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.”

Wow, I didn’t know Viagra caused human beings to die.
/sarc
I had to check if it was satire.
I was unaware Viagra killed children by design.
It’s all about sex to the DEms. sex sex sex...
“No one dies when Viagra is used.”
But golddiggers who married old men have to earn their money.
This is a major Democrat voter group.
Well, Viagra DOES fix something that’s not working.
Where as, birth control unfixes something that works just fine.
Bad analogy. If insurance wouldn’t pay for birth control but would pay for a vasectomy then she might have a better argument.
Who's going to complain about a 4 hour erection?
Well Viagra is used to restore a normal function. A normal function in young males who have spinal cord injury or other trauma or illness that leaves them with an inability to have an erection. It is not just for older guys where loss of/ or difficulty obtaining an erection is part of the aging process.
Dead meat? Great double entendre!
Rush Limbaugh is correct. These people are pig stupid.
No, she's very smart. But like her San Francisco colleague Pelosi, she's pure evil.
It is by most. But it has a very high co-pay and the number of pills they cover per month is only half a dozen or so.
Thank you....Thank you....And I’m a 70 year old grandma..
Is this satire? Even if, if, Viagra were a moral issue then the use of Viagra is designed to HELP deliver life....in a way of course.
Personally, if there was a drug that enabled women to have sex more often (as Viagra does for men), I’d not only mandate that insurance cover it, but probably demand that Uncle Sam provide free prescriptions at every 7-11.
“Viagara is a buck a pill and up.”
Try fifteen bucks a pill co-pay.
