What I want to know is why this is, or even should be, a partisan issue.
Your
daughter, an intelligent, articulate law student who's every parents' dream, has an opportunity to speak before an informally-convened Congressional committee. She gives a very informative narrative, and you're really quite proud of her.
Then, the next day, your daughter is villified on a radio show that purportedly has 12 million listeners. And the next day. And the next.
Why is this a partisan issue? I am gobsmacked that conservatives on this board have lined up against this young woman. Have damn near
applauded Rush Limbaugh for his disgraceful besmirching of this woman's name on national radio. If this isn't the most partisan bull**** I've ever seen on DP, I'll vote Democratic in the next election.
As to law students spending $3,000 on birth control? A law student is a student for
seven years. So do the math. And don't give me this crap that birth control is available for $4 a month. Even Planned Parenthood, per their website, says the cost is $15 to $50/month.
Birth Control Pills - Birth Control Pill - The Pill
If ya'll weren't just interested in playing the Gotcha' Game, you'd be honest enough to recognize that she made an
excellent case for birth control pills being covered by
all insurance companies (as mandated under Obamacare) because, in many cases, women need them for reasons beyond birth control.
If you can't see that...if you think it's just absolutely fine that Rush Limbaugh tried to make a fool of this woman...if you think his left-handed apology should be sufficient...if you think the Left are partisan hacks...well, I'd suggest ya'll take a good look into your bathroom mirrors.
