Barbara Boxer: Why no Viagra complaints? By: Tal Kopan March 25, 2014 11:28 AM EDT
As the Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday about the Obamacare mandate on birth control coverage, Sen. Barbara Boxer questioned why those up in arms about the requirement have no problem with most insurance covering Viagra.
“I have never heard Hobby Lobby or any other corporation, I could be wrong, or any other boss complain that Viagra is covered in many insurance plans, practically all of them, or other kinds of things, you know, for men, which I won’t go into,” Boxer said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Jansing & Co.”
The California Democrat was discussing the lawsuit before the Supreme Court Tuesday morning arguing that companies like Hobby Lobby, which brought the suit, shouldn’t have to provide for employees’ birth control because it violates their religious beliefs.
Host Chris Jansing pressed Boxer as to whether she could compare Viagra and birth control, saying Hobby Lobby and other advocates argue that birth control is a “life issue.”
“I have never heard them put any type of moral objection, remember, this is a moral objection, to men getting Viagra, but they have a moral objection to women getting certain types of birth control,” Boxer said. “What’s their next moral objection, do they then object to vaccinations? Where do you take it from here? … There has been a well-documented study by a university that gave women free birth control for several years. Abortions went down by 50 percent, Chris. So if you are for life and want to attack this issue for abortion, this is a place we could work together and reduce the number of abortions.”

The argument, Barbie, is NOT about “contraception” its about ABORTION.
Either:
1. This is all part of a republican “war on women” in which only men’s drugs are covered, or
2. The difference is that Viagra doesn’t kill innocent babies.
Only a low-information voter would have any trouble deciding which of the two is the problem.
Most people will agree and say no, this is not the same.
> That would be one very LARGE pill.
Maybe bottles ...: )
Viagra - treats a condition of something not working as intended
Birth control pills - takes something that is working as intended and inhibits it
I didn’ think Viagra was covered but I understand why straight liberal women would want it to be covered. The feminazi have abolutely no need or it unless they are having sex with a post op transgender bull dyke (say that fast 5 times)
The question is, “How STUPID is she?
aye
It creates a chemical environment that makes fertilization impossible. Fertilization can take place up to a day after intercourse. It uses a synthetic version of the same chemical reaction the ovum excretes after fertilization that prevents more than one sperm from fertilizing an egg.
So, they never get together.
They use this stuff in the ERs of Catholic hospitals for rape victims. My guess is that they have the ethics down pretty well.
“No one dies when Viagra is used.”
Nailed it!
Yep - and for the same reason. It kills people. More slowly than late term abortions, with more agony, over more years, but just as thoroughly.
Unless, of course, Boxer was mocking the very concept of people having moral objections at all.
In which case my moral objections start with this witch being in Congress.
No check that - they start with this bitch opening her filthy mouth.
Probably leaning way more toward the “Evil” side of the scale than to the “Stupid” side of the scale.
I remember at a previous job, myself and two guys were in charge of purchasing the employee healthcare plan. The topic of discussion was how many Viagra pills a month should the plan pay for. Needless to say it got interesting.
The Mrs... ;)
Actually, morning after pills do prevent implantation if fertilization has already occurred. In the drug information I read, this was mentioned as a secondary method of action that increased their effectiveness. As opposed to regular birth control pills where prevention of implantation is not consistent enough to be be relied upon as a backup.
Beleaguered, aging wife, “Oh, my God—they’ll give out six pills a month!”
Only GOD can answer that question, and GOD left California about 35 years ago.
“Well she has to use SOMETHING to get men interested in her...even then...”
Tying the pork chop around her neck so the dog would play with her didn’t work out so well for her.
