    Good point. It looks like David1987 is becoming our new chew-toy.

    Fireweaver, didn't we have this same discussion with Carl in another thread? What is it with men who don't understand how important women's healthcare is? Birth control and gynecological exams are not just for pregnancy prevention. There are so many things we have to be screened for now---cysts, cancer, endometriosis---the list goes on. My good friend from high school is fighting stage III ovarian cancer right now at age 26. She had her first surgery this week to remove some of the tumors---JUST now, at stage III. You know what her biggest hangup was besides losing her organs? MONEY.

    Putting a price tag on healthcare is effing ridiculous. I maintain that it should be a right, not a privilege.
    We did indeed. My sister died from cervical cancer. This was before the HPV vaccines were developed and that asshole Texass governor of ours essentially banned it claiming it would lead to increased slutdom or some other such bull shiite. The same garbage david1987 is spouting.

    And birth control - there's this free option. It's called abstinence. A wild idea I know but if you don't want a baby you shouldn't do something that's going to make one!
    I can see why you would preach abstinence - you can't get any yourself so you spout nonsense to make yourself feel all better and superior and stuff.
    Get a grip kiddo - biology trumps morality every time. Full stop.

    I would really like to lure little david over to Pharyngula and let them have their way with him. Little david types traipse through there all the time and end up either being banned, banished to the "dungeon", or running away with their tails tucked firmly between their legs (after being thoroughly macerated).

    See? I'm sorry about your sister. HPV is one of those things you can have for years and never know.

    And I can only imagine just WHO that governor was....

    So why not invent a drug that treats the disease, instead of one that has "the side effect" of killing someone?

    What? Like blood clots? Anyone can fatally throw a blood clot. There are risks with every drug, surgery, or treatment out there---even something as mild as acetaminophen (Tylenol) can cause serious liver damage with prolonged use.

    Better don't do anything that will cause pregnancy. Oral, anal and hand jobs galore!

    The affordable care act, aka Obamacare, is little more than measly private insurance reform. It makes it easier to get access to PRIVATE INSURANCE and forces the insurance industry to stop the most egregious abuses such as lifetime limits, rejecting claims with virtually no recourse, or retroactively cancelling your policy when you need it the most. All of which are currently allowed.
