re: #161 moderatelyradicalliberal

Isn’t comparing prenatal care to birth control a false equality? The former is a health issue with not one but another potential life at stake. The latter is …, well I’m unsure as to what it really is. Perhaps it’s similar to having my health insurance pay for pepto-bismal after I eat 5 alarm chili in order to prevent a perfection natural biological reaction to the ingestion of capsaicin. So now everyone on Charles’ list is going to go off on another flame. The only replies have essentially been that i am (1) an a***hole and that (2) I am going off on the lower classes.

Re: #1, I may be - I dunno.
Re: #2, What’s wrong with me writing that life is about choices and one has to make them? Well I guess that we can refer back to #1.

Nowhere in these replies have encountered a logical argument about what health insurance is supposed to cover. Well, perhaps I missed it. And I also wrote that I’m not against health insurance funded contraception as long is it pays for other services that I argue are equivalent.

So it seems, Charles, that there’s as much logic on one side as the other. And how does this help to heal this country if there’s no room for reasoned debate? Of course the contraception point of view from the right is just as emotional and there doesn’t seem to be any debating with them either.
