Bush derangement syndrome is in full swing. It seems if your pregnant and in college no problem, it's Bush's fault. I could just see the mom screaming at the kid "I never wanted you your a Bush Baby!"
Last spring, 20-year-old pre-med student Elizabeth Harris had only Costa Rica on her mind. She was hoping to wine and dine there while taking a few biology courses.But the Waukegan native and University of Illinois at Chicago junior had to skip her trip.
Having gone off birth control, Harris found she was pregnant. She said she quit when the cost of her prescription at the UIC clinic more than doubled.

"The price increase in hormonal birth control can be traced to the
Deficit Reduction Act signed by President Bush last year, aimed at
reducing federal spending by $39 billion. The legislation made it more
costly for drug makers to offer low-cost birth control to college
clinics. Then the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
issued regulations that dropped college clinics from a list of agencies
to which drug companies could sell discounted drugs".
If you read the whole article the writer is blaming Bush. And if contraception is a serious issue maybe these college girls should keep their legs closed. instead of taxing me so they can have unprotected sex.

The only point the writer made about Bush is if he would not have "signed
the Deficit Reduction Act last year, aimed at
reducing federal spending by $39 billion. The legislation made it more costly for drug makers to offer low-cost birth control to college
clinics". Who is the writer pointing a finger at Hillary? THE PROBLEM IS MONEY. SHE HAS NONE. BUSH TOOK IT AWAY. Next time i'll write it in childrens book form.

gmony714, thanks for this. Aren't there free clinics in every city? And isn't having a kid more expensive than a $35 birth control pill?

so why is viagra covered by more insurance companies than contraceptives? thats fair.
and it is insulting and offensive to women to ever say they should "keep their legs closed." we aren't animals begging to be mated with.
