1. don’t lecture me about sitting in a welfare office. My mother is a welfare case worker & I work in a large pediatric hospital where I see neglect and abuse everyday. I also see almost 46% of my salary sucked off in federal, state, and local taxes before it even hits my bank account. Despite all that, I am still NOT going to advocate a Pill that allows one to engage in irresponsible behavior, has major side effects, drives up the cost of healthcare, correlates with an increase in STDs, breast cancer, and abortion, contaminates our environment, and is just all around immoral. If you are so intellectually dishonest & self-serving that you want to give an “ok” to it because it has allowed you to have fun, then that’s your problem not mine. Makes me suspect that you are a liberal
2. If you don’t equate the Pill with abortion, then perhaps you should educate yourself on how it works. So yes, smartass, I will question your intelligence.
allows one to engage in irresponsible behavior(removing condoms off the shelf doesn’t stop homosexuality), has major side effects(the patient and doctor can evaluate and make this decision), drives up the cost of healthcare(not sure the correlation here), correlates with an increase in STDs(I can go for that), breast cancer(I understand the risk), and abortion(the pill prevents pregnancy), contaminates our environment(not unless you dump them down the toilet).
And as far as your moral arguement, that’s your opinion. I am a welfare caseworker in Florida and I’m working on my MBA in Healthcare Administration. Don’t hurl your insults my way by insinuating I’m a liberal. Women have a choice in the medications they take. I am not morally superior to pass judgement on women that use these drugs perhaps to regulate their period or protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy.
I personally don’t want kids at this point in my life(I’m 40). If a woman is not on the pill I will use other methods of safety against pregnancy.
