The cost of recreation

*Sigh* Just when you think that people couldn't present more illogical arguments for avoiding personal responsibility, along comes another one to restore your faith in the never ending lunacy of the human race.

Law student argues for contraception coverage for her while she attends a JESUIT university.  There are medical exceptions for coverage for birth control for medical reasons.  She herself claims that it costs her $3,000 for birth control, and she is using it to avoid pregnancy, thus making her use a recreational, not medical, use.

This one embarrasses me.  Seriously, she wants me to pay for her recreational meds?  What's next, the condoms, too, because we all know that BCPs do not prevent HIV or STDs?  What's that going to add to her bill, given the rate of her "recreation"?

Lady, really.  If you expect me to pay for your recreation, then you darn well better plan on ponying up for my recreation.  I would dearly love to travel to Ireland, Alaska, Hawaii, Paris, London, Rome, Hong Kong and Australia, just to name a few places.  So, I'll pay your $3,000 for way too frequent sex (do you have time to study?) and you can pay all my recreational travel expenses.

Sheesh!  Get a job and pay for the costs of your own hobbies, woman.
