Rush Limbaugh: "YOU'RE A SLUT!"

Quote from trendlover:

The point is for me if I force/require to pay insurance for health from the university, birth control is about the health. I am not gay like you say, but if I pay insurance in my tuition, the birth control should be in the plan. I am not going to stop being together with my boyfriend. This is life, and healthy. I am not religious.
For this girl Sandra Flack, she is going to the religious university. So I assume she have religion, but she feel her religion is wrong about the birth control. She is talking about the (religion) dictate, not government. Look what she is saying.

Flack: "We expected that our schools would live up to the Jesuit creed of âcura personalisâ â to care for the whole person â by meeting all of our medical needs."

I wasn't implying you're gay, that's the point.

I've read her entire testimony. She's asking a religious organization to violate its 223 year old value system. She can go anywhere. She can go to Planned Parenthood and get a 3 year implant for $500. This BS about $3000 is what BC will end up costing once the government starts subsidizing it.

Access to BC is readily available to all. Her ability to pay for it is a completely different issue. Don't confuse the two.

Now, get Sandra's ass down to her local mosque to make these same arguments and see what happens. I'm guessing a public stoning.

No, she is asking the religious organization (not) violate their value system.

"What is Cura Personalis"

"The Catholic, Jesuit concept of cura personalis, which translates as care of the whole person, suggests individualized attention to the needs of others, distinct respect for unique circumstances and concerns, and an appropriate appreciation for singular gifts and insights. This ideal, the founding principle of Georgetown University Medical Center, has special resonance for the scientific and educational missions of the university."

Wow, thanks for the info, I didn't realize the church was against health insurance paying for contraceptives for over 200 years. I didn't even know there's been health insurance for that long. Great history lesson there OccupyThis.

What everyone seems to be missing is this. Health insurance should be for when you are really sick.

And preventative care also don't you think.

It's the liberals who don't understand the term "health insurance". They want it to be called "health free stuff paid for by someone else".

You're full of shit. Nobody's complaining about paying for health insurance, the complaint is being denied health coverage that is perfectly logical. If Viagra is covered. then there's no sane reason why contraception shouldn't be covered as well.

A mammogram is preventive. A prostate exam (and PSA) are preventive. Both are covered and focus on cancer.

Birth control may be seen as preventive but it's not preventive in terms of a potentially fatal disease.

The Georgetown law student CHOSE to go to a Catholic university. She's on a public interest scholarship and now wants $3000 for contraceptives. Take some personal responsibility -- buy them yourself. Have your partner wear a condom. Don't go through life expecting handouts every step of the way.

I've paid for 100% of my health care the past 16 years. I don't go around bitching about freebies and handouts.

Who is paying for the health insurance that Georgetown offers?

How about Georgetown simply pulls out health insurance as a benefit all together? Then what you and you're panties in a bunch gonna do?

Who you gonna cry to? Jesus?
