I Certainly Don’t Wanna Discuss that Issue–Birth Control or Women

Started by menstrualpoetry · 10 months ago

McCain was recently answering questions when something he hadn’t expected happened–Someone asked about the fact that many health care providers will cover Viagra but refuse to cover birth control. Apparently a man’s ability to get it up and have sex is great, j ... Continue reading »

    I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. It seems more and more obvious to me every day men continue to run this country and until women speak up more it's never going to change. It is 2008 people, not 1958!

    Yep its 2008 :) I also think that John McCain really had absolutely no idea how he voted.

    No, see, we just don't get the humor! Cause we're humorless females. The fact that he hasn't given any thought to the rights of 51% of the population is hilarious! His giggling like a middle-schooler on a whip-it binge is perfectly understandable. Uppity bitches just gotta get over themselves and they'd see- it's funny!

    Hm, yeah McCain showed his "intelligence". I think he need someone to help him get an opinion on this issue...

    Why is it so hard for McCain to accept birth control?

    Ugh - that is appalling! Not that I cared much for McCain to begin with, but this definitely makes it clear that this is NOT the man who should be running our country!

    I cannot believe that people actually want to vote for that man even though he knows nothing about the issues. He constantly 'cannot 'remember his voting record and always gets off track of the original question. What an idiot.

    If there wasn't birth control then there would be a heck of a lot more abortions.

    Isn't it surprising that this guy gets votes? This just tells you how many Americans think the same way he does. Shouldn't we go forward, not backwards in time?

    Wow, this is retarded. I don't get the big issue with birth control. It should be a good thing. The less unplanned pregnancies the better. People who have kids and aren't planning for it a lot of times aren't ready to cope with the responsibilities of being a parent. We need responsible parents if our society is going to move forward. Not to mention birth control helps keep the population in check. The earth only has so much room.

    If there wasn’t birth control then the abortion rate increases.

    Its better to control birth then abortion. Abortion is killing a life. Every life on earth counts.

    So, the next time you see a spider, wasp, mosquito, mouse, rat, cockroach, bat, and so on, you're going to capture it and bring it safely outside to resume its life? Or does every life on Earth count in favor of the cute and cuddly only?

    Wow. This is definitely a touchy issue, but I think everyone here agrees. He shouldn't be the one saying what is or isn't right for each individual woman. And like Nintend Wii For Sale said, if women didn't have a right to take birth control, there would be a lot more pregnancies, which would lead to abortions. Sad part is there would be a lot of teen pregnancies also.
