Barbara Boxer: Why no Viagra complaints? By: Tal Kopan March 25, 2014 11:28 AM EDT
As the Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday about the Obamacare mandate on birth control coverage, Sen. Barbara Boxer questioned why those up in arms about the requirement have no problem with most insurance covering Viagra.
“I have never heard Hobby Lobby or any other corporation, I could be wrong, or any other boss complain that Viagra is covered in many insurance plans, practically all of them, or other kinds of things, you know, for men, which I won’t go into,” Boxer said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Jansing & Co.”
The California Democrat was discussing the lawsuit before the Supreme Court Tuesday morning arguing that companies like Hobby Lobby, which brought the suit, shouldn’t have to provide for employees’ birth control because it violates their religious beliefs.
Host Chris Jansing pressed Boxer as to whether she could compare Viagra and birth control, saying Hobby Lobby and other advocates argue that birth control is a “life issue.”
“I have never heard them put any type of moral objection, remember, this is a moral objection, to men getting Viagra, but they have a moral objection to women getting certain types of birth control,” Boxer said. “What’s their next moral objection, do they then object to vaccinations? Where do you take it from here? … There has been a well-documented study by a university that gave women free birth control for several years. Abortions went down by 50 percent, Chris. So if you are for life and want to attack this issue for abortion, this is a place we could work together and reduce the number of abortions.”

“Who’s going to complain about a 4 hour erection? “
There is a wife joke here. I am just not going to go there for my own safety.

Boxer you ignorant slut.
One is for something that ain’t working and the other is for something that is working too well.
Fair enough.
They key with them being “morning after” is there is a reasonable, statistical assumption that if used properly, they are contraceptive and not abortive.
My wife works at a catholic health system. She has to know this stuff up and down as she often is involved in the ethics discussions dealing with Romneycare here in MA. If it’s good enough for the “Sisters” in charge....
Viagra is an abortofacient? Who knew?
Have a Viagra erection that last longer than four hours? Don’t call your doctor, just look at a picture of Barbara Boxer!
Problem solved.
I guess it depends on your idea of reasonable. I don’t know the exact statistics, but the literature states that the drugs ‘also’ prevent implantation, so if there is a failure to prevent fertilization they are likely to prevent implantation. Unlike OCPs where if they don’t prevent ovulation it is much less likely implantation will fail. (I have met quite a few “pill babies :) ).
This is not to say that you are not correct in their primary effect being contraceptive, just that many women don’t realize that abortion is a possibility. Is it 50%, 30% 10%? I don’t know for sure, but anyone taking them should be informed, and that risk was too high for me to prescribe them when prescriptions were necessary, although I would prescribe OCPs.
