If those engaging in that type of activity are not responsible enough to protect themselves,
they should refrain from engaging in it in the first place.
And if those engaging in eating bad foods, or drinking too much alcohol, or smoking cigarettes are not responsible enough to pay for their subsequent health problems out of their own pockets, then they should refrain from those bad habits, right?
How do you know that they don't always protect themselves? Women can get pregnant on the pill, and they can get pregnant if their partner uses a condom.
I believe the thread is about expecting other's to pay for their contraceptives or "habits" as you stated.
The people who eat bad foods, smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol dont expect others to buy them a bottle, pack of cigs or fries.
Back on topic.
Second of all I PROVED WITH REAL EVIDENCE that the BS you posted is that, BS, and propaganda from a DICATORSHIP...

No, that's not how health insurances used to work... You kept paying your health insurance, even if you dind't go to the doctor, not only to keep your insurance active, but to cover for the costs of when you would get sick...

The hypocrisy is full blown and will soon become tyranny.
The left always talks about civil rights, blah blah blah...They then create a mob and crucify anyone who doesn't agree. They are an angry mob and they totally dont understand how they are being played, because they lack basic morals and principals.

Medicare is a national social insurance program, administered by the U.S. federal government since 1965, that guarantees access to health insurance for Americans ages 65 and older and younger people with disabilities as well as people with end stage renal disease. As a social insurance program, Medicare spreads the financial risk associated with illness across society to protect everyone, and thus has a somewhat different social role from for-profit private insurers, which manage their risk portfolio by adjusting their pricing according to perceived risk.

I face palmed when I read this.

Please cite accurate and documented sources and facts that the women of Cuba don't receive birth control. And then please proved context as to why it matters to us, here in the USA.

That's another fact which the left in general doesn't seem to understand...
For AGES they claimed that educating children about sex from a young age would stop the unwanted pregnancies...
For AGES they claimed that giving free condoms in schools and other areas it would stop unwanted pregnancies...
They have done these things and MORE yet have they stopped the unwanted and teenage pregnancies?...

I have lived, and experienced life in Cuba and there women are not given any contraceptives.....
“You’re not crazy, Elena,” she replied laughing. “It’s true that we Cubanas keep our kids home in the cold weather so they won’t get sick. And a lot of the little ones go to the circulos infantiles (daycare is free and available to all working families in Cuba). But, there really are fewer kids. Women just don’t want to get pregnant now. They’re choosing not to have kids because it’s so hard. They worry about the future their children will have.”
There was so much food for thought in Anita’s response. First I was reminded of the element of choice that she and other Cuban women are able to take for granted. Sex education, reproductive choice, and access to birth control and abortion were big changes brought about by the revolution, led by the Federacion de Mujeres Cubanas (the Federation of Cuban Women or FMC). So Cuban women really can choose to procreate or not, without financial burden and without stigma attached. And, according to Anita, they are.

Birth rates fell 12% for women aged 15–17 years, and 9% for women aged 18–19 years.
