Nothing says "strong, independent woman"..
..like wearing a vagina hat and demanding someone else pay for your birth control..
And why is birth control anybody's business but your own? If you can't afford birth control, you really, really, shouldn't be having sex. In case you haven't read the box, it's only 99% effective.. Just saying'...
And.. be careful what you wish for.. A government that can decide who gets birth control is a government that may just as easily decide who *needs* to take it.. Or who is sponge-worthy, as they joked about on Seinfeld.
The whole issue reminds me another false narrative that was put forward in Ashley Judd's "Nasty Woman" rant, where she essentially said if "they" pay for Viagra, "they" should pay for birth control..
I suppose there *are* some men who qualify for free Viagra through some Federal program. But I am equally sure there are just as many programs where women can get free birth control - with the same kinds of strings and qualifiers attached. But if you want free stuff, there are always going to be hoops to jump through, and a master to serve.
Because one of the immutable facts of the universe is "There ain't no free lunch. Period." And there ain't no free birth control (or Viagra) either..
