US offers Viagra to win over Afghan warlords: report

[jennielynn1970]

Doesn't that just fry you. Our Federal Government is only too happy to dispense Viagra for men, but if a woman needs access to birth control . . . . . forget about it.

EDIT:

I remember some 40 years ago when the State of Connecticut would not allow doctors to prescribe any form of birth control for married couples. Fortunately that was resolved in 1965, by the U.S. Supreme Court in Griswold v. Connecticut. Maybe we need to do it again.

I remember doing billing and collections for anesthesia in the 1990s, and how Medicaid (welfare's health care) would pay for abortions, but NOT for tubal ligations and vasectomies. What is wrong with that picture??? I wonder if it's changed yet?

You read it wrong. We are judging the CIA and other U.S. Government organizations for their double standards when it comes to men vs women. Appears slightly misogynistic.
