anonymous because I am a conservative (well I hate that moniker, but I don't fit in with the liberals either, so its probably the closest to what I am - and to what I will come off as with this message)... but I still had to respond to the last bit about the federal guidelines...
WHAT IN THE WORLD!!! Now I know the jerk of a doctor I saw a couple of months ago was just following federal guidelines, but... OH MY GOODNESS!!! This doctor told me that he treated all women between the ages of 12 and 50-some as if they could be pregnant tomorrow (this after I told him I was a virgin, did not believe in sex before marriage, was not dating anyone, and if I did start dating anyone it would be a good year before I'd marry anyone - I don't believe in short engagements unless you already knew the guy - the point is - I AM NOT GOING TO BECOME PREGNANT! And I'm 24 - I don't think I'd be lying to you at this point because I was afraid you'd tell my mommy on me!
(so now the government doesn't believe that anyone believes in abstinence either?)
Not to mention the fact that I agree with the other points about how stupid that is (people who aren't planning on having kids, etc) Its not the government's job to tell us not to do and take certain things just because we MIGHT have kids...
