Boohoohoo, cry me a f***ing river. Can't afford something? Get a job. The culture of ME ME ME in this country is out of control. You will get exactly 0% sympathy from me about a law student crying she can't afford contraception and taxpayer must pay it. You know what happened when I wanted something in my 20's or 30's? I got a job. You know what happened when that job wasn't enough? I got a second full time job.
Yeah, because working 100+ hours is just
so conducive to effective study at university level.
On the other side of the scale, which, I'm not sure if it was you dammy or metalman who brought it up, but it seems as though there are moves to improve things for men also in terms of various coverage issues that was
inspired by the legislation for women.
I look forward to a previously unknown level of deafening silence about this from the far right in general.
Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say this was about mandating usage.
You have, several times on other threads. Deliberately conflating the two issues, hell in this very thread you said:
when government mandates all young girls have their tubes tied and people like me complain.
Once again, throwing in that very strawman. I believe fluffy told you off about it last time.
Why would I care what the {bleep} fundamentalists think? This has nothing to do with my nonexistent religious beliefs
Fundamentalism isn't limited to religion and that line wasn't aimed at you.
and everything to do with my belief in the Constitution. The Constitution does not give the Federal Government authority to take money out my bank account, food out of my children's mouth, so some snot-nose law student can get free birth control of their choice instead of having to, you know, actually get a job?
And there we are, the truth at last.
What was it you said earlier? Ah yes:
The culture of ME ME ME in this country is out of control. You will get exactly 0% sympathy from me
It used to be called social responsibility, ie those who have provide for those who have not, although I suppose given that it has the word social in it, it got thrown away as communist post McCarthy. Those "snot nose law students" then go on to pay more tax, reducing your burden down the line instead of raising families from a very young age that would almost certainly require welfare and condemn their children to much the same.
As much as I dislike the phrase in general, you have to look at the long game on these sorts of issues, not easy when you're in the trenches I know (boy do I know), but seriously, give it a crack.
As I said to you earlier, you can either pay a little now and reap the benefits further down the line, or pay a great deal more later.
Your call.
