Try spying on the US communications systems for the Russians, and see what happens when they catch you. Apparently, not OK with Americans.
It's OK If We Do It. America is the Shining City on the Hill, chosen by Providence to spread God's word and God's electronic eavesdropping to all the nations of the earth.
It's NOT OK with everyone else. And yes, they count.
Condom breaks and the woman
... Too bad asshole, ... lied about being on pills.
Okay. It seems that you have some other issues than the subject at hand. You might want to take them off-line.
And what stops her from seeing the regular doc then getting the script filled at a clinic?
Doesn't that sort of depend upon the location of the free clinic? And what hours it is available? And whether she has to go through any protesters to get inside?
And whether this ruling can be interpreted to allow a company to refuse coverage for the doctor visit to prescribe the pills?
My insurance company isn't giving me free condoms, and I don't have any get out of jail free cards made available to me if my birth control fails.
I think that your side issues are becoming a problem with your ability to discuss the main issue.
The insurance companies charge different rates for different demographics because the insurance companies have the statistics to back up their pricing.
Insurance is heavily regulated at the federal and state level. If the insurance companies are charging demographic X more than demographic Y they had to provide evidence based upon statistics that showed X is involved in more accidents or more costly accidents than Y.
Getting hormonal birth control from a doctor other than your regular doctor means that those two doctors have to both have access to your medical records or both consult on any issues you might have.
Different pills have different effects (and side effects) on different women.
The only time it makes sense for a woman to get hormonal birth control from a free clinic is when that is her only source of non-emergency medical care.
I've got a better idea: how about not requiring me to pay for somebody else's elective health care, regardless of whether it's for contraception or not, and regardless of what my religious beliefs (if any) are?
Copyright, as in "intellectual property", is a notion that exploded from The Shining City on the Hill, namely Jesus's country, America. We've rammed each and every treaty down the world's throat for almost thirty years. Now that it's established, of course European copyright lords are helping seal us in with our cask of Amontlliado. But it is American in origin.
Well done, madam or sir. Exactly so.
They don't want to eliminate the internet. They want to turn it into a paid cable TV service with data for a fat extra charge. They want to own the internet, turn it into another corporate-owned asset. And they have won.
This is ME saying this, but in Betamax decision, the SCOTUS said that *even though* VCR sometimes infringed on copyrights, that the non-infringing uses outweighed the "bad" use. Yes, that makes little sense, but blame copyright laws for that. Change the laws, change the decisions.
"Is it one of those things, like sex and human organs, that you can give away for free but you can't charge money for it?"
You can't charge, either. You must remain a virgin until they license you to have sex, er, watch TV.
Um, Scalia tried that with Bush V. Gore. "Only applies to this one election." Bull.
No, it doesn't work like that, unless someone is crookedly applying law. Law is law, and they don't get to choose what the consequences of their STUPID decision is.
"Fair Use"? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! That was FUNNY! "Fair Use"!! Why, grampa here just peed in his Depends when he heard you mention that dead fish. Fair Use indeed. Whoo. Whee.
Those consequences were quite intended by the broadcast industry which sued Aereo. Only Scalia, amazingly, got it right when he warned they were after this endgame. Blind adherence to the tiny details of the law give us this stinking pile to live with, just as when they ruled that eternal copyright was fine as long as there was *some* time limit mentioned, even if it was a century, even if the limit would be eternally extended, as it just obviously had been.
The US writes all the treaties. Amazing how that works.
To do nothing is to be nothing.
