Dont want to get pregnant dont have sex.
When I read this post talking about the government possibly giving free contraceptives to women immediately did the "really face". http://politicalwallflower.blogspot.com/2012/03/issues-on.html . So let me get this strait , people sporting this idea want the US government to use there money on women who cant keep there pants on, pardon my enthusiasm but this shouldn't be even a discussion. Im all for experimenting and enjoying life but if you are not prepared don't be stupid. I understand there are many women who cannot afford these contraceptives but it doesn't mean the government should support your decisions. An example , lets say i love to backyard wrestle and i am consistently getting hurt , should the government pay for my pain pills ? The answer most people will say is no. So why should they pay for contraceptives for women who choose to have sex. Maybe instead of just paying for the contraceptives maybe put the money to schools and fund better teen pregnancy awareness. Seems like a much smarter idea.

Many fellow colleagues have posted on contraception and abortion. In Jakefeelgood’s blog he argues, “Don’t want to get pregnant don’t have sex”. I cannot agree with his comments, maybe because I am older and watch my taxes go up each year. I think my favorite comment is, “women who can’t keep their pants on,” I guess I am one of those women, who just cannot keep her pants on. I am married. Why should I have too? I can afford the cost of contraceptives, but those who cannot do you know who pays the price? You and I as taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteAnother comment Jake makes, “it doesn't mean the government should support your decisions.” The government is already supporting the decision. We do have welfare and an absorbent amount of children on the system. The system we pay for.
Jake gives an example, “let’s say I love to backyard wrestle and I am consistently getting hurt, should the government pay for my pain pills?” Actually, they will. Go to your Doctor tell him what happen and voila a prescription. For those who have health insurance can painfully say birth control is not free and neither will the prescription for attaining an injury for wrestling. Every paycheck they take out a ridiculous amount and cover very little.
In my previous article, I stated.
"Is the pill beneficial to women’s health?" These are some of the positive side effects as it “reduces excruciating menstrual cramps, offers some protection against pelvic inflammatory disease, which often leads to infertility when left untreated, acne reduction, decreases osteoporosis, decreases ectopic pregnancy , decreases cysts in the breasts and ovaries, reduction of anemia, decreases premenstrual symptoms, reduces headaches and depression. These all appear to be health issues.”
Jake isolates women, “So why should they pay for contraceptives for women who choose to have sex.” I did not realize women were the only ones involved in sex. It seems the argument made is that the government is only aiding women who are promiscuous. The argument is contraception, not only pills but also sterilization, free condoms, and later on the pill for men. Did you know that Viagra is covered? Contraceptives should not only be provided by women, but by both consenting adults.
I fully agree with Jakes comment, “Maybe instead of just paying for the contraceptives maybe put the money to schools and fund better teen pregnancy awareness. Seems like a much smarter idea.” As I stated in my article and still stand by---prevention…we need to stop the ignorance. Prevention today! On the other hand, would you rather pay for children that are not your own.
