Reply #48: Chattel vs Viagra [View All]

[PDX Bara]

Back to the days of "Women as chattel." Heaven forbid that men would be denied their god given right to screw their brains loose but it's O. K. to deny women any right or means to protect themselves from any kind of enslavement, including that caused by an unwanted pregnancy. When working in the health insurance industry, it aggravated me to no end to have to approve benefit payment for Viagra but deny payment for birth control pills unless documented up the kazoo for use for another reason (i.e. certain kinds of acne). I do not understand the workings of the mind of a Republican woman other than to think part of it is missing.

On edit, forgot to mention that it seems that those who would deny a woman the right to seek a means of preventing or ending an unintended or unwanted pregnancy often are the very same ones who are also against any social or other programs that would help in such instances.
