OK. So, here I am, trying to pay my taxes and live right, and up comes the impertinant insurance company not paying for my fertility crap. Then I go to the Dr. and he says, start taking birth control again for a few months and we'll try it again. There's a new study that says it works. So I go to Wal-Mart and it takes the morons there (who supposedly have a degree in this shit) ONE WHOLE HOUR to take a blister pack of pills and put in a paper sack for me. I believe this is a conspiracy to convince me to spend $50 on other things in Wal-Mart I didn't really need, but since it worked, we won't talk about that anymore. The problem I have is that the insurance company paid for my pills.

That's right. I'm mad that they paid for them and all I have to pay is the $5 co-pay. Where the hell are all the women's rights activists when you need them? It's my RIGHT to NOT be pregnant, so the insurance companies pay for pills. If they tried to stop, the women's rights people would be ALL OVER THAT SHIT. At the same time, however, it apparently is NOT MY RIGHT to be pregnant, so they don't pay for that. It's no secret I'm a bit conservative and right leaning, so it'll come as no surprise to anyone that I'm not a big women's libber. When it all started it was a great thing, but now that we have the right to vote and go to college, it's our own damn fault if we don't get off our asses and make it in the real world. Have we gone so far down this road that we have to have a group out there that protects a mother's right to have an abortion, but there is no group that protects a mother's right to have a child?
