And all I can say is, I agree. :) At least women take birth control for things regarding their health -- men mostly take Viagra to get their groove on. So birth control should be covered more. Unfortunately, the more hardcore right-wing folk don't seem to take kindly to women. Or anyone who isn't a straight white Christian Republican male, really. :/
And it doesn't help that one group on Facebook, the Australian Tea Party, are calling Sandra Fluke a hypocrite and a slut, while engaging in the usual racism and misogyny (the whole "close your legs" crap, for instance. I don't know why, but it really offends me), Yes, because wanting help for your friend makes you a hypocrite and a whore. /sarcasm. #Had to rant. Sorry. :(
