I can see the problem with where Rush went politically ,
Republican are having a hell of a time getting traction on the theme that this is about Religious freedom. Dems claim it is about women's health, which in many cases birth control pills are.
But also in today's modern culture of “My sexual activity is my business, but my health care bills are your responsibility”, women's ability to have sex without pregnancy is equated to their health. And Rush goes out and attacks her jokingly on an assumed sexual activity of hers, wrt to free birth control pills.
In this insane world homosexuals have the right to sexual freedom, but we are responsible for the bills.
BTW Don't smoke because that's a public health issue if you do,
Making this debate part of sex-birth also brings up the practical issue, if women use birth control when they don’t want to have babies then there are less abortions and less welfare(and less child support orders). That is probably the reason why a debate on BC mandates cant be won. It cant be won on a cost argument.
