The US gov't is not giving out free BC just requiring that insurance companies cover it. Even if the gov't gave away free BC, people who want babies will still have them at the numbers they want and people who don't want babies won't have them regardless.
Free BC is not going to lower birth rates.
A distinction without a difference.
Where do men line up for their insurance-covered condoms? They not only work as contraceptives but offer protection against disease. Thus they are a better value to the insurance company and yet no one is making that argument. You would be heckled for even trying.
That's how you know this isn't really about healthcare or fundamental human rights despite the Left's rhetoric. All we hear about in this "debate" are women from the sex-positive agenda like Ms. Fluke. Also notice, men aren't even allowed to voice an alternative viewpoint or question the underlying assumptions without being demagogued.
It's crass politics, an attempt to buy votes of the majority gender by gross manipulation, by appealing to the worst stereotypes and seeding a false narrative they are somehow being deprived of human rights by being asked to take personal responsibility and pay that same $9 per month for birth control as today.
