obviously i've got no problem with contraception, and i'm pro-choice. but does anyone besides me find it disturbing that the admin, including obama, who's speaking right now, defines contraception as 'preventive care'? i don't think pregnancy is an illness, or that a fetus is analagous to a tumor, etc.

I have zero problem being honest. It's not even a matter of being pro-choice. I simply support the 'killing' of non-sentient life, and life without cognition.

Oh, come on, Crispin. "Preventive" as in preventing a pregnancy. Can't get any more preventive than that.

Let the mother control her womb. Let her kill her children at any point before their natural termination. They're her products. Hers. And hers alone. She dictates their fate. The Womb has spoken!

One great outcome of this debate has been that people now refer to the correct term, "preventive care", whereas people always used to say "preventative care", which drove me mad.

As in the 5th commandment, Every baby is equally the product of the Man who fertalized and the Woman who grew it. Equal DNA = equal rights. Just because the woman has to look fat for a few months doesn't mean she has ownership rights to the child the Father put 50% into. The power elite want as few living people as possible. That is why they created birth control, carpet bombing, bird flu, Tomahawk missles, atomic weapons, 9/11, a police state and their ultra stealth people destroyer: Feminism. Preventive care = preventive live voter.

I propose that we give Rick Santorum the worst case of menstrual cramps ever recorded.

It is preventive of higher costs---pregnancy, birth, and well baby care cost lots more than pills. But why do bc pills cost so much? They have been around so long they should cost as little as aspirin.

My wife and daughter take the pill to regulate there periods. Without it, they wouldn't get there periods for months, and then it would last weeks. That is preventative care. I think a fair percentage of women have this problem.
