Tax dollars should not be used to fund prostate exams

[me b zola]

Prostate exams are an abomination, god told me so. It's right there in my holy book in the section which discusses who should be denied health care.

[Oregone]

1. I'm also morally and religously opposed to the male gender

Any and all procedures specific for this sex should really not be funded with federal subsidies

[vadawg]

2. okay you go campaign on that and see if you get any traction

[me b zola]

4. I know, it's only popular to remove rights from woman. n/t

[vadawg]

6. i think you have to realise that for a lot of people its not removing rights from one person

its actually giving rights to a person, whether you agree or not a lot of the people who vote and a lot of the politicians who get those votes see the issue differently than you do.

[me b zola]

15. They may not realize that they are demeaning women

~and taking away their rights, but they are.

[vadawg]

17. and thats one opinion, you may not see that but its a fact of life

that people of all religious bents believe that an abortion is the ending of an innocent life, you may not agree but you got to realise that these people are gonna vote their beliefs and the politicians who represent them will vote that way as well. Its one of the consequences of a society where people are allowed to believe and vote according to their beliefs...

[StarfarerBill]

21. The fact that they vote...

...gives them absolutely no right to foist their beliefs on others. In fact, the right to privacy and bodily integrity trumps any religious belief.

The current "reality" may say that they can force others to their will; but you'd better believe that they're going to be resisted and that one day in a new "reality" they will be the ones dictated to, not doing the dictating...so they'd be advised to rethink their arrogance and sanctimony.

[vadawg]

23. yeah okay, im sure that when that day comes and the new reality comes to pass

it will all be rainbows and puppies, what the hell are you talking about new reality, sounds very much like you either agree with you or you go up against a wall somewhere....

[StarfarerBill]

24. That's the alternative they give...

...are they perhaps expecting something more enlightened from the other side?

By new reality, I of course mean that those who are in power now, whether through voting or de facto, will one day be out of power; they should probably think about, before that day comes, the consequences of their actions today...or they'll receive no better than they gave. It's the way things are, you know...

[me b zola]

29. And many of those same people would--if they could--

~vote to make it legal to keep our President as a slave. Many of those same people would vote that women should not be allowed to vote, own property, or work outside of the home.

Civil rights, human rights, are not up for a vote. Get it?






edited to add the word "vote"

[dflprincess]

30. It's also a fact of life that people of all religious bents believe

that abortion is a private decision that a woman has a right to make for herself.

[vadawg]

31. yup, then they vote for their beliefs that same as the other side does...

both sides campaign to elect the reps that most align with their beliefs....

[Bitwit1234]

3. And no male member should

engage in fornication by using the little blue pill which should not be covered.

[me b zola]

10. Ain't that something?

A man's limp member is more important than a woman's life.

[Obamanaut]

5. In support of your protest, I will never again turn my head and cough

on demand.

[imdjh]

7. That would be the corollary to breast cancer, not pregnancy.

[me b zola]

12. No, it's a matter of people getting their noses out of woman's exam rooms

It's a matter of a woman having the same rights as are granted to men.

16. Blasphemy!

Now I need to sprinkle holy water on my computer screen!

[Hekate]

19. It's gross so I think it shouldn't be done on my dime. No ED pills either. Ever.

[The Midway Rebel]

9. There is something I dislike about that argument....

but I can't put my finger on it.

[vadawg]

11. lol im still squirming from the pic....

[Cass]

13. Tax dollars fund penile implants for erectile dysfunction.

Medicare covers it, Medicaid doesn't.

Is it medically necessary to have an erection or is it an elective procedure?

Medicare also covers viagra, btw.

[Hekate]

20. That's sure as hell a lifestyle choice if ever there was one, isn't it?

And yes, I am being sarcastic.

Colonoscopies, too.

[Odin2005]

25. BAN VIAGRA!!!

[vadawg]

26. HELL NO

erm not that i use it, but i have a friend who does and erm i may need to use it when im in my 70's

[Odin2005]

28. And women might need free birth control and abortions.

[Solly Mack]

27. Impotence is God's will. So, no pecker primers either.

[Hekate]

34. Yeah: God's Will.

[Quantess]

32. Why? Is it sodomy?

(just kidding)

[me b zola]

33. I'm just repeating what god told me.

You'll have to listen for the voices to know the answer. Or get a Magic Eight-Ball.

[dysfunctional press]

37. you said that it;s in the ;holy book'- so...what chapter and verse?

[cascadiance]

35. Yup, only god should know if he wants me to die like my father is right now of prostate cancer...

I understand the motivation of these thoughts to trust the lord to take care of me. And how I must support not doing this or treating kidney stones they tell me I have either... Oh well, I won't have to worry soon if my COBRA runs out and God keeps me from having to work soon...

[dysfunctional press]

36. really? what chapter and verse?
