Free contraception for women in the U.S., thanks to the new health care law.?
What is your take?
Do you think that the Obamacare should be dictating this?
Will they be handing out rubbers to men next?
Ken, You are correct "a woman has a right to make her own reproductive decisions and should have access to the facilities and drugs necessary to carry out those decisions"
But why should the taxpayers have to pay for it?
Those that should be using BC won't and those that do will have their own ins to cover the cost, It won't be coming out of the taxpayers pockets.
Cordelia, your statement is false.
"Healthy mothers have healthy babies. Fewer unwanted pregnancies mean fewer abortions. Around here, those are considered good things."
Just because Obamacare is going to hand out free BC doesn't mean fewer unwanted pregnancies, because those that should be using BC won't, and will end up pregnant anyways.
Planned parenthood already gives out free BC already and it isn't being used by those that need to use BC..
Why doesn't the govt just limit the number of Children we have and then sterilize everyone, this is what it is coming down to.

Very much against this. I'm all for letting it be on a co-pay as a prescription drug. It ISN'T a preventive drug to me though. The woman doesn't have to have sex. A PREVENTIVE MEDICINE to me is when you are trying to prevent a DISEASE, so unless women want to claim that pregnancy is a disease then they can't really defend this.

What in the Hell do you mean, "dictating?" I don't know if the article is right or not but a woman has a right to make her own reproductive decisions and should have access to the facilities and drugs necessary to carry out those decisions.
Butt out.

I certainly hope so.

If you don't want birth control, nobody is going to make you take it.

The women who need to use it will never use it.
The bottom of the barrel in society are breeding at an atrocious rate. They don't care about birth control or anything else but themselves and their growing brood of bastards. Watch an episode of Maury on paternity test day; gives you enough dread to make you want to move to an isolated island.

Contraception is cheaper than abortions. Less bloody too.
