[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom has been denied a certain chemo drug for her metastasized breast cancer.  A drug that would only cost $500 more than the one she is currently using.  She has double coverage insurance, that her and my father have been working the last 35 years to pay for.  She pays taxes, raised three kids without government assistance, and battled cancer for 14 years without missing more than a week of work.  She is still working five days a week at age 60 with stage 4 breast cancer.  I want to know why some young woman's "need" for contraception is such an important issue.  I seem to remember that when I was in college, they kept buckets of condoms just inside the health department door, and you could grab handfuls for free if you wanted them.  This is a non issue, and everyone should be ashamed of themselves for getting in such a lather over it.  [/quote]

Your mother's cancer does not invalidate other people's medical needs, and the reasons for her insurance coverage however valid or invalid they are, have no bearing on this.  I'm not going to debate the relative merits of your mother vs. women of childbearing age.  But as a person who lost both parents to cancer, shame on you for pulling the cancer card.[/quote]

So I will be shamed.  There are WAY more important things going on in the world than contraception.  If you can't figure out how to get condoms, than you should not be having sex.  This is something I have heard on this website for a long time.  If you can't afford kids, don't have them; if you can't afford a huge house, don't buy one; if you can't afford a fabulous lifestyle, don't have one.  Follow your own advice.   Contraception is not a "health issue" it is a choice issue.    If you choose to have sex, you need to take care of yourself.   I for one don't want the government telling me which type of contraception I can use.   I truly wish people would put this much energy into fighting child abuse.  I can't remember the last time some grad student faced congress and plead for the victims of child abuse to be cared for and protected.  Shame on you for wasting our time. [/quote]

You are fundamentally missing the point, to the point that I would guess you are being willfully stupid:[b] birth control is used in order to treat. medical. problems.[/b] Endometriosis. Anemia. Menorrhagia. So what "choice" exactly do you imagine with these problems to be making? Because I sincerely don't recall checking the square for the "vagina/uterus" combo pack I was issued.[/quote]
