Why Not? It's A Legal Medical Procedure.

Barbara Boxer (who is so interested in justice she wants the hacker in the Climategate email scandal prosecuted) makes a new-low-class equivocation:

Abortion is a legal medical procedure. Viagra is a legal drug. Why should one be covered and the other the patient has to buy a rider for it to be on their medical plan?

I mean really, what's the difference between vacuuming out a child's brain and tearing them limb from limb while still inside their "mother's" womb, and a man taking a pill to give him a stiffy? That's basically the same, right?

(hint: 'not just no')

Not that I think Viagra should be on a health care insurance (paid for by the taxpayer) plan anyway. But this is more than just a little bit of a stretch.
