Looks like Rush Limbaugh was right about these women — $18,000 for birth control? My spouse, sounding for all the world like Karl Rove, used figures and charts to show me that you could have protected sex 3 times a day for less than $900 a year. So what is this $18,000? Just another lie.
When does Sandra the Slut have time to study or practice law?
“...used figures and charts to show me that you could have protected sex 3 times a day for less than $900 a year.”
Figures and charts? I would ask for a more scientific experiment. Like go for a month and multiply the results by 12!
“So what is this $18,000?”
Well, let me do a little math. Maybe the little lady wants to be extra, extra, extra safe. She gets a very expensive tubal ligation for $6,000. Then, she gets the birth control implant for $800. She’s still not feeling safe enough, so she gets the pill for $10 a month. All of that adds up to $6,920 for the first year. So, she’s got 11,080 left for condoms. Say she splurges and buys some premium ones that cost 2 bucks each. She would need to have sex 5,540 times, or 15.18 times per day in order to make up the rest of the cost with condoms. Basically, she would need to be having sex every waking hour of the day.
