It’s not your tax money that pays for it. I’m not even gonna get into your roundabout argument about how somehow money is taken out of your own pocket to pay for Georgetown’s private insurance plan whose contraception coverage would ultimately bring insurance rates down. I’m not gonna get into that. And I’m not gonna get into the Catholic Church cause you don’t even pay taxes at all so. I’m just saying, to the people who are upset about the hard earned tax money going to things they don’t like. Welcome to the fucking club. Everyone, everyone pays for shit they don’t want to all the time. You know what? Reimburse me for the Iraq War and oil subsidies and guess what then? Diaphragms are on me.

when it comes to the “Govenrment should get out of my business” argument,

how come everyone forgets that THEY ARE THE GOVERNMENT?

And if you don’t believe that you are the government then wouldn’t you think that things are far enough out of whack to be revolting?
