Comment on The economic foibles of mandating contraception by Noah Davidson

Pro life and organizations even said that a one-year delay does not address their serious concerns about being forced to comply with a position to which their faith is opposed. I read this at http://reallycheaphealthinsurance.com/religious-conservatives-angered-by-health-insurance-requirement-on-contraceptives/ and http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2012/02/10/146693907/white-house-bends-on-birth-control-requirement-for-religious-groups. I think this is getting way too serious.

Oh, trust me, Searles DID mean to push anti-feminist views. He’s a fanatical libertarian, which means (among other things) that if something bad happens to you and you can’t fix it without help, it’s all your fault and you don’t deserve assistance. So, for example, if you are a working class woman and can’t afford to purchase birth control and pay the bills at the same time, tough luck. That is the libertarian mindset.

Liz Warren is an overpaid celebrity professor who teaches one class a term for 350K per year. She had done very well for herself working for a so-called non-profit institution.

No, Mr. Mason, the “riots” could have been avoided if those rampaging student drunks had not imperiled campus safety by rioting. These students should have shown more respect for their fellow students. The students who riot continue to insult and besmirch UMass and its many law-abiding students by indulging in the sort of thuggish behavior we witnessed that night.

contraception isn’t an obvious public good? are you kidding? conservatives like you who complain about ‘entitlements’, education and all the other costs that go with bringing more people into society should really consider how much more economic sense it would make to have fewer people around in the first place. speaking of society, i agree that the individual mandate isn’t a good solution to the problem. healthcare is a social issue and a social good, and we should have a public option.

well Ed, post-birth abortions might have spared us some ignorant, homophobic and sexist comments like yours.

hey James, i think increasingly a lot of us are just worried about getting jobs and being able to live with dignity rather than assuming we’re entitled to big cars etc….

@VersaS…try reading the article again…the author did NOT say he likes Santorum…he said “It’s why I like Rick Santorum more than Mitt Romney.” That’s akin to saying I like steak more than meatloaf, but I’m a vegetarian. Just what part of the author’s article touched you as being non-liberal?

Comment on Expelled student sues UMass by CJC Dave

About the only defense I can think of for the administration is that he jumped the gun by suing before they exhausted their internal timeliness requirements. Even then, they’re going to have a hard time sanctioning him in any subsequent hearings and avoiding claims of bias and retaliation.
