the issues being carved out of health insurance coverage for target practice? What if women decided they did not WANT to pay for Viagra? What if young people decide they don't WANT to pay for hip and knee surgeries? Insurance is supposed to cover whatever your issue is. What if you choose from a laundry list of potentials and your dumb, unlucky ass gets something that's not on your list? Why are we still being bothered by birth control and abortion again?
Religious objection, you say? There are religious reasons in some denomination that objects to fixing anything that ails you. According to some religions it is God's will that you be sick, crippled, poor, raped, beaten, murdered, enslaved, starved, etc., etc., etc.,. Why do we bother trying to remedy anything? Because we are supposed to be civilized. We are supposed to be trying to improve the life experience for more and more people. Giving birth to a child you can't love because they are the result of rape or incest, or one you know you can't support financially in a system that is less and less sympathetic to your circumstance, or a child who will be sick and suffer every day of their life while you watch helplessly should not be decided by anyone but you. In a world where a man can make babies on the fly and keep moving, leaving a woman to carry the burden alone; why are we still being bothered by birth control and abortion again?
