  • You can read it two ways. What the story is actually saying is that health care plans should cover the cost of sterilisation (where previously they may not have).

    You can tell there's an election around the corner when a government trying to give people fairer health options is reported as them sterilising children.

    The majority of the people being sterilised will be middle-aged women who want no (more) children or require the surgery to prevent the spread of cancer.

    My mother had this surgery last year and I'd hate it if the government stopped her having the surgery because they'd been criticised about offering it free for all women of reproductive age.

      • I suppose liberal news websites and shows are much more trustworthy and 100% unbiased.

        • The definition of liberal is "Free in giving; generous, magnanimous". Doesn't sound particularly untrustworthy to me. But I do know it means something different where you are.

          • Liberal sounds nice on the surface, but it will always fail when in practice. Think "socialism" or "communism", it will fail every single time.

          • There is more than one meaning to liberal.

    • I'm criticizing the surgery for older women, but for girls under 18. A girl as young as 15 CANNOT decide for herself if she wants to be sterilized. Also, a federal mandate is UNconstitutional no matter how to want to slice it. Only the STATES have the right to make this kind of law.

      • What you don't seem to understand is that age of consent is decided at the state level, not federal level. Your state decides at what age parental consent is required. Don't blame Obama if your state says its 15.

        • The mandate itself says all girls from menarche to menopause. The states law does say 15 is the age of consent. I blame Obama for not knowing the damn Constitution. All powers NOT granted to the Fed belongs to the STATE. The Fed cannot mandate anything, only the STATE can. Obamacare is illegal.

          • The Supreme Court doesn't share your opinion.

            • The Supreme Court is a joke. They're bought and paid for. End of Story. I know what the Constitution says. Anybody with a functioning brain can see it and understand it. :/
