Rush Limbaugh's apology doesn't change anything

[garbon]

Why is it not a positive to help ensure the people having children are those who want to have them and raise them? 

Edit: And actually I was not advocating that so much as saying this is why we subsidize that stuff to begin with.  Since I think cheap and dependable birth control is so vital, having the government subsidize it would probably ensure that both come later rather than sooner.

I don't think that's a bad thing. But it is one thing to say we want to make sure that all children are cared and loved for and another to say that we should prevent children from being born because they won't be loved and cared for.

For some reason this whole drama has escaped me. Actually I think my time has been better spent on CK2, Dwarf Fortress and Deep Space Nine via Netflix.


When did he say all this stuff anyway?

Just the other week. She testified on the 24th or something like that.

The chick he called a slut kinda reminds me of Winona Ryder.

I'm not a doctor or anything like that, but is the amount of birth control pills a woman has to take related in any way to the amount of sex they have?

younger Winona Ryder.

  That's the thing that got me about what he said, I was going to mention it but I was on my phone then forgot by the time I got to a PC.

She did lead with it, douchy.  When it's in your first 90 seconds, it's a lead.

Let's assume your angle is correct.  How big of an epidemic is it?  Let's run some numbers.   

According to wikipedia,  Polycystic ovarian syndrome affects between 5 and 10% of women of childbearing age.  Split the difference at 7.5%.  Georgetown's law school has a total enrollment of 2,017, 47% of which are women.  That's 948 women.  Assuming 7.5% of them have  Polycystic ovarian syndrome, that's about 71.  Ms. Fluke says 20% (gasp) were denied free birth control pills.  That gives us 14 women who were supposedly denied the free pills.

Was she making that big a deal over 14 people??

Yeah, if Winona were a little heftier and looked a bit lesbianish.  And didn't really look that much like Winona.

That was just an example, you narrow-minded, blinkered philistine.

I hope you have plenty of daughters, so when they require hormonal rebalancing, you can simply give them aspirin bottles.  Trog.

I took it to mean that the more sex you have, the more likely you are to "need" the pills-- versus using condoms for less frequent sexual activity.

Just the one, and I'll be able to take care of her without expecting a Jesuit university or others to, but thanks for the concern.
