What makes this more disgusting is the minority of commenters who agree with him, saying that they shouldn't have to pay for others' contraception, that women need to not have sex, and that contraception is not a matter of health care. Fuck. You. Guys. I'm getting sick of this stigma that female contraception is only used for sex, when it's not. There are health reasons that female contraception, specifically the pill, is used. My 13 year old sister may have to use the pill soon, due to an unhealthily long and heavy period that brings her blood-iron down to dangerously low levels. She's had to have liquid iron directly infused into her blood through a drip. I don't know if my mom's insurance covers it, considering she works at Catholic hospital. If this isn't corrected, whether by the stopping itself or stopping through the pill, then the only other option is to have her constantly injected and supplemented with iron. But I guess constant iron injections are better than the more obvious solution of controlling her period, especially since the solution could, horror of horrors, allow her to have sex freely when she's older! *screams in terror* If that did happen, then the pill working as a contraceptive would actually be a side effect of the pill, not the intent, since her taking it is for health reasons, not recreational reasons.
I think this goes back to a common pro-life argument: rape, incest, and health cases can't be considered because they're such a small percent of abortion, and most are done for convenience. They'd probably use the same argument here: more women use the pill to have sex than due to health issues, so those cases shouldn't be a serious consideration. Basically, they'd rather people who actually need it suffer, just so they can feel good about themselves for not having indirectly helped somebody else have sex outside of marriage or not for the purpose of procreation. It's funny how they whine about "socialists" and "libs" having entitlement issues, when a lot of their arguments sound like "Mine, mine, mine, ME, ME, ME! I don't want to!"
(And before anyone asks, no, doctors haven't figured out what's causing these long periods yet)
