actually, i am familiar with these groups and their positions. what i am trying to get across is that there plenty of other ways to promote a women's right to choose rather than opposing a murder conviction for an unborn baby. i am not saying that you have to agree with me, but honestly, with a huge lobby like that there are plenty of good things for them to do! looking at murder from a legal point of view involves malice. abortion does not. if the pope can even understand that difference, then i hope other people could too! this is sort of like the legal defination of insane. personally, i think anyone who kills another human being is insane. unfortunately, the legal defination is much different! i pay $25 dollars per month for my birth control. my other friends pay $30. i got off "cheap." i have health insurance and so do my friends...we would never qualify for reduced rates from planned parenthood. actually, i once got pills from them and it cost me $60, so i think i will stick with cvs! yep, these groups have helped to get more insurance cos to pay for bc, but now most insurances have a tier method. when reviewing my new health plan in sept, there was not ONE birth control pill on the tiers less than $25. my last insurance plan had all of the birth control meds on the second tier ($15) until last spring which all of the bc pills jumped up to $20 on tier 3. i guess my point is that they are obviously not doing that great of a job at lobbying for a decrease in cost!
