Why some Philly women are clamoring for contraception before Inauguration Day

Why some Philly women are clamoring for contraception before Inauguration Day by Sarah Horvath, M.D. Twitter icon @phillyhealthsci

“As long as it’s before the inauguration.”

“Anytime before the new Congress takes over.”

“Before Obama leaves office…”

Women are frantically calling our Philadelphia contraceptive clinic to get their IUDs, implants and sterilizations before Jan. 20. It used to be that women scheduled contraception around life events – weddings, desired number of children, education and career goals. Now they are scheduling appointments around the congressional calendar. They fear that a new administration will take away their contraceptive coverage. And for good reason.

Contraception is used by 99 percent of women in the U.S. at some point in their reproductive lives, regardless of race, religion or state of residence. Use of contraception allowed women to participate more fully in the workforce and to plan their families. Since the passage of the contraceptive mandate in 2011 as an essential health benefit in the Affordable Care Act (the ACA or “Obamacare”), women have had the opportunity to choose the type of birth control that was best for them without having to consider cost. However, the Republican-controlled Congress has made the repeal of the ACA a priority during the next few weeks. While that law may be phased out over a period of years, the contraceptive mandate risks being repealed much sooner – and that is bad for everyone.

... I mean yes it’s not consistent with Christian morality, but again we’re not ordering anybody to be Christians, either. They almost seem to be acting like they need a dispensation from Congress, not just for the silly things to be in drugstores.

They’re afraid that Christians will force them to be Christians too at gunpoint, or something like that.

Christians won’t. However they will insist that those who want this, do it on their own dime.

If car insurance was like health insurance, it would cover oil changes and brake jobs.

Sheesh.

They’d want the insurance to buy bumper bras for them.

With all due respect, I think an exception must be made for these Philly Women. And women like them.

They should be allowed free sterilizations from now on. Is voluntary eugenicide a bad thing?

More proof that fake news does influence people. Dems and MSM need to stop terrifying their idiots with their fake news (and lies) about what republicans are going to do.

as an essential health benefit in the Affordable Care Act (. . . or “Obamacare”), women have had the opportunity to choose the type of birth control that was best for them without having to consider cost. However, the Republican-controlled Congress has made the repeal of the ACA a priority during the next few weeks. While that law may be phased out over a period of years, the contraceptive mandate risks being repealed much sooner – and that is bad for everyone.

So, taxpayer funded abortions and sterilization were mandated by an amendment to Obamacare. Women can choose to abort or sterilize any way they want, no matter how expensive, and we get to pay for it. Phasing out that taxpayer freebie is "bad for everyone," evidently including tax payers and murdered babies.

So the writer of this piece of cr*p shifts from "some women" to "everyone" without apparently noticing the difference. I don't think aborted babies or decent taxpayers appreciate this particular Obamagift.

Let the one with no sin cast the first stone.

We shouldn’t be giving any moral support to the Margaret Sanger eugenicist roots of Planned Parenthood, who hoped to sweet talk undesirables into just this kind of thing, because she believed that genetics froze people into their fate. That tends to be untrue. The kind of society with which people interact as they grow up tends to have the biggest impact. That’s what makes ghetto, ghetto.

I guess keeping their knees together with men who are not their husbands is just too tough.
