I always try to listen to sides before I make a judgment, but when there is a old man who has gotten scripts to get his pencil to go upright on top of a boatload of painkillers, etc., I find his rheortic beyond inapprorpiate. 

Before you flame on me, I listen to both sides, and I won't attack anything that has a bit of logic.

I don't think tax payers should be - sm

paying for either contraception or boner pills. BCP can be obtained at any PP facility for little cost to the patient. There is nothing stopping them from attaining BCP....including religion. If they doctor at a Catholic hospital, they can go to PP for little money and get the contraception that they need/want. As for boner pills....I just think this is ridiculous. Why should this be paid for my taxpayer dollars? If a man, God forbid, can't get it up...too bad...so sad.

I find that the topic of BCP has been taken WAY out of context. I've listened to both sides. The only thing BCP is beneficial is for preventing unwanted pregnancies. However, the potential side effects of said BCP can be quite deadly not beneficial at all to women's health.

As for Limbaugh's comments....he was out of line and I admit it. However, there have been many horrible comments by the left that have gone unnoticed that were just as bad. The names that Bill Maher has called Sarah Palin are just horrible. The song they played on the Jimmy Falon show when Palin was on and the song was talking about a crazy b*tch or something like that. I'm tired of the double standards. Rush shouldn't have said what he did, but I don't see why he should be crucified for doing what many on the left do.

BCP only beneficial for unwanted pregnancies? - Beg to differ.

They are used to treat
1) ABORTION PREVENTION
2) Acne and other oil-based skin blemishes with lowered risks of infection and abscess 3) Irregular cycles due to low weight, stress, excessive exercise, or damage to the ovaries from radiation or chemotherapy
4) Hypermenorrhea/menorrhagia
5) Menstrual cramps
6) Premenstrual syndrome
7) Reduced fluid retention with pills containing drospirenone, a form of progestin
8) Polycystic ovary disease
9) Endometriosis and its associated debilitating/disabling pain (as in cramps on steroids 24/7/365, the kind that double you over and put you to bed, yet prevent you from sleeping), something I have personally experienced. Hormonal therapy can help postpone definitive surgical treatment of endometriosis for years, thus increasing the chances for some patients to conceive a pregnancy, should they CHOOSE to do so.
10) Controlling anemia
11) Reducing the incidence of mega-painful ovarian cysts not associated with PCOS, that quite often require expensive surgical intervention and lead to lost work days. For college students, missing final exams happens in the absence of treatment, something that Slush lies about, then equates to being paid for having sex.
12) Reducing risk of uterine (endometrial) and ovarian cancer….40 percent within years 1-5 and by a whopping 70% after 12 years of use.

You are also misinformed about PP. The issues you raised in this post were addressed in detail below in the uninformed flamer post directly below.

This controversy isn't about taxpayers paying about anything! - me

This is about privte insurance companies being mandated to cover BCP, OK? It has nothing to do with the TAXPAYERS.

Oooh, sorry, taxpayers are not paying for anything! - me

Taxpayers are paying - What country are you in

Strengthen the coffee and then actually follow where the taxpayer money goes and what it supports. PP alone, over the years, has gotten several million.

Sick of paying for all this garbage - Fed up taxpayer

[ In Reply To ..]
PP gets enough of my taxpayer as it is. I am sick of paying for everybody lazy behind that will not take care of themselves. Okay flamers, knock yourself out. I would never deny a poor person services, but there are far too many abusing the process that are not poor and can readily pay for their own care. Cannot wait to see your BCP flamers be forced to pay for something through Obamacare that you are opposed to...Bet you will write different posts then.

Both sides? No way! - sm

You obviously did not HEAR the other side of this discussion.

I PERSONALLY had to take birth control pills in my 20s for a MEDICINAL purpose. It was either try that or else I'd have to have a hysterectomy.

The pill IS MEDICINAL for untold amounts of females, having nothing to do with contraception.

The story Ms. Fluke was denied the opportunity to relate at the hearing before all the MEN was about her best friend who also needed BCP but could no longer afford them and wound up having to have surgery on her ovaries as a DIRECT RESULT of not being able to afford BCP.

It's not just for birth control purposes. THAT'S the other side of the story that you claim you've listened to both sides, which you obviously didn't.

You have completely missed the point of...sm - oldtimer

the whole BCP issue. NO ONE is asking for tax payers to pay for birth control. What is being asked for is for women who have health insurance that they PAY FOR through a group plan at their place of employment receive hormone therapy in the form of BCPs as part of their coverage. That's it, no government funding involved.

What's A Good Conditioner For Fine, Limp, Tangly Hair?Jan 17, 2010
I've always had troublesome hair - thin, fine, limp, tangles at every turn of my head.  Conditioners are a must or I could never comb it at all.  Most conditioners are too thin, runny and wimpy for my hair, and it takes me forever to comb it out (my hair is really long, down to my fanny, and straight as a board).   Every time I find a product that works in my hair, they take it off the market, it drives me nuts!  My current product is Pantene conditio ...

Every time I see him he is nice and we talk literally for hours.  He told me off the bat he is not much of a phone person so he doesn't call much, but he sends a few texts every day.  At first he wanted to see me several days a week... one of my friends called him my "boyfriend" though and I think it freaked him out.

I Could Use Some Opinions Jun 25, 2010
Hey everyone, this is my first time posting on this board, but I thought I'd see if I could get some input. My ex husband met this woman and moved her in with him after only knowing her for 1-1/2 months. I wasn't real thrilled with the idea because we have two kids and joint custody, so they spend half their time at their dad's. Honestly, I was feeling a little jealous about some other woman spending time with my kids. I met her and she seemed nice, so I got used to the idea and ...

Hi all, What do you think about people who pray for, what I term, silly things? Like what color drapes to buy, what shoes to wear that day, etc. I find it rather silly because people have to take controls over their own lives. I do not believe in "handing everything over" to the higher power. Our higher power (who I term God) gave us brains and will and power to make decisions. I don't call this an abuse of prayer, I just don't understand why some people can't think for themsel ...
