OOOHHHHHH Please!! I mean it Please!!! Keep their legs closed???? For goodness sakes do you live in a cave, are you part of some group that actually buys that dogma? Are you trolling???????????????????????
YES, YES, YES - provide the pill -
So much more cost efficiant then the alternative which is more human beings.
Ohhh Please! Please stop expecting me to pay for stuff you want! If you want the pill, PAY FOR IT YOUR DAMN SELF! keep your sticky fingers to yourself. I am not trading parts of MY LIFE so that you don't get pregnant. Exercise some modicum of personal responsibility and self control. Are you a human being or an animal incapable of controlling yourself? If so, then maybe you should just be spayed or neutered as is done to animals incapable of exercising self control. Stop spending hours out of my life for your own selfish convenience. Here is a hint, if you can't get a job, maybe you should not be having sex? Think about that for a minute. Maybe you should find something more constructive to do with your time?

But the problem is if we don't supply birth control - a rather small expense!
What is the alternative?
Welfare for a mom who keeps popping out kids!
A rather expensive amount once you factor in all the years and added amenities that go along with welfare.
I too pay for everything and I am not advocating giving some a free lunch, but I feel paying for one lunch is cheaper then taking the whole family out for dinner!
but I feel safe, reliable family planning methods should be availiable to all.
Maybe if you kept me up all night I would agree with you intellectually. But no, I took Sociology 101. I also served our country for 21 years - and you know until recently the VA covered Viagra - but not birth control?? So your tax payer dollars were paying for old male veterans to get it up. We could dither and dather about all this. I know we could spend many years, months and hours working out solutions for our great civilization - but the fact of the matter is our country provides birth control to women in third world countries - are you aware of that???
Personal responsibility is a wonderous and noble thing - and antiquated(sp) like the Puritains. I wish it were not so, but I live in reality. Look at the real world, with real people in it.
Birth control should be available. The equvilant cost of one sortie run in Iraq by my squadron probably would pay for all of the ladies in New England to have their birth control of choice for the next few years.
But Thank you for your personal responsiblity. I am sure you recycle and employ green methods in your way of life too. I still am amused by Sons response about keeping the legs closed. Why does safe an reliable birth control discussions bring these sorts out? I don't like a lot of things my tax payer dollars pay for . . . but I feel safe, reliable family planning methods should be availiable to all.

Anything that directly impacts the health and well-being of the person covered should be covered by health care.
A question, "If birth control were to be left out of universal health control, would women have the basis for a class action suit against the government for discrimination based on sex?"
