“Great minds have purposes; little minds have wishes. Little minds are subdued by misfortunes; great minds rise above them.” - Washington Irving

Insurance

I'm sick of hearing about the supposed "women's health" controversy. I don't want to pay for your contraception. I also don't want to pay for ANYONE'S "preventative care." I think that is fair. Insurance is for emergencies, period, and your yearly checkup is not an emergency. Birth control is not an emergency. Wanting to stomp out a helpless life is also NOT an emergency. (Well, not to the aggressors. It is rather important to the unborn baby.) And don't even spew that bilge about the "cost of un-wanted preganancies" - in that case, I'm absorbing costs on behalf of the babies who CAN'T fend for themselves. You CAN. Get over it.
