You don’t take birth control pills every time you have sex, but rather they are taken everyday.

Dude, I’m sure “Mr. Rogers” understands that just as probably does every FReeper. Since birth control pills can be had very cheaply (At Target for example one can get them for $9 for a 30 day supply or $24 for a 90 day supply [equivalent to an annual cost of $96]) Mr. Rogers was just questioning where the $1,000 annual cost that Ms Fluke floated would come from. If you take the $96 dollar annual cost of birth control pills you’re left with $904 of Ms Fluke’s annual cost to allocate. One likely possibility is $904 worth of condoms for the year -— a possibility ripe with the possibility of (perhaps twisted) humor. And that $904 “need” was the focus of Mr. Rogers comment. Nothing more. The possibility that any single female Georgetown law student would have such a need is mind boggling (at least in the post Bill Clinton law school days time frame).
True, but Rush was originally responding to news reports. The news reports said ‘birth control’ - and if I have to pay for the birth control, they can use condoms at 33 cents a pop. Unless, of course, it becomes more cost effective for her to use the $9/month birth control pills from Target.
But under no circumstance will I pay for her to use the $100/month name brand pills sold by her doctor. If I’m paying the bill, she can have sex cheap, or have it infrequently. That is what happens when someone asks me to pay for their sex - I get to determine when, where, & how.
