We should not be surprised that at the moment in which birth control is seen not only as a right, but as a necessary part of a woman's health care program, we have a great deal of Viagra politicking going around as well.
The Washington monthly.com reported on Sean Hannity's description the other night regarding Viagra being an important medication for a serious medical disorder for man, not being able to get it up, as compared to birth control which is not a medical necessity for women. You can read the blog post by Steve Benen here.
You can also obtain the transcript of the interview that Sean Hannity had with Kimberly Guilfoyle and Jehmu Greene here, but watch the video to see the entire discussion because the Viagra comment is not in the written transcript but only on the video.
The argument made by Hannity in the video clip is simply that Viagra is needed to correct a medical problem rather than being a medication used so that you can chose to have sex: this is Hannity's distinction and logic. But why then take Viagra? Men are not taking Viagra simply because they want to have a hard on, but because they want to have sex! In that light, there is NO difference between covering Viagra vs covering birth control.
Viagra Politicking folks!
