The feminist fought for woman to be empowered. No we are rendered helpless unless the "government" or some other third party provides for our sexuality. Part of being a feminist is taking charge of our own sexuality. Get your but to the drug store, planned parenthood, etc. and get a box of condoms and some spermicide if you can't afford the pill. If the asshole you are sleeping with won't wear a condom then he is too big of a jerk to sleep with in the first place. Helpless woman who feel entitled to have someone else take care of them make me ashamed to be woman.

Feminists fought for woman to be treated equally, the same as men.

Contraception is part of basic health care, and if health care insurance is provided to both males and females, it should include preventative care for males (including things only males need) and females (including things only females need, including prevention of pregnancy, or care while pregnant) and care while ill for both males and femals (including, for females, care during complications arising from pregnancy)

It is in the best interests of any insurance company to cover the relatively small cost of contraception versus the much larger costs associated with pregnancy (especially any high risk pregnancy or pregnancy with complications) and childbirth.

I bet people who are against birth control pad by HI, are the same ones against abortion.... Dam if you do, damm if you don't!

Insurance companies are not providing condoms to men. Why should they provide birth control to woman. Your argument has not merit 18:34. This is a case of woman wanting special treatment because they are women. Hardly a feminist position.

AND to add to that AGAIN, the birth control pill isn't ONLY used to prevent pregnancy. It is used by many women for: polycystic ovarian syndrome, hormonal imbalance, endometriosis, anemia related to menstruation and dysmenorrhea just to name a few conditions.

She knew she was accepting public money to go to a Catholic University that would not provide birth control. She is getting what she paid for----or in this instance what she didn't pay for.

You know what, this isn't even about what insurance companies should and should not cover. That's a distraction.

This is about the belief that women who have sex out of marriage, or sex within marriage and want to control their fertility, are somehow amoral sluts and whores. Call him a shock jock or whatever, he's just saying what all these assholes really think. I will NEVER vote for a Republican again as long as I live.

Lest we forget that Rush Limbaugh is a former drug addict who engaged in fraud to feed his habit. http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-201_162-1561324.html Of course, before getting caught he said that drug users should go away for a long time, e.g., http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1159 . After he got caught with his hand in the chemical candy jar, he instead got a high priced lawyer to get himself a deferred prosecution. No mandatory minimums for conservative shock jocks, you know. So yeah, he's on sufficient moral high ground to be calling kids sluts for suggesting that health plans should cover contraception.

I agree, PP. They lost my vote, my sisters and my mother's. We were talking about voting for a Republican this year.

The past couple of weeks has been a real eye-opener.

Condoms are not medication. If there were a medicine that men could take that would prevent pregnancy, I think it should be covered by health insurance drug plans.

Has that medicine yet been invented?

Indeed, if there were a medicine that men ciould take that would cause pregnancy to be able to (potentially) occur -- such as... VIAGRA.... which allows intercourse to take place, and thus potentially allows conception -- then THAT should also be covered by health insurance drug plans.

Oh, wait, it IS.

What about vasectomies? Are they covered as medical procedures by health insurance companies?

You can buy condoms over the counter. Women can't buy birth control pills over the counter. You must be followed by a physician to use the pill and women use the pill for reasons other then just to prevent pregnancy. Of course health insurance should pay for it, it is a part of reproductive health for many women. WTF people?

Why should insurance provide medicine to anyone? Because that's what health insurance is for! And good medicine is often sex specific because yes, men and women have different health needs. Should insurance not pay for a hysterectomy because men don't get them?

No! He has 15 million listeners who listen to this stuff and go along with it. And the conservative politicians may not approve of everything he says, but they are happy to have him doing it because it rallies these people for their benefit.

So to me, this is 15 million reasons to get to the polls and vote in support of women's rights.

What on earth does this have to do with public money?
