PAY ME TO HAVE SEX. OR ELSE.

The Daily Show of Jon Stewart is always entertaining to watch. Along with being highly amusing, the show was interesting because of Stewart’s usage of satire.  Although satire is the base of Stewart’s show I felt enveloped in the issue he brought to the floor (table? Lol) I wasn’t aware of the contraceptive case and, with no knowledge of this law student’s case, I was easily convinced by Stewart. But even without watching Stewart’s show I believed birth control should be either affordable or all-in-all free (provided with women's healthcare). In addition, the fact that Stewart had evidence using a woman doctor who understands the issue more than himself, makes his argument strong. He is able to attract people without assuming anything, unlike Limbaugh who said (something on the lines of),“Why would I pay for her to have SEX?!”, and even though Stewart picked certain clips to show to support his argument while making the opposing side look bad (which arguments are suppose to do that, with evidence) he still was able to stay factual and not manipulate the issue; Stewart simply made fun of Limbaugh who was. The satire was able to work because it made the viewer have a basic awareness of the issue. And if they wanted to know more? They could do their own research! I think it’s funny that (mostly) men were (are) talking about this issue and birth control is meant for females. Men do not have firsthand experience to understand the value of birth control.  We can’t stop anyone from having unsafe sex and females from having cramps, hard flow, and inconsistent periods, but we can do whatever is humanly possible to prevent pregnancy (especially for young teens who can’t afford to raise a child) and to give woman whatever provisions they need (birth control) to stay healthy (because most of us can't afford it).
