Sex-Crazed Co-eds Going Broke Buying Birth Control

[Hosakawa Tito]

Student Tells Pelosi Hearing Touting Freebie Mandate. I don't know how anyone kept a straight face, but it sounds like a Hustler Magazine story. I suggest you young men head over to GeorgeTown with a pocketfull of birth control pills and help these ladies out.

Free birth control....nay sez I.

[a completely inoffensive name]

So you would rather have pregnant teenagers?

[CBR]

Sounds like the male law school students need Viagra to keep it up.

[Montmorency]

I know I would.

No, but seriously, whatever it takes to stop the high schoolers from going on and on to each other on the metro about how so-and-so got so-and-so 1 and so-and-so 2 and so-and-so 3 pregnant recently, but so-and-so 3 isn't as mad because she's further along and I wonder what it would be like to get knocked up, and that US History class is so boring, or World History what ever I can't believe I have to study for these stupid regents.

...

*ahem*

Oh that is such crap Acin you know better.

My ex comes from a wealthy family from Orange County and she has birth control. She got her birth control for free from planned parenthood. Hell she got free doctors appointments with is suppose whatever passes for a gynecologist a few times I went in with her.

You know damn well condoms and Birth control are easy as hell to get. Abortions are even frighteningly cheap.

Morning After Pill is fifty a pop. And you know what there is no real reason you should ever use that. I know couples who used condoms and birth control. Before my ex got birth control I used the pull out method (stupid I know, blah blah blah) and only ought it once and I wasn't even sure if I needed to; something just felt wrong about it that time.

No matter how cheap you make birth control, people are cheaper.

I went clam digging with one of my uncles a few years back. I spent two hours out in the water with him digging up clams. Got over a dozen. I was very excited to cook them and eat them. My uncle told me that because we didn't catch enough to feed everyone he would keep the clams in the freezer until we had enough. My family left before we could find time to go get some more clams and he knew that would happen. He stole a dozen clams from a 14 year old so he didn't have to pay for them at the market.

Teenagers are stupid. I'm stupid and I'm 19. But they are even more stupid than I am. They will have sex, you can't stop them and if for whatever reason they feel that they can't protect themselves, then we need to make sure the nation does not turn out like Montmorency's high school, where people like Mont are pregnating everyone.

The flaw in your argument, which is factually sound, is that you assume the actors in this are rational.

I don't see a problem with this

I think you are mostly right (mostly), but this doesn't have anything to do with the issue at hand. The woman talked about in the article claims that birth control costs thousands of dollars a year and so it needs to be covered by insurance. This doesn't have anything to do with horny highschoolers and whether or not they should have easy access to contraception.

Of course not. I just expect for them to pay for their own recreation.

My friend, public transportation is not a service provided solely to myself and my acquaintances.

Some teenagers don't use contraception as often as they should because it is "too expensive". Now, let's be clear. The generic pill is in fact very cheap. Like $10 a month. However, some women might have medical reasons that prevent them from using the generic formula/pill and thus need to rely on more expensive alternatives like those vaginal rings which I think can cost over $60-$80 a month.

That being said, it still shouldn't come out to thousands of dollars if I do my math correctly.

Of course not. I just expect for them to pay for their own recreation.

You expect young people to pay for their own stuff? Let them screw all day on free birth control and draw the line somewhere else that doesn't risk unwanted children being born.

With the pill, no it shouldn't. But if these ladies are having relations 2-3 times a day, chances are condoms are the better choice. Warding off pregnancy is one thing, but preventing a major STD epidemic is the main goal here.

This is what happens when an unsubstantiated argument is presented by someone, it is dropped and replaced when someone else points out how flawed it is.

Someones mad.

One argument in this thread:

- find common points of agreement
- explore the nuances in each others points
- acknowledge where their arguments are coming from
- apologise for any harsh words
