Planned Parenthood Associations (PPA) political action committee released a new TV ad slamming presidential candidate Senator McCain for his opposition to abortion and his indifference to insurers covering erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra.
The charge of indifference was leveled after McCain admitted a lack of expertise on the topic. I dont know enough about it to give you an informed answer, McCain replied when asked whether it was fair for insurers to pay for Viagra. I guess that would be something for the insurers and their customers to work out on their own.
The indifference, the ignorance, its astounding, exclaimed PPAs Etta Young. In essence hes saying that it is okay for Viagra-stoked geezers to impregnate young women, but not for the women to get abortions. As he sees it, the decision on what insurance should cover is a matter for negotiation between the parties involved. Is this the kind of man we want to be our next president?

Right answer.
i would be worried if that was what he was an “expert” on
i’d rather have a president that looks at the big picture
How come their “guy” gets to go to Iraq and receive a primer on Mideast History, War and Peace, and utter totally ridiculous statements, and our guy gets crucified for stating he has an indifference to Viagra.
The left has gone stark raving mad I tell you.
Somebody add this to the Liberal Dictionary.
Liberal Definition of Indifference = In essence saying that it is okay for Viagra-stoked geezers to impregnate young women, but not for the women to get abortions.”
I’m not a McCain fan, but I find it refreshing when a politician is willing to say that he is unable to give an informed answer on peripheral aspects/details of an issue.
You are focusing on moral issues, insurance companies don't care about that. The reason one is covered and the other isn't is that one is a medical problem and the other is a choice, that's why they call it PRO-CHOICE. If you choose to murder your unborn child then don't treat it like a medical condition and expect insurance to cover it.
Yes, it was the right answer. And the fact that this right answer equals ‘indifference’ to PP is not surprising since it isn’t the answer they want to hear.
They think there’s nothing wrong with FORCING businesses to have to provide things they normally wouldn’t, or that customer demand hasn’t already made them decide to have as an option.
