Lena Dunham: Losing Birth Control Could Mean a Life of Pain
NY Times ^ | June 9, 2017 | Lena Dunham

I was 12 the first time I felt the crippling cramps. I hadn’t yet gotten my period and was happily running around a state fair with my best friend, mouth full of cotton candy, when it hit me: a steady drum of pain beneath my pubic bone, a throbbing in my back that made its way down both my legs. I fell to the muddy ground. Suddenly the Ferris wheel was a nightmare, the carnival games distorted and unpleasant. I blacked out.

The hag is using the tangential argument many women rely on birth control for other medical reasons. She claims having the pay out of pocket for what now a generic is an undue burden.

I cannot stand this “actress”, however, I have always thought it the height of stupidity that insurance companies and government would’t provide free birth control pills just simply for economics. Is it cheaper to pay for pills or cheaper to pay for birthing costs and welfare to raise a child?

Finally, real news.

The news cycle has hit a flat spot whenever the pains of Lena Dunham have surfaced again.

Perhaps, the cause of her “pain” was a long look in the mirror.

Let’s just make everything anyone needs free for everyone. The only reason it’s not already is because mean people suck.

So, she wants perpetual sympathy, and never-ending freebies, because she’s a woman, and has periods?

Hey, lady...if it bothers you that much, have a hysdirectomy. We’re not responsible for your feelings, expenses, or your seeming hatred of having normal, and natural, body functions.

Because her actors’ union policy and sjitcom wealth cannot pay the cost.

Right.

Woe

Well said. I hadn’t come up, yet, with any response that wasn’t full of deleted expletives.

Why not just insist the boyfriend buys the condoms or after 2.5 children, the husband has the “snip, snip” process done? I fail to understand why government paying for birth control is this big feminist issue?

Welcome to FreeRepublic. We would the United States to return to a “free Republic” which means we need to restore liberty to all not take it away from some.

Nothing from Government is free.

Lena Who? Why should any of us care what this woman thinks? I’m surprised the Slimes didn’t ask for her “learned” opinion on the US being pulled out of the Paris Accord because we know a nobody actress’s opinion means everything.

No you are not new and but my post was to emphasize the purpose of this website which I assumed you may have never contemplated judging from the content of your post.

Notice in all of my posts not one single personal attack.
