I could call my sister. Wouldn't matter if some insurance company covered her pills though, she doesn't have insurance.

An unemployed woman? A mother whose husband has lost his job? Ever met a learning disabled woman on SSI? Emotionally diabled?
I'm sure I wouldn't have to go far to find someone unemployed, been there myself a few times. And, yes, yes, yes to the rest. And?

Contraceptives are an expense that is a challenge for some Women, and takes some planning around, and the expense can sometimes be challenging to fit in.
Are you suggesting this is the insurance company's problem? Or my problem? Or the government's problem?

Sounds like a personal problem to me.

Buahahhahaa... yeah, sure it does.

Some government expenses are wise investments. Roads could be operated by communities and turnpike fee companies. Why Federal highways?
I would be perfectly fine with privatization.

How much extra do you wantt o spend on Educating unplanned children, whose mothers were not careful during pregnancy, and now have learning diabled children, because the women failed to fit contraceptives into their budget.
$0. I don't think the government should be spending anything on education.

How far would you have to travel to find an unemployed, or underemployed woman who was living in a household, where a man would sometimes demand sex, that was not voluntary and by mutual consent? And being intimidated or intoxicated, submit to unplanned sex, to be able to have a place to live?
If a woman is being regularly raped in her household, she should remove herself from the household. I have no sympathy for those who remain.
