Limbaugh: Women who want birth control should just stop having so much sex- Page 2

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 3/3/12 at 2:14am

All this vilification of Planned Parenthood and birth control and whatever other right-wing nonsense rears its ugly head this election year just makes me want to take the sedatives that were prescribed for my dog.

The only consolation I get is that at least it's not the gays who are the big villains this year, like we were in 2004.

"Why do I have to pay for Viagra? "

Viagra is a drug that addresses an actual clinical dysfunction of the human body. No one is saying women should be denied health coverage. No one is saying women should be denied contraception. Like I said before, this is all about WHO pays for it. The sexual activity being addressed is purely recreational; it is not related to a health issue.

"why should I pay for someone to have a baby ?"

Because pregnancy (the primary purpose of sexual intercourse) is an actual MEDICAL condition. Therefore MEDICAL insurance should cover it.

"And then pay for the baby for the next 18 years ?"

You shouldn't have to!

Like I predicted, Mikey can not/will not the answer the one question I ask. Does he agree with Limbaugh calling this girl a slut and asking her to post videos of her having sex online for his own "pleasure"? So, can we all assume Mikey thinks Rush was right for attacking this girl?

Why would anyone care or take seriously a defender of Rush Limbaugh.Mikey is yet another woman hater who wants special rules for him and then another set of rules for the 'gals' who know their place in this man's world.

Gee Mikey, it is no wonder you can't find a woman! Mikey and Rush just don't understand. They are to ignorant to know what birth control is and what it does.Rush think its like Viagra.He think anytime a woman wants sex she just takes the pill and that's it. Rush and Mikey don't understand that women take this pill everyday,even on the days they do not have sex. Read Mikey's post and watch this segment from Rachel' show. She explains better than I can but it is proof both these morons don't get it...........and Mikey is suppose to be a teacher. WOW! Mikey, I hope you don't have any daughters. God help them if you do.

"Why should my insurance premiums go up so that.."

EVERYONE is overlooking one important fact: insruance premiums go DOWN when contraception is covered. In addition to avoiding pregnancies, hormonal contraceptives DECREASE THE CHANCE OF SOME CANCERS. So, the argument that morons like Limbaugh are making has no merit.

That said, let's keep this 'issue' alive and well through November. It's a complete loser for the GOP, its fringe is too stupid to realize it, and what's left of its moderate wing is too afraid of the fringe to speak up (see: Snowe, Olympia).

Shhh madbrian. People like Mikey don't like facts. He just likes to shout RECREATIONAL SEX!!!

"Because pregnancy (the primary purpose of sexual intercourse) is an actual MEDICAL condition. Therefore MEDICAL insurance should cover it."

So if pregnancy is a medical condition, then contraception should be considered a preventative medicine and be covered by insurance. Sort of like covering colonoscopies to avoid colon cancer. Just following your logic here.

"And then pay for the baby for the next 18 years ?"

You shouldn't have to!"

But I will be paying for his/her medical insurance for the next 26 years. It's your kid - you pay for it.

Like I said before, this is all about WHO pays for it. The sexual activity being addressed is purely recreational; it is not related to a health issue.

Aren't a lot of people saying that women should be denied health covered by pulling funding from women's health clinics that serve low-income women who cannot otherwise afford care?

As for Viagra addressing an actual clinical dysfunction of the body: so does hormonal birth control. Some women take hormonal birth control because if they didn't they would have a period that lasts for weeks at a time. Some women take hormonal birth control because without it they have cramps for days and weeks that leave them unable to function. Some women (like Sandra Fluke's friend) take hormonal birth control because they have painful cysts that also make it difficult to function and, if left unchecked, could really wreak havoc on their reproductive system. Hormonal birth control helps millions of women function normally by keeping the discomfort and pain of hormonal swings at bay. And as ErikJ already pointed out, it's not as if the amount of HBC a woman takes has anything to do without how much sex she has and how many people she has sex with.


I don't know why I'm arguing with you about this.

Who paid for all those thousands of prescriptions that Limbaugh himself was abusing, during his Junkie Period?

I want to eat healthier foods in order to avoid gaining weight, diabetes, clogged arteries and all the other health issues associated with unhealthy diets. Shouldn't health food be covered by my insurance? I am buying all this healthy food in order to PREVENT other serious medical conditions. And I NEED food to survive. No one NEEDS contraception in order to survive.

Just following your logic here.

So we should only pay for medical conditions that could kill you ? Then we should not pay for physical therapy or knee and hip replacement or sprains and broken bones. You can survive with those. Why should I pay to replace someone's knee ?

Yes, we knew that Republicans are against gay sex. Now we know that they are against straight sex as well.

Yep. And you better not have acquired it via anything recreational. If the GOP health committee finds out you messed up that elbow playing tennis, or that shoulder playing golf . . .

We can safely assume Mikey is a little Dittohead. Agrees with Limbaugh one hundred percent. Mikey, if you have a daughter I pray for her. I really do.

If he he has a daughter I can guarantee you she'll need a punch card from the abortion clinic with all the procedures a rebellious little skank like that is going to rack up.

"Viagra is a drug that addresses an actual clinical dysfunction of the human body."

It's called a limp dick. It's not life threatening, painful or in any other way a bother. It’s God’s way of telling you that you shouldn’t be pro-creating anyway.

I’ve always thought, “If Viagra is being used by as many men as they claim use it, I have to ask, ‘Why aren’t you guys attracted to your wives any more?’”

Things must be getting pretty bad. This must have really hurt him. Of course, we all know he does not mean one word of this.This really should not change a thing.

http://www.mediaite.com/online/rush-limbaugh-apologizes-for-calling-sandra-fluke-a-%E2%80%98slut%E2%80%99/

Basically, he is sorry all you feminazi's and liberals were offended and feels bad you have no sense of humor.He is sorry all of you had to go after his sponsors and complain and make such a big deal over him calling women sluts.SO yeah,a fake apology. he did for one reason and one reason only. Pressure. His sponsors were dropping like flies.He will say what he has to in order to save that fat ass of his.

Bill Maher is hardly better than Limbaugh. He's the same brand of smug, self-adoring entertainer, he's just on the flip side of the political spectrum. Saying that he can throw around gendered insults of female politicians (whose politics, trust me, I also wildly disagree with) because he "doesn't have sponsors" is pretty disgusting. Neither side does themselves a service by supporting these kinds of commentators who serve the lowest common denominator and then hide behind the veil of "entertainment" and "comedy."
