I happen to resent all this hussy talk, it anti-Hussy and probably communist in origin, I am calling for a congressional hearing. We will weed out the anti-hussy faction. Jim (a known hussy)

As a defender of "blanks", that pisses me off too.

Are you suggesting we should "deal" with the unwanted pregnancies of those poor women both republican and democrat having those children in a world already glutted with unwanted children because you as a GOPer feel justified in that position or is it just to bolster the mean spirited, non thinking flow of republican bullshit? Feel free to answer with your usual nonsensical line...

Hahahahahaha.... Or maybe it's just not an issue for them. Maybe no one wants to have sex with them?
 
Can anyone tell me just how expensive it is for birth control systems. I know when I was young I always had some condoms available. Not expensive at all. Later after married my wife had some sort of creme and an applicator thing, also not expensive. I am sure surgical solutions could be a bit more expensive. Not all women need expensive solutions and we do not need to have large government run places to do this. And it does not matter what their political feelings are anyway. We can selectively help those in NEED of help and the rest can pay their way.

My opinion just like yours, but opposite of yours.
 
Bob, birth control pills cost about 50 dollars a month and don't need a prescription. Today, on Face The Nation, Hillary Clinton says she is rolling out a proposal this week for lowering the cost of prescription drugs.

I hear some folks being all concerned about " big government agency" providing for citizens.

Maybe they should contact the Social Security Administration and tell them that they don't want that monthly check they're getting, anymore.

Wrong choice of an agency to pick on. That is our money, taken while working, and due to us for the remainder of our lives. Much is gained for us older folks when younger folks pass away before they have spent their savings. Early deaths of workers help pay our way as we get older and pass our expected pay back dates.

I guess this is one of the newer ways of preventing births. Is that $50 per month for after Obama care has taken their turn to help? That is less than $2 per day and I doubt if using regular methods as my wife did would cost near that much. Maybe Hillary has a good activity planned. Getting our medical and prescription costs down is good. But how far down will the prescription companies go till they quite trying to invent newer or better solutions? Some of that stuff takes years to develop and some never make the grade. So those out front folks do need some assurance of making things work and have dollars to pay back the investors helping them along toward a victory and some profits to put aside toward their next efforts.
 
Interesting that those leaning far right suggest any and all should be able to afford birth control. Even if it is affordable, does that mean it will be used? Hence, the importance of counseling available at PP. After all, I doubt the daughter of a former governor and candidate for Vice President would have difficulty affording $50/month. Had she gone to PP for counseling on family planning, perhaps she wouldn't have a couple of kids born out of wedlock.

PP offers much more than just the providing of a means of birth control. They provide screenings for women's health issues and they provide counseling for family planning, STD prevention, AIDS awareness, etc., etc. But, it is mainly for the female gender and if the GOP had their way the 19th Amendment would be struck down.
 
$50 a month is pretty hefty for someone trying to support herself and her children on a minimum wage job. That's almost one days pay. But the cost of the medication is only part of it. Since it's a prescription drug and must be prescribed by a doctor, she would also have to foot the bill for a Gynecologist visit which could cost upward of
$125 PLUS the cost the laboratory charges to process and read the pap test, as well as the pathologist doing the reading.

Post #40 says no prescription is required. So maybe locally it is? Anyway, is that pill the only way now allowed for birth control. What has happened to those other methods, much lower cost, that did exist for when the need arrives? Do all need to have full time(?) birth control? Consoling is good, even without all the expensive prescriptions. How about encouraging some of the low cost ways for birth control efforts. I was not aware that the ending of the high cost birth control materials would close the Planned Parenthood offices. Truly a very confusing topic.

I've never ever heard anyone say that ALL should be able to afford birth control. Of course, not all can afford $50 a month…that's $600 a year. BUT, the left seems to forget that FREE counseling is also available 24/7 with Pro-Life. I know, because I was a Pro-Life Hotline Volunteer a while back.

Bob, yes, the IUD is very popular and is a one time charge but still an expensive doctor's visit….and the IUD is not for everyone.
 
Thanks folks. I am not against birth control methods at all. Happy the wife decided after our second child, a girl to keep her brother company, to let that be the end of our children. I just have a problem with some thinking all should go this more expensive way. There are other options available as those were what the wife chose to use for her possible years. And those would be the lower cost options available for the low income folks too.

Do Pro-life groups provide birth control and screenings for cancer such as pap tests and mammos? Because if they don't... the "Left" isn't forgetting anything Lara. It's not "counseling" that is needed.. It's medical care.. The "Right" seems to forget these are not synonymous.
