Hello Tim,

 TR>>> Some idiot leftist babe who was in college at the time (law
 TR> school, no
 >> less)
 TR>>> testified in front of a Congressional committee in favor of birth
 TR>>> control being paid for by taxpayers (something to do with the
 TR> Obamacare
 TR>>> thing in progress at the time).

 >> Birth control is expensive, if having to pay out of pocket.

 TR> 1. Back when she testified over-the-counter birth control was *average*...
 TR> $8.00.

Mother Jones has an online calulator to figure the costs of
birth control for women, given in 2013.  Here are the results
for a woman, age 18, insured, and uninsured, various methods,
to menopause at age 51 -

The Pill
- uninsured $66,644 (12 refills & 1 doctor's visit per year)
- insured $11,842 (12 refills & 1 doctor's visit per year)

IUDs
- uninsured $8,178
- insured $4,089
(What it covers - doctor's visits, device, insertion, & follow-up
care, every 7.5 years)

Implanon
- uninsured $19,601
- insured $8,910
(What it covers - doctor's visit, device, insertion, & removal,
every 3 years)

Injections
- uninsured $32,496
- insured $10,740
(What it covers - doctor's visit, follow-up care, & 4 injections,
every year)

Birth control patch
- uninsured $66,644
- insured $11,842
(What it covers - doctor's visit, & an annual supply of patches,
every year)

Vaginal ring
- uninsured $66,644
- insured $11,842
(What it covers - doctor's visit & an annual supply of rings,
every year)

Surgical sterilization
- uninsured $6,000
- insured $1,500
(What it covers - doctor's visits, surgery & follow-up care, one
time cost)

Note: assumes a 3 percent annual inflation rate & menopause at age 51

Any questions?

 TR>>> She `claimed' (and I was watching the hearing on CNN at the time) to
 TR>>> have over 300 sex partners per year! And she was adamant that
 TR>>> *taxpayer-paid* insurance should pay for both HER birth control AND
 TR>>> abortion, should she need one.

 >> Sounds reasonable.  Access to quality healthcare is the first of
 >> all human rights.

 TR> The term: "quality healthcare" applied to women, and involving places like
 TR> Planned Parenthood, is an acronym for `abortion'.

The term "quality healthcare" is applied to men, women and children.

 TR>>> a nymphomaniac (in which case she needs a psychiatrist!) it's
 >> unlikely
 TR>>> she actually has `over 300 sex partners a year'.

 >> Prostitution is legal in Nevada (outside of Las Vegas).

 TR> she wasn't a `prostitute' nor testifying AS one. She was a law student at
a
 TR> Catholic university, which have strict mores on pre-marital sex activity.

All women should have access to quality healthcare, regardless
of what school they are attending, or not attending.

 >> The cost of birth control is very expensive, especially for women,

 TR> The "cost" of over-the-counter birth control at the time she testified was
 TR> (average) $8.00! for a woman!

Do the math.  I posted it online.  Quite easy to calculate.
