2012 Political Predictions

I sure as hell didn't make my company or government pay for my vasectomy.

Your health insurance didn't cover your vasectomy? Color me surprised.

[Gaspar]

You make the mistake of assuming that what works for people you know works for everyone. There are people out there for whom IUDs are not an option. There are also people out there who can't use generic BCPs.

I've got my wife chewing on this now.  Before we had kids, she was on the most expensive BC  Yaz or Yasmin or whatever.

She still can't make the numbers work, because it comes out to over 30 years, and you actually can't use those products that long. 

I'm sorry that you can't recognize even the stupidest of pandering through your cloud of love for Dear Leader.

Wow..ODS much?

Agreed, wife used something that was pretty expensive for a stretch, non generic pill thing. It was still less than $100/month. Since, a pill type thing would only set her back $15/month to $0 believe it or not. The insurance we currently have covers 100%.

I understand not everything works for everyone. But this is still an incredibly lame argument. Fluke flunked.

$37.50 a month for 40 years is $18,000. My SO's non-generic BCP (when she was on it) was $45 a month, but the insurance company paid $40 of it.

(I don't disagree that it's a silly way to put it, but I don't agree that it's factually incorrect)

It doesn't matter.  They could have put a $70,000 price tag on it and the Taxers would be foaming at the mouth that it's a legitimate responsibility of government to cover or mandate coverage for it. The derangement stems from watching people around you swallow all this crap without question or even the application of simple reason.

I doubt you will find a woman who uses BC for 40 years.  Any physician that allows a woman to continuously use BC for that long should have his license revoked.

reason.

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that you have a monopoly on reason, and that any reasonable person would obviously come to the same conclusion as you do.

Perhaps an excerpt from Bob Crandall's recent letter to an AA pilot will help clarify things.

When two groups have differing opinions on a subject, the disagreement implies nothing except that there are multiple views about the probable results of a particular decision.

Any physician that allows a woman to continuously use BC for that long should have his license revoked.  

Cue the owl again. Why is that, doctor?

Greatly increases the risk of breast cancer, as well as several other diseases.

We're only moderately effective at screwing with nature.

Try to keep up with the literature, doc. There have been new developments in medicine since 1983.

My prediction for 2013.

If Obama is to win, he will have bookoos of time since he won't be constantly campaighning. 

If Romney wins, the blame train will live on.

President Obama's new ads capitalize on the stupidity of his base, by treating women like helpless idiots, dependent on government for the care of their own bodies.


Target sells all three of the popular birth control formulations for a flat fee of $9 a month ($108 a year).
Nuvaring for about $60 a month ($712 a year).
30 Condoms for $29.97 (about $300 a year if you use one every day). 

You can get a Toyota Corolla for less than $18,000.

If you had sex every day (like I do), it would take 60 years of condoms to equal $18,000.

Perhaps Republicans should offer to buy Toyotas for women in exchange for votes?

Once you give people their Obamarubbers, it's hard to take them away.

Something else comes to mind here.

Why do Democrats take such a sexist stance that birth control is the sole responsibility of a woman in the first place? 

There's no war on women from the right, the Democrats are simply pimping them out for votes.
