Yes, the big difference there is that we have a choice and make it, consciously. Those poor men are just suffering and need help. How dare we attempt to take so much control of our lives.Kate wrote:

Let me see if I can paraphrase what you said.
Insurance companies should pay for a prescription for a medical condition so that a man can participate in a voluntary sexual activity. Insurance companies should not pay for a prescription for a woman which can prevent a medical condition that is a result of that same voluntary sexual activity.
Is that about the sum of your opinion?

I used to be. Getting old sucks, can't rock the bikini, or night club hoochie-mama outfits like I used to. I can outlast any 20 year old you throw at me though!
Hmmm, a 285Bound slut walk...I like it!

If one holds that fertility is an abnormal condition for a woman rather than a normal one that might be a fair summation of the opinion that was expressed. Is this the source of our disconnect Kate? Do you feel that fertility indicates that there is a medical problem which the medical community needs to address and fix if at all possible so that normal function, which would be infertility, can be restored?Kate wrote:

I recognize that a prescription which can be used for contraceptive purposes has other medical indications for treating existing medical conditions such as heavy or irregular menstruation, hormonal mood changes, growths on ovaries and others. I fully agree that a person seeking to treat such a condition should have their prescription covered in an identical manner as one who has been prescribed Viagra to address their medical condition. When prescribed to induce sterility, however, the prescription is not being used to treat a medical condition, it is being used to create one. Thus, equating the coverage of Viagra to address an existing medical condition and the coverage of contraception which is used to create a medical condition is an attempt to equate an apple with an orange.
