Birth control does not equal a woman having sex. Unlike condoms, a woman needs a prescription for birth control. Why should that not be covered by health insurance? Especially when many women, even with health insurance, won’t use birth control even when prescribed because it’s so damned expensive.
And that’s a shame, because it’s not only used as a contraceptive. Many women need birth control to regulate their menstrual cycles and/or to relieve the physical pain they get from their cycles because they are so bad.
Many of those women could very well be virgins, or sexually abstinent. But heaven forbid they request their birth control be covered by their insurance, because then that must mean that they are just sluts.
Even if a woman is having sex and wants to be on the pill, at least she is take some form of preventative measure against pregnancy. And with many bitching about people milking the system via their children, you would think they would embrace the idea of insurance helping towards population control.
