      I don't think anyone in this thread actually opposes the use of contraception. I just oppose using the machinery of government to get others to pay for what should be a personal expense. After all as Felch wisely said, no one needs to **** to live.

              No, I am not.

              What makes birth control a "routine expense"? What other commonly prescribed medications are "routine expenses" and should not be covered? What about childhood vaccines? Can't get any more routine than childhood vaccines.

                      I look forward to you keeping your gaping yap shut about homosexuality and gay marriage.

                      By the way, just because I don't have sex with woman (reproductive or otherwise) doesn't mean that I'm uninterested in human rights, contraception, birth control information, or population growth and poverty- to name just a few related issues.

                        • As usual, you would be wrong (on people not being vaccinated against it). I, for instance, am.

                          • Aren't all DoD personnel deployed to the middle east required to get it? Molly's google-fu is slipping.

                            • I thought the only known samples of variola left were in two vaults in the U.S. and Russia or something. Are those two labs actually churning out vaccines?

                              Anyway, plenty of meds are routine expenses. The montelukast I take to keep from hacking and wheezing at night, for example. As for birth control, even if you rule out all the non-contraceptive uses like PCOS, it sounds unreasonable to insist that people just cross their legs if they don't want to pay for it. We're not just talking about stereotypical notions of slutty sorority sisters here; plenty of faithfully married women with kids use the stuff. Not everyone's into condoms and natural family planning (or whatever you call it--it's actually pretty complicated stuff). Sleeping in bed with someone you love and not having sex with them doesn't sound like a particularly palatable, or even viable, course of action. I'm comfortable paying a little more to keep people from having unwanted kids. Or divorcing. Or aborting.

                              • You can make the vaccine without smallpox virus. I think they use cowpox. I don't recall why DoD personnel have to be vaccinated, but I suspect it's to eliminate the incentive to try to make a bioweapon.
