Typical. They donât want to do shit nor are they interested in protecting women. So much for their claim of government coming between you and your healthcare. In this case the GOP is fine with the bosses doing so.

Demonstrating yet again that Republicans have this absolute craving to control every ladyâs âlady bitsâ, they just canât help themselves. I guess it goes back to their repressed and juvenile views on sex, sexuality and the rolls of women in modern society. The party has some real psychological âISSUESâ and needs to see a psychiatrist. Sure seems to me that they could use some industrial strength dosages of Xanax or Prozac.

A woman can still buy contraception on her own, thatâs true. Itâs also true that Hobby Lobby can eat a bag of dicks on its own. Itâs a free country, after all.

âSymbolic legislation offered in response by [Repubs] would affirm that a woman can still buy contraception on her own.â
Really? That is their response legislation? Good God. Of course women can buy it on their own, even for valid medical conditions, if they can afford it. If they canât, tough luck, says the Repubs.

You miss the point. The Republicans are throwing women a bone by not demanding that contraception be removed from the market.

is there anything new here really?
i am disgusted by the turn this country has taken and the GOP/Tea Party who have completely disregarded the basic equality principles and separation of church and state which were part of the basis for the founding of our country.
They are completely determined to override the principles upon which this nation was founded in turning into a corporate oligarchy with an established state religion entitled to discriminate against all that donât follow their rigid and immoral paths!

H e l l o ⌠Anyone can still buy anything without insurance coverage. That is not the point!! The point is that women who take the pill-- for contraception or any other reason-- are taking hormones. That means they need annual exams to go with their prescriptions. Sure they can pay for all of that out of pocket. They could pay for their breast cancer treatments out of pocket as well. And men could pay for their prostate cancer treatment out of pocket as well.
Wouldnât you think that the men and women behind the meme that Walmart sells âthe pillâ for $9.99 a month would have some sexually active or otherwise âpill-dependentâ women in their lives to help educate them about the medical aspect of taking hormones? Their heads are in some other universe.

â[A] woman can still buy contraception on her ownâŚ.â
She can buy chemotherapy on her own, too. Also mastectomies, hysterectomies, prescription drugs, physical therapy, or even heart surgery.
But the whole point of health insurance is so that you donât have to buy these things on your own.
See, this is why you should never vote Republican: because they donât even understand simple concepts like insurance.

Reid should bring this up over and over. Force GOP senators to vote against women many times between now and November. I think that some of the people up for election this year might well come around.

I wish reporters would stop calling it cost-free contraceptive coverage. Itâs no-copay contraceptive coverageâas are other kinds of preventive care.

âŚand Democrats on the teevee should be screaming about this and using controversial language to ensure coverage and panel discussions.
