart. This is about control. Govt control & controlling the political narrative.

Funny thing was the Republicans wouldn't even listen to her testify. She had to come back at a special informal meeting held by the Democrats on the committee.

So much for sober consideration of the issues and points of view.

just like when the democrats fled the state in Wisconsin, to avoid voting on the Governor's budget

Georgetown is a religious institution? This would be what I missed, then. It all makes sense. I thought it was a non-denominational university.

But still, I don't understand how it's considered "subsidizing sex" if it's for medical purposes.

Haha. That's what the entire debate is about.

My wife worked for a Catholic hospital system where they did the same thing. She still thinks it was wrong, but I disagree.

However, the hospital system did cover Viagra, which I guess means they were paying men to have sex but not women according to Rush's argument. I think that his argument is silly hyperbole.

In my little home town here in TN, the local health department gives pap smears and the pill to the low income women.

Rush is a douche.

That being said, to require anyone to do something he does not want to do is the opposite of freedom.

Most people don't believe in the idea of 'give me liberty or give me death' anymore do they?

For what it is worth, I just went online and looked up the generic version of Yaz, which my wife used to take, and you can get a 6 month supply for $72, without insurance.

Most people I know want women to have birth control. That does not mean that most people I know think that 1) your insurance plan should be forced to carry it or 2) the government should supply it to you.

The panel that testified to congress was a panel of conservative religious groups that were testifying about the religious liberty issue. There was no reason to discuss whether or not bc was good for a woman's health during that conversation. The talk was not about health, it was about freedom. Why are people misrepresenting that? When hearings are held about medical issues, are people who are against medical care for religious reasons brought in to testify? Of course not. Is it wrong that they are being left out of the conversation? Of course not, because the conversation is not about their freedom, it is about healthcare. Now, when the talk turns to forcing people to have healthcare or pay for it, then it becomes relevant for them to talk. And vice versa.

Being a slut has consequences. Why should tax payers pay one thin dime to a tramp who wants to bang her brains out and not give thought to the repercussions of casual sex? This slut is a 30 year professional protester.

If she wants to have sex, then let her pay the piper herself..

Another "health" reason for many, many young women- taking the pill is fantastic for controlling acne. Other than for safe sex, that's the only reason I've ever heard of females I know for taking the pill.

And the rape argument sucks. I'm sure a majority of those women are nasty anyway.

That goes back to Title X.

I think it's pretty apparent that the set of facts I'm working with regarding birth control and the set of facts others are working with are different. Title X and the structure of Planned Parenthood funding are what creates the low-ish prices for the pill. But, I'll leave it alone.

Back on the topic of Rush, I saw that he issued an apology. Losing five sponsors in a matter of 48 hours probably made him re-think his comments.

Rush was totally out of line. The lady should bring a lawsuit against him
He will be lucky if five sponsors is all he loses.

6 months from now, does anyone think this will be a major issue? God, I hope not.

Just wondering if some on here had the same outrage when Bill Maher made his comments about Elisabeth Haselbeck ?

The left gets away with this all the time, thats why I am not falling for it like most people on here. Remember what Maher called Sara Palin?

Do what?

Frankly, Rush is free to say whatever he likes on the radio (myself and many others are free to express that he's a waste of flesh) and Bill Maher is free to call Sarah Palin the c-word. The difference between Rush and Maher is that Rush has sponsors to answer to and now his affiliates are losing money hand over fist, while Maher is on HBO which allows him to say whatever he pleases with no consequence.

If it meant eventually seeing the kind of money Rush does, I would gladly follow his path and talk out my ass for the rest of my life. He didn't get where is being tame. While I don't agree with him most of the time, it's not too hard to see he knows how to get attention.

Rush is an attention ho. He is great at firing up the GOP base and pissing off the Dems .
i agree with the point he was making. i do not agree with how he made the point.
Calling someone on air a slut, prostitute and wanting her to film her sex acts so he can watch is uncalled for. i would think that would be a very good slander case.
