By my logic of course your wife should be covered for this under her insurance for a the medical benefits that a the artificial estrogen would give her system to maintain homeostasis. You said it yourself -- she is taking it for MEDICAL reasons -- not to facilitate her sex life. This is a red-herring because you have changed the issue. I personally know of no republican, or anyone really, who would argue against covering your wife for this use of the pill. <br /><br />The issue of your wife is not being considered in the public discussion. No organization I know of including the Catholic Church is against synthetic estrogens for medical reasons -- and I sure you know that. That has nothing to do with the phony issue that Obozo, Pelosi, and the progressives using Saint Sandra Fluke for -- eh? <br /><br />Not all insurance plans cover optional surgery which a vasectomy clearly is. Do you think your insurance should also pay for the surgery to reverse the process should you want to try to restore you fertility again?<br /><br />Sure we can pass a law to FORCE every insurance company to pay for EVERY medical procedure for EVERY person -- should we include insect repellant,band aids, and sun screen as well? In fact, I think they did a law like that -- it's called Obama-care for short. The question everyone but the incompetent fools in the Obama Administration are asking is: how do you plan to pay for it? <br /><br />Maybe you think the 1% folks who already pay over 40% of the federal taxes should just pay more? But oh BTW could they also keep on starting up new small businesses and hiring the 99% -- of better yet provide the additional welfare?<br /><br />In your view (I assume) it is the Democrats, who are systematically reversing and eliminating all of the personal liberties our forebears left England to escape, and fought wars to preserve, who are ones in the 21st century?<br /><br />With all due respect, Sandra Fluke and her sex life notwithstanding, I guess I will take the 19th century if those are my choices...personal liberty versus the cradle-to-grave nanny state......Fargo44https://www.blogger.com/profile/07836292761618023671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-39526936974803956872012-03-24T12:34:50.368-04:002012-03-24T12:34:50.368-04:00Fargo, my wife is on the pill to regulate her peri...Fargo, my wife is on the pill to regulate her period, not to prevent pregnancy. You see sometimes womens hormones go completely out of whack and instead of having her period once a month she was having it two, sometimes three times a month, complete with some major heavy bleeding. Twice a month she was going to the doctor for blood infusions. Her DOCTOR put her on the pill as a way to avoid her having a total hysterectomy, since they like to avoid giving those to women under 40 if at all possible. Therefore she is on the pill for a MEDICAL reason. The inability for wingnuts to see the forest through the trees is insane. To prevent pregnancy, I had a vasectomy, which was covered by my insurance by the way. Using your logic, it shouldn't have been covered...<br /><br />Also I never said I was a liberal, I'm just a big believer in people being treated fairly, and I would like to see the republican party step into the 21st century instead of hanging out in the 19th...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-56578567454807836872012-03-24T02:27:33.912-04:002012-03-24T02:27:33.912-04:00Typical dimwit liberal talking points!

The differential in AVERAGE pay is due to life choices that women tend voluntarily to make.<br /><br />Viagra is a drug used to cure a physiological medical problem -- impotency. <br /><br />Birth control is to regulate pregnancy. Pregnancy is not a disease. <br /><br />Like shooting fish in a barrel.

Or that anyone will contend it’s not "considered only natural" for women "to be more liberal in their politics.” Feminists might hate these generalizations, but they are commonly held perceptions..."<br /><br />He said GENERALLY VIEWED as less rational etc. than men. He did not say that he shared that view --did he? So how can you say he "seriously argued" it? <br /><br />Also, I would say, judging from all the screaming and yelling by the "feminists" talking heads everyday that THEY think women are unfairly viewed.<br /><br />I don't share that view i.e., that women are unfairly viewed or unfairly treated. In contrast, it seems to me that it is men who get the short end of the stick these days in most arenas. <br /><br />I think women just keep putting up that old, me-as-the-victim scarecrow to have something to beat upon. And why not? That is the "game" racial minorities have been playing for decades wouldn't you say?

I don't think it was the gender thing but rather every now and then, loony or not, Dennis could show a little candor -- on rare occasions. <br />Jean Schmidt was my congresswomen as well -- IMO she generally voted OK. She also often spoke before thinking, too often seemed unprepared, and was put in to office by "the machine" because it was her turn, when better conservative candidates were available --esp. the first term. Consider that her predecessors in that seat Gradison and Portman -- enough said.<br /><br />As to you "sins"....I say yes indeed, there ARE some women in politics who just don't know any better -- and some men too. So I don't see the problem -- you were talking about a woman in this case eh? <br />I doubt you would hear any men taking issue if you had said "the poor guy; he just doesn't know any better" now would you?
