He missed a truly unique opportunity to show exactly what this is about, and missed it. Proper answer would have been along the lines of:
“There is no such thing a “free” goods, or services. Someone has to pay for them. If you are receiving them from the government, then they are being paid for by taxes paid by other people; since the government doesn’t create wealth, it only redistributes.
A lot of Americans do no want to pay for your contraception and would have to be forced to do so at the point of a gun to do so, otherwise.
So, what you are really asking for is the “right” to force someone, against their will, to pay for something you want. The same argument can be made for tax payer funded abortion, as well as a whole host of liberal social entitlement policies.
That is the definition of slavery...you support slavery in a very real and true sense, how very progressive of you.”

Great answer.
In my experience, most sheeperals really cringe, as if physically struck,
when you point out that anything the demand government “give” is taken by force from someone else.
To drive the point home - “yes, you advocate and authorize sticking a gun in someone else’s face in order to provide what you call ‘free’”.
As TPig said - how very progressive of you.
