Well a load of shit and a microphone.
Here is a nice breakdown of costs.

The pink and wobbly knob that seems to be missing from this conversation is thus.
This is not a discussion in secular learning institutions. Contraception is part of the insurance program? Why? Because Insurance is about reducing risk - and paying out for contraception is a whole fucking lot cheaper than paying out for pregnancy and delivery of a baby - with all the associated costs. It is a great deal for the students, it is a great deal for the insurers, it is a great deal for the colleges.
The only reason that schools like Georgetown are being put under a microscope is that they want to deny contraception to their students based solely on their feelings that it will make their imaginary sky-daddy cry tears of sorrow and rage as all those eggs and sperm fail to hook up during meet and greet night. (I am sure those tears are shed at every monthly menstruation that flushes an unused egg, or every night time admission that has the white wrigglers spilling on the linen.)
What utter fucking tosh.
Seriously. What the fuck. These misogynist douche-canoes are claiming religious discrimination because they are being forced to offer contraception as part of the coverage. Denying it to people who want it. That not discrimination. That is discriminating. If you don't like birth control, you don't use it.
Oh and this one from Morganni made me laugh
And I didn't even mention Limbaugh getting busted for his own 'recreational activities' on his way back from the Dominican Republic. Well... until now that is.
Quote:This was brought up on a local radio show, and someone pointed out thatThat sounds like two things.Anecdotal evidence - and bullshit. Planned Parenthood, place the cost of Birth Control pills at $15.00-$50.00 a month. I think the figure mention was $3,000 over an indeterminate period 4-7 years; the $1,000.00 a year was Mr. Limbaugh's number -though I will note that the price noted for the woman described in Ms. Fluke's testimony was $100.00 per month - which is over a $1,000 dollars a year.
they get a 3 month supply of birth control pills from Target for $9. How
do you get to $1000 a year from there?

Quote:And finally, I'm not having sex with anyone. Why should I be called uponOh? So no insurance for recreational activities (you aren't the first to pursue this particular line of thought.) Out for a job and tear a tendon. No insurance coverage for you. Can't have your recreational activities subsidized. Broken bone in the foot playing soccer. So sorry, we don't cover recreational activities. You are on your own. A case of hemorrhoids so epically swollen that your pet baboon has popped a woody - due to playing too many hours of Warcraft. So sorry...we don't cover recreational...
to subsidize other people having sex? I don't ask them to subsidize my
recreational activities.
