Oh, Really? O'Reilly
Bill O'Reilly is one more gift who keeps on giving for progressives in this country. Phil Gramm has nothing on O'Reilly. The latest gaffe from Mr. Misogynist himself is his "defense" of John McCain's tortured response to the question regarding insurance coverage for Viagra, but not for birth control. Check out this clip. Does Bill have to "buy you dinner before you use your birth control?" This is the comment from the guy who was sued by a coworker for sexual harrassment just a couple of years ago. You cannot make this stuff up. 10 comments from 7 users

In a few words, the O'Reilly rant is in response to a commercial Planned Parenthood aired showing the video footage of John McCain's tortured response to a question regarding Viagra as a covered prescription for all health insurers while birth control is not currently a covered prescription by many health insurers. McCain could not answer the question. Bill answers it for him. Bill opines that Viagra is medicine for a medical condition and should be covered while birth control is a choice women choose to make and should not be covered by taxpayers. He closes his commentary with the quote I supplied on the initial post. I'm sure you can probably google this snippet and find a transcript . Hope this suffices. posted by

Thank you Adam. That was a sufficient explanation of a case where stupidity competes with nonsense. posted by

In other words, the classic head-in-the-sand response neocons have to the Viagra vs birth control question. Of course, it totally ignores the fact birth control is also used to treat medical issues for women, but then they might actually have to admit that birth control is a medicine. posted by

His rant actually makes some sense. In general, ED is a medical problem and not wanting to get pregnant isn't. of course, you only need viagra if you want to have sex. You don't HAVE to have sex (despite what some people think). However, as stated by others, many women need to take birth control for medical reasons OUTSIDE of birth control. It should be covered by health insurance. Viagra should not. Out of all the insurance plans I have had, birth control has always been insured.
