This is...Duncan, you're moving the goal posts. This is what you said: <i>Hm. If contraception has these other uses, maybe it should be called <br />something else? "Contraception" means "against conception." It does <br />not mean the use of estrogen for other purposes.</i><br /><br />So you're arguing that we should call contraception something else if it has other purposes, even if its primary purpose remains contraception. You also lump together barrier methods such as condoms and diaphragms with oral contraceptives and hormonal contraceptives delivered non-orally -- you know, the kind of contraception which requires a prescription and thus is the only type relevant to a discussion of insurance coverage of prescription medication -- possibly because you can't be arsed to care about it since it doesn't affect you or your health or your bodily autonomy. <br /><br />The point Fluke and others make is that regardless of your position on contraceptives qua contraceptives, prescription hormonal methods also treat a number of medical conditions such as the kind of ovarian cysts her friend had, which being left untreated due to not being covered by Georgetown's plan, resulted in the loss of her ovary and the diminishment of her fertility. The position of Georgetown and other Catholic-run institutions which do not have a primarily religious purpose is that allowing students to pay out of their own pockets for coverage of prescription medication which may be medically necessary to treat health-endangering conditions is an assault on their religious freedom. Yet these same institutions provide their employees, as part of their compensation package (and thus using institutional funds) with health insurance which covers prescription contraceptives for ANY purpose. Because they are required to by the laws of 28 states, including California and New York. Those laws only cover employee plans, however, and do not require student plans to follow the same rules -- even though the students pay 100% of the cost of their own health insurance and the employee plans are subsidized by the employer as part of their compensation package. <br /><br />http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/stories/2012/february/10/npr-contraception-rules-in-force-for-years.aspx<br /><br /><br />But thanks so much for mansplaining contraception to me.zuzunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-79476186158681056702012-11-29T18:15:02.963-05:002012-11-29T18:15:02.963-05:00Mr. Jimpjorps is my father.

You make a stupid, nonsensical initial point...Yeah. You make a stupid, nonsensical initial point about the "proper" labeling of contraceptives as if that's why abortion rights are under siege — but we're being dumb.<br /><br />Maybe you don't know what Fluke said in her testimony. She said that contraceptions and birth control were, in fact, a public health issue overall. She said <i>she</i> uses contraceptives and that they <i>also</i> have other uses. <br /><br />As far as the "no one stands up for contraception or fucking" line you seem to be taking, I must have been listening to an entirely different debate -- one where people said "of course women and men have sex and should use contraception, in fact, the reasons the insurance companies throw it in for practically nothing is that it saves them money." <br /><br />Moreover, your point about the RCC hierarchy is meaningless. Obviously there's nothing, at all, you are going to say to the Roman Catholic Church that will make any difference whether they would support contraception in any case. There are, however, plenty of other people who might like to know there are many different health care concerns addressed by contraception and that it should be available. The people who support family planning, sex ed and sexual health issues are already onboard -- other people have different motivations or need additional rationales to give their tacit support of the health benefits of contraceptives. <br /><br />And of course the Democrats missed a chance to be "better" on the abortion issue -- they are Democrats. But I'm not sure that they were trying to do anything but alert people in Missouri and Indiana who would be otherwise "pro-life" types that Murdock and Aikens were even too extreme for them. It was an electoral play in two Red states, not ripe ground to stand on the principle of choice.Jay B.noreply@blogger.com
