I'm not even sure why there has been all te uproar about health insurance covering birth control. As the title suggests, should car insurance cover speeding tickets? After all if you speed you know there's a chance that you'll get a ticket. No one says you HAVE to speed. Speeding is a choice you make and you know the risks going into it. You never HAVE to speed. Likewise you don't HAVE to have sex.
Again if you know the penalty for speeding and you are willing to pay the price then that is of course up to you, but you are the one who should pay for it, not the people who don't speed and don't feel the "need" to speed.
The problem with our society is that we can no longer tell the difference between a need and a want. I must admit if I knew someone else would bear the burden of the consequences for my speeding I would certainly speed a lot more. After all who doesn't want to get where they're going faster, and certainly going faster is more fun. This still does not change the fact that when my fun comes at the expense of others that I should not expect them to pay for it.
Ever since the free love movement of the 60's we've come to think that having sex whenever you want to is almost an obligation and that you should never deny yourself any pleasure. Sadly now it is going far beyond that. Now people behave as though they didn't know the consequences that behavior might cause and so it has somehow caught them by surprise. This, they think, must be some shortcoming of society and there for society should make it up for them.
I have yet to hear any cogent or aggressive statement from anyone that these people might at least consider not having sex if they can’t afford to get pregnant. This idea seems completely unthinkable in today’s society. The attitude is that no one in our society, others societies, or even in our past ever felt the slightest compunction about having sex whenever they pleased. We have the liberals trying to convince us that people have always and regularly had sex outside marriage, that people have always and regularly cheated on their spouses. They know that almost no one that is alive today can remember those times for themselves and so they believe the lie that the way we behave now is the same way we behaved 60 years ago. They feel safe making that claim because these things were not even spoken of and it was considered rude to even ask people about their sex lives in the 50’s and 60’s. This alone should show the level of modesty that existed.
Sex in the 50’s and 60’s and before was considered a sacred thing between a husband and wife was not talked about with others. If you had sex outside of marriage or cheated on your spouse it was something to be lived down often for a very long time. You were considered loose, meaning you had no self control. These things were clearly important in our society. But now you are ridiculed for even suggesting that a person should exercise self control regarding almost anything.
There has been a great deal of criticism toward Rush Limbaugh for calling Fluke a slut, but the reality is that this term fits. No one bothered to ask what does the word means. From the Chamber Online Dictionary: slut noun, derog 1 a woman who regularly engages in casual sex. 2 a prostitute. 3 an untidy, dirty or slovenly woman.
Clearly the first term matches Flukes own admitted behavior. If she or anyone else is offended with the term more than the actions then maybe they should redefine that word too as so often happens with the liberals. Of course this is a hard word to redefine so instead they make it so politically incorrect because someone is offended by it that people simply won’t use it any more. Soon they’ll be calling it the “S” word as they now do with the “C” word, and the “N” word as if to erase the actual words from our lexicon.
I still contend that health care should no more pay for contraception than car insurance should pay for speeding tickets.
