Two things: I was siting cases where a prescription was given, to someone who was having side effects from blood pressure medicines, and I re-read my post, and I omitted that part, which I apologize.

Second: The post was originally about McCain's comments about government funding for birth control, and Viagra, to which in the ensuing posts, there was discussion regarding sexual responsibility, verses medical reasons, verses just for sex(though it wasn't worded that way). Sexual responsibility is of course optimum. As for abortions, of course there are medical reasons to have them, no argument there. Viagra, same thing. So, in my post, I stated, that for the government either pay for both, or none. The government should not be paying for anyone to 'enhance' their sex life, for mere pleasure, or irresponsibility...Neither should we look to the government to fill in, for what we don't feel like doing ourselves, and that is, taking responsibility for every whim, we'd like.. sexual or not. I'd prefer the government shrink quite a bit, not expanding it to every aspect of our lives....this, as well as other things, we are quite capable of doing, ourselves.
