#35: The doctor on the radio said that you needed a doctor’s perscription for birth control pills. I’ll take his word because I don’t know anything about the current procurement of BC pills. It makes sense because the woman might have a condition, unknown at the time, that would make it necessary for her to be under some kind of doctor’s guidance as to what pills she can take, or not.
I certainly wouldn’t take a pill that affected my innards without seeing a doctor first, and believe me, I’m on a couple that did/do just that.
Also, shouldn’t a woman get a physical checkup once a year anyway? Since most professional women (and this is one) have health insurance, what is the problem?
And if there are public service organizations that can get the pills for them, what is the problem?
Fluke is, as her background shows, a professional activist concerning sexual issues, so she shouldn’t be lying before Congress. It is called perjury (unless the Dems conveniently didn’t swear her in). I’ve given 4 congressional testimonies, under oath, so I know what I’m talking about.
When was the last time the House (or Senate) went after anybody for perjury?
You would think there aren’t enough jail cells on earth..
They do? They ought to consider themselves lucky, as millions of "non-professional" woman are not insured or have had their health insurance eliminated or reduced to near worthlessness.
The US has nonprescription items, like mild pain relievers and antihistamines and stomach remedies etc. but the [anti-ovulation] Pill isn’t one of them.
But seeing a nurse practitioner (the lowest level health professional that can prescribe medications not on the controlled narcotics lists) has got to cost less than $100 and he/she can write a prescription good for a year. If the Slut Fluke is seeing a doctor for some other reason, a prescription for the Pill can be tossed in too at little or no additional expense. This is not going to drive her contraceptive costs anywhere close to the $3000 she avers.
