Sorry to break up the circlejerk going on, but in what sense are Republicans trying to stop birth control

We can't complain about poor people having children and creating more government dependents and then go out of our way to make it harder for them to not have unwanted children and take more money out of their empty pockets.

Wait, what does this have to do with Republicans preventing people from getting birth control

Are you suggesting that taxpayers not subsidizing something = the government is preventing you from getting that thing?


Um yeah. If someone is getting by thanks to government assistance and they lose that lifeline, then yeah they will probably have an even harder time obraining that thing. You know, with the whole not having money thing. Are you suggesting people can buy things without money?


then they should get a damn job, you can't live off the government your whole life

Yeah. And that doesn't change the fact some people are poor, even if they have a job. We can cut everyone off and wish really hard that they all get good educations and good paying skilled jobs, but I stopped confusing Disney or Hallmark movies with reality years ago. The reality is that there will always be poor people and shunning them is just cutting off your nose to spite your face. But I don't live in the Bioshock universe, so I see more government options than two extremes.

How much does a pack of condoms cost, again? If you're too poor to afford that, then you have much bigger problems than an inability to have safe sex.

Also, isn't it weird how people seem to be having MORE kids they can't afford in broken homes after the government decided to step in and "help" with more benefits?

It's almost like when you subsidize something, that thing will happen more often.

I'm sorry are you saying subsidizing birth control leads to more pregnancies? Point to the specific spot on your ass where that came from.

Hmm unintended pregnancy and abortion are both down as access to abortion, birth control, and sex ed has gone up. But please tell me how bad things at getting.

No, but subsidizing dependents does.

And also not subsidizing birth control =/= not letting people have birth control

You're right. Some people will just need to choose between the pill and their electric bill this month. We aren't actually banning them from doing those things, so it's all cool.

Keep in mind, the law did not use tax payer money to pay for birth control. It just made insurance policies provided by work places pay for birth control.

The same way those policies pay for Viagra.

So only people with money should be able to afford better options for pregnancy prevention? Republicans should be falling over themselves doing everything they can to stop unwanted babies and more poverty, but I guess moral grandstanding is more important to them than the fiscal responsibility they talk about. I'm trying to appeal to greedy self-interest here and you're still getting your nuts in a twist. Let insurance cover birth control now and you don't have to worry about more people looking for government dependence in the future.

BC should be widely covered on insurance plans. I don't see a ton of employer-sponsored plans dropping this just because this mandate was reversed, however it was a stupid decision to reverse it.

And on the conversation of "dick pills," very rarely are prescriptions for ED actually covered by a prescription plan. That's not medical necessity. BC typically falls under preventive care, so of course it's typically covered. As it should be, not to mention it has other medical uses

Birth control is preventative care, plain and simple. Insurance not covering basic preventative care is counter-intuitive and counter-productive.

I don't want to be forced to pay for mistakes that other people make. The introduction of LBJ's Great Society led to a massive increase in sexual mistakes.

Well you can pay into providing them birth control or you can pay into them raising children in poverty. Which is cheaper?


You're starting from the baseline that I have to pay for one. I guess people won't learn that the legit role of government is not to protect people from their own bad decisions until the government defaults on the debt.

So you want a society where the poor just eat each other? That would sure improve society, but hey at least less taxes!

And there is no 'legit" role of government as there are many forms. You want a specific form of government.


I just see the connection between the welfare state and the single mother state. Going back to pre LBJ America wouldnt mean that the poor eat each other.

Do I have to keep saying this? Most policies do not cover ED drugs. The ones they do will cover about four pills per month of only one specific brand (since no generic is available) if a doctor deems it medically necessary, and you still pay a copay.

And you can get tablet birth control for like $10 a month. Looking at Wal-mart's web site, for example, you can get nine different generics at $9 for 28 days, and another three at $9 for 30 days or $24 dollars for 90 days. If you can already afford insurance, that's really not a big deal. The issue is more for people who need more expensive birth control, or who would decide to skip it and then have sex anyway just to save a few bucks, leading to a drain on the public when they have to go on welfare programs to support their children.

We are actually subsidizing health care that pays for Viagra... But for Congress, not the people.

Birth control is better. Should companies be able to drop other drugs from their insurance plans if the ailments are self-inflicted and there are OTC alternatives? Why are we so fucking weird about sex in this country?

I actually don't have to much of an issue with the religious liberty argument of why a certain company might not want to pay for a specific form of healthcare in their insurance policy. I have no idea why birth control is the hill they choose to fight this on though. Especially when something like hormonal birth control can be used for things other than premarital sex.

Members of Congress are not provided with an insurance plan. They are required to purchase a marketplace plan with a 72% federal subsidy for gold-tier plans only. However, their own contribution can be with pre-tax payroll dollars. This also means that there is no single plan that is common across members of Congress.

And very, VERY few plans cover Viagra anymore now that Caremark exclusively covers Cialis.

Without even touching your pathetic view on poor people, birth control is not one size fits all. I have dealt with prescriptions for women who don't get have free birth control and it is not always cheap.

You'll never stop hockeybub from blaming someone else. While yeah there's some people that honestly can't afford birth control. There in a small minority despite his accusations.

And as we all know, having babies and being a housewife are the worst things that can happen to a woman

It is when you're forcing it on them and giving them no other options on how to live their lives.

Are we going to make exceptions for those people? Or do they get punished due to backwards religious views on sex? At the end of the day it doesn't really matter how much or little an individual may pay for BC because it really comes down to what your principles are. Birth control is a preventative medication that has functions beyond stopping pregnancy. There is no practical reason to turn it into a logistical nightmare just to make sure we pander to religious business owners and don't accidentally promote sex in society. Leave that shit in a backwards, outdated society, like the Middle East. I don't want to hear any fucking shit about how I'm the one being unrealistic. Forgive me for not decrying SJWs on one hand and turning around and making feelings-based arguments to protect fragile religious beliefs like you people. I'm not an idealistic hypocrite.
