Rush Limbaugh Goes Off on Birth Control, Sandra Fluke

Obviously you didn't watch Fluke's testimony which the majority of it was about cases she knew of at Georgetown where women were denied birth control coverage needed for medical reasons. The truth is we all have sex, some of us want children and some want to prevent it. Me I have no desire for children of my own, but I live in a state that mandated insurance companies to cover maternity and yes everyones premiums went up because we are all now paying for the women's costs of giving birth. I don't mind this however even though I will never use this coverage because it is good for those who need it. Do I like paying for you to have kids, not really but I deal with significantly increased premiums with some dignity, don't tell me you don't want to pay for my sex life because where I live I am paying for yours and believe me I am paying more for you than you are for me.

to pegvoltz, what illness does birth control cover? Endometriosis, Premenstrual dysphoric disorder, cycstic achne, androgenetic alopecia, Hormone imbalance, ovarian cysts, oligomenorrhea, Uterine Fibroids, multiple sclerosis (yes M.S), dysmenorrhoea, Amenorrhea. Just to name a few. birth control is an unfortunate name for this type of medication which is really a hormone treatment.

I hate using my phone for this so many spell errors....but to add to my statement...insurance does cover eyes and dental...not to mention some ppl are put on bc for medical reasons its not only to prevent pregnancy...lots of ppl i know had to be put on bc for diff reasons and none of them were to prevent pregnancy

Pegvolz...sex isnt always just for fun its what 2u people do when they love eachother bc doesnt promote it...it makes it possible to prevent a pregnancy. So u get real...u as a tax payer would rather pay for someone to be on welfare cause they cant afford a kid instead if insurance pay for at least half the cost of birth control. I understand arthritis is an illness maybe u should look into medicare for ur meds and maybe girls who cant afford bc can get in medicaid for it...either way if thet cant afford it u will see ur tax dollars at work either thru welfare or medicaid...im not saying that ppl wouldnt and dont have sex as a recreation time but some people try to be responsible and if they pay for insurance why noy throw bc in there...its a lot cheaper in the long run

Terin: Arthritis is an illness; what illness does birth control cover? When we get fat, we have to control our eating habits, when we get flabby we have to exercise to get our muscles back in shape. When we don't want to get pregnant, we have to use sex wisely, not depend on society to allow us to have sex at will and pay for the fun with our tax money. The tax bucks could be paying for decent dental work and decent vision care, things that are totally neglected in most insurance plans, before paying for recreational meds like viagara and the pills, birth control and abortion pill; get real, we all know what these products promote!
