Using these medications to heal bleeding or serious medical problems is another matter altogether, having nothing to do with contraception. The whole matter of premiums could easily be settled without ruffling feathers, but for some strange reason the HHS has chosen not to.


First of all, the same good old birth control pills that are nothing more than female hormones are used to treat ovaries' cysts, prevent ovarian cancer, heavy and irregular menstruation, etc. So basically if you use this medication, you are on contraceptives. There's no other way to put this.

Did you watch Rumble 2012? He said: "Sandra Fluke, buy your own birth control, we shouldn't pay for it, like many other things, that's why we've such massive debt."



And here is what Jon said in reply: "A good portion of this country has created an alternate universe in which the issues that we face revolve around a woman from Georgetown who wanted birth control, which is a health issue for women, covered on her health insurance in the same way that Viagra is covered. I call this alternate reality, this place where these people live, Bullshit Mountain."
