You sound like an Elitist who looks down their nose at working people.
I happen to agree with Eurisko2012, so does that make me an elitist as well?
Many of us are sick and tired of having to pay for others.
You do not have to pay for others, you pay less in the end, you have to pay more
for Pregnancy and all the associated costs.

A person who is having sex outside of marriage is making a grave mistake. It leads to heartbreak, disordered relationships, confusion and selfishness.
Contraception is wrong because it’s a deliberate violation of the design God built into the human race, often referred to as "natural law." The natural law purpose of sex is procreation. The pleasure that sexual intercourse provides is an additional blessing from God, intended to offer the possibility of new life while strengthening the bond of intimacy, respect, and love between husband and wife. The loving environment this bond creates is the perfect setting for nurturing children.
But sexual pleasure within marriage becomes unnatural, and even harmful to the spouses, when it is used in a way that deliberately excludes the basic purpose of sex, which is procreation. God’s gift of the sex act, along with its pleasure and intimacy, must not be abused by deliberately frustrating its natural end—procreation.

Brilliant! That sounds exactly like the mafia strongman at your restaurant who is telling you it's much cheaper to pay him to protection money every month than it would be to build a new restaurant.

politics and rush limbaugh aside, why do you think it's fair for businesses to be forced to pay for birth control pills.

Rush Limbaugh's point was...if you can't afford birth control-don't have sex. How is that unreasonable?

Stop exaggerating - that is a very weak comparison

My Daughter is on "the pill" due to a hormone issue. She becomes very depressed and the doctor prescribed "the pill" to solve the problem. It has worked wonderfully. But this was for a medical issue...not simply to keep from getting pregnant while having sex.
My biggest issue with this is...where does it stop? The argument appears to be that "the pill" is a preventative measure to save money, lower abortion rates, etc. What about vitamins? What about healthier food? What about exercise equipment? What about anything that "could" save on health costs down the road and/or save human lives? Is government going to pay for everything in that category? And if so...are they going to mandate what is and is not covered? Or worse yet...whose preventative "product" is to be used?
I can just imagine this turning into a huge nightmare. Sure, it is only birth control right now...but we know where this is really leading. The government will cover such costs (actually our tax dollars will) and then they will determine whose product is covered.
Are we really that blind???

The majority of this society doesn't agree with him.
