I still don’t get what you are arguing about. The issue is not a winner for us. Even if it could be, far too many Republicans (think Akin and Mourdoch types) have no clue how to talk about these things without alienating huge swaths of voters. Either way, why not get government out of it and let birth control pills be sold ‘over the counter’. The less government regulates the better. We should be advocating for government to allow many if not most pharmaceuticals to be ‘over the counter’ anyway.
Jindal’s proposal does not enable government healthcare. It gets government OUT of regulating how people acquire birth control pills.
Oh, well. We’ve gone round and round about this. I think I have been clear enough. I think you have.
Over-the-counter or by-prescription should have nothing to do with politics. It is medical. For elective things like BC it has moral and other issues.
Obamacare makes medicine political. I think Sandra Fluke was a disaster for the Democrats as a poster-child for government involvement in sexual medicine. She sucks, and she’s ugly. She makes the issue ugly. She makes the Catholics look reasonable, by just defending what they believe.
You never answered my assertion that this is not the end, but just the beginning of what will be demanded as “healthcare” under Obamacare. This “over-the-counter” strategy won’t work to keep public money from being used to murder babies in the womb, or perform surgery to sexually mutilate people.
This isn’t a solution. It’s a dead-end. By trying to end the debate it validates Obamacare and invites the escalation.
