keeping legs crossed = FREE

“Students” need a taste of real life, and need to get used to the idea that if you want something you have to PAY FOR IT!

[Carpe Cerevisi]

Boo hoo! Try cutting back on the alcohol consumption and God forbid, try a little self control.

“We’re working hard to pressure Congress to keep costs affordable.”

No $$ left for books... !

“When you look at the data of the termination of pregnancies, this is money well spent,” he said. “The cost of terminating pregnancies or the cost of an unwanted child to society is much higher.”

The most tragic thing about abortion is that it cost money?

[traumer]

The cost of an anchor babies to society is much higher

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Perhaps they should spend the money on books...and hold them between their knees.

What about married students? Are they supposed to keep their legs crossed, too?

[AppyPappy]

I can’t stop weeping for them.

Since you and I well know this is not about married couples (who are a vanishingly small percentage of the overall group) can we at least agree to keep the straw men stashed in the closet?

No, but why should I pay for it?

Maybe they could quit drinking or using drugs to save money for birth control pills.

[Always Right]

If they didn’t want kids, they can always splurge for a 50 cent condom.

A simple and profound truth!

I sometimes suspect these people have no souls. The most charitable explanation I can offer is that they have deluded themselves into believing that a human embryo is only a living being if it is wanted. The idea that one can change the nature of reality solely by willpower is an ancient, and in this case, tragic form of hubris.

I brought that up because my very limited experience with the CSU health centers was as a young married woman, and I used the clinics to get birth control pills, among other things. And it wasn’t “free.” Part of the mandatory fees we paid to be students were fees for the health center, with included prescription drugs. So the students are already paying for these services, whether they use them or not.

They got married, decided they didn't want to have kids, and now can't pony up the extra $15/month for birth control?

You're right!

Government MUST intervene somehow!

(No mystery how it's McCain vs. Romney for the REPUBLICAN nomination.)

Tell them to go to Sam's Club (and presumably Walmart). They are cheaper than the school's subsidy rate.

Walking through Sam's the other day, I noticed a sign announcing the generic versions of the two most popular are now a fraction of what my wife paid each month for the seven years we were married without children. In the five years since, we've found that two small children are largely as effective...
