Rush is Wrong, as usual

Low hanging fruit time.

So, Rush thinks that an adult woman who wants to have sex is a prostitute and a slut. Doesn't matter if he tries to hide under the shield that he's an entertainer, he can't have his cake and eat it, too. He's trying to sway public opinion on public matters, so he's not just out there entertaining. He's advocating.

Now, to my way of thinking a woman who wants to have sex is a very good thing. Seriously. If you're a man who wants to be with a woman who doesn't want to have sex, there's something seriously wrong with you. Sex with a woman who's not into it is not fun. You'll have more fun in solo stimulation than with a disinterested woman. Disinterested man, too, I suppose, if you're a man who likes men. That one's not my area of expertise.

But Rush's alleged objection is that taxpayers, employers, insurers or someone other than the woman who wants to have sex are being asked to pay for the contraception that will keep her from getting pregnant when she doesn't want to be pregnant.

Rush is far behind in the bandwagon against the promotion of irresponsible sex at the expense of taxpayers, employers or insurers, though. Vasectomies are covered by insurance. Viagra and other ED treatments are covered by insurance. The difference, of course, is that these are for men. So, the conclusion is that it's ok, in Rush's world, for men to want to have sex, and to do so without running the risk of unwanted pregnancy, but not for women.

Ah, well. I shouldn't expect much of a guy who thinks the Lord's Resistance Army is a good thing for central Africa and that it's a terrible thing that the US government is trying to stop their depredations. If there's even a hint of Christians, no matter how homicidal, fighting Muslims, the Christians must be in the right. Nice bit of logic, that. Maybe reading The Unknown Soldier by Joshua Dysart would help him with a primer on the situation.
