- Do I have double whore-points for using birth control strictly for "family planning" purposes? After all, 58% of women on birth control use it, at least in part, for reasons that aren't just related to the prevention of having babies. Clearly, these women are whores. But, since I'm not someone using birth control for a medical reason as well, does that make me extra whore-y?
- Does the fact that my husband condones the use of birth control actually make me less of a whore? I mean, we decided, together, as a married unit, to use birth control. So, since a man has approved my use of birth control, perhaps I'm not really a whore after all.
Deep and interesting questions that are especially important to the fate of our country right now. Certainly the way women address their reproduction and their reproductive health is, without a doubt, terribly important. And certainly not a true health issue. It's really a political and religious issue of vital importance in this election.
Clearly, access to birth control through health insurance is the reason the country has struggled since 2001. This needs to stop. We can't have whores like me using birth control and ruining things for everyone else.
