"Given the national debate regarding birth control coverage, it's increasingly clear that many people have no idea how much it costs it to own a vagina — folks are getting up in arms about the idea that the pill could set uninsured women back about $1000 a year, but in the grand scheme of things, that's nothing.

Do you even know just how much you're shelling out for your clam? Were you aware of the fact that in your 20s alone, you will spend over $26,000 on vaginal maintenance?

Herewith, we do the math on just how much that cooter is costing you.

Don't use it. It'll last longer.

1000 a year for birth control? LOL unless you are speaking about abortion, I dont think so.

BC pills will cost around 45 for three month
however, for 400 or so you can get an IUD, which is more dependable than BC pills and will last up to 12 years
and for 500+ you can get an implant that will last up to 3 years and again, more dependable.

If Nhboy keeps his legs closed, he won't have to pay a nickel for BC.

Is any of this tax deductible?

I would say its cheaper owning a vagina than chasing vagina.

and chasing is cheaper than catching, so I guess it goes back to the cost of owning.

That's bull#### unless you're some skank who runs around Jersey Shoring with dirty men who give you STDs. And that's your problem, slut. I'm almost 50 and I haven't spent anywhere near that on "vaginal maintenance".

It sounds like it is better to rent one than to own one......JMHO

I didn't read the article, skimmed over his post and read the other replies.

The brand I use is just under $260 for a 3 month supply. I pay $50 after my deductible for the 3 packs. Generic is $15 a month (plus whatever insurance covers?), but I can't take it.

So, for the uninsured, taking (my) brand name pills would cost $1040. :shrug:

An iud uninsured costs around 800..that's without paying for the follow up appt to check it. With yearly doc visits, bc, and umm hygiene supplies I can see where it does indeed get to be expensive. They are counting stuff that doesn't really count, but its pretty much a fact that women's maintainence of all kinds costs more.


But I utterly, positively, REFUSE to take seriously an article that uses the terms "clam" or "cooter".

There are much cheaper brands out there.
Just because you can afford to purchase the name brand that you do, does not mean everyone has to have the same brand.
If they cant afford 1000, a quick search on the internet showed me that you could get them for 1/3 the cost.

Just like cars, I would love to have a high dollar Italian sports car, but its just not in my budget, so, in the morning leaving for work, my neighbor pulls out in a Lamborghini and I pull out in my truck. Life is only as fair as you make it for yourself.
I don't hate him because he does so well, I'm happy for him. Honestly happy for him. (but he still wont let me drive his car. let me ride in it once, but that's it.)

Activist knits uterus to send message to lawmakers - CBS 5 - KPHO (http://www.kpho.com/story/17348054/activists-knit-uterus-to-send-a-message?hpt=us_bn7)

Dear slut,

We're trying to leave your uterus alone but you keep insisting on making it our business. Believe me, we'd love nothing more than to stay as far away from your uterus as we can, but when we're paying for it it's common sense for us to have a vested interest.

So if you want us to leave your uterus alone, how's about you stop waving it in our faces and demanding money for its upkeep?

:rolleyes:

That's just utter nonsense. For a period of time, my health insurance did not cover the cost of BC pills. I never asked anybody else to pay for my pills either. A generic prescription cost a little over $10 a month. Rounded up to $11 times 12 = $132. A yearly exam with my insurance had a copay of $25. $132 + $25 = $157 a year. But amazingly enough there are plenty of places a woman can go (such as Planned Parenthood) where she can get a yearly exam for little to nothing and a free 6 month supply of birth control pills and condoms. I don't know where these folks are getting their numbers from, but I believe it's extremely slanted and manipulated in order to prove a point, not reality.

I think you need to check your stats. :eyebrow:

what drives me really crazy is that these women with their ridiculous knitted uterus, and signs and blah blah call themselves feminists. Its freakin outrageous because feminists years ago worked very, very hard to make women be seen as more that just walking vaginas as they were generally regarded..now these morons are doing their very, very best to revert back to that. I can care for my own vagina, and I certainly do not need to be bringing everyones attention to it on a daily basis.

don't be silly, I am positive you were already thinking of my vagina before I even mentioned it :bigwhoop:

come on chasey, bcp has his own vagina that he regularly buys bc for...he's right. How dare you question him. :lol:

I know there are cheaper BC pill brands but I was just addressing your comment about BC not reaching $1000 unless it was an abortion.

The article obviously didn't use the prices of generic BCs for the sake of getting people to read the article with a high number.

come on chasey, bcp has his own vagina that he regularly buys bc for...he's right. How dare you question him. :lol:

BCP can use the search function on the internet and find out that the article was seriously skewed to make people think BC was much more expensive than it is.
But, certainly, let us not cloud the issue with facts.

Population explosion comes to mind along with increased welfare recipients.

you mean like the FACT that BC can cost women more than $1000/year? :whistle:

you mean like the FACT that BC can cost women more than $1000/year? :whistle:

Or the fact that it can cost a woman less than $200 a year. :eyebrow:

Or the fact that it can cost a woman less than $200 a year. :eyebrow:

yep, both are facts.......

like anything it is all about where your priorities are. My origianal bc cost about 125 a month. When January rolled around and our deductible reset and I have to pay it all out of pocket, of course I found a cheaper one. Yes I would like to of stayed on the other one but it would not be fair for anyone else to pay for it just so I can continue with other luxuries. That being said you would think the cost of bc compared to the cost of having a baby would encourage the insurance companies to encourage bc by lowering the copay.

You think it's expensive for women to own, try being the guy who leases it! The cost to trade it in for a newer model is outrageous!

Of course, the lease option is usually a lot cheaper than renting it, as those SS agents are now learning.
