Looks like after doing a good job in 2014 not providing material for the "War on Women" narrative some of the GOP want to pour some gasoline on the embers.

you are right

This may be an unpopular opinion around here but an IUD is way less expensive than saddling taxpayers with the results of irresponsibility for 18 years or more.

Additionally, if it’s through a private grant what do they care?

Really? this is insane. This is where the GOP gets off track on stupid no win debates. Why not debate whether birth control pills are contraception or abortion. Hers a novel idea; since the Colorado legislatures have absolutely no authority to restrict, limit, or ban IUD’s why not work on something worth while, like Jobs and reducing State government spending!

At least they’re not blowing up on roadsides in Iraq.

THE FATHER OF LIES brings the world abortion, and all of the demon lies about abortion from those who promote it:

The IUD or intrauterine device is available in two different types in America. The hormonal IUD called Mirena, and the copper IUD called Paragard. Mirena releases levonorgestrel, which is a progestogen. Its primary function is to prevent implantation by the tiny developing human (embryo).

Preventing ovulation appears to function as a distant second. A study of women, one year after inserting the IUD, showed about one-half (45%) of women were still ovulating. After four years, 75% of women were ovulating. Obviously, the greater the number of women ovulating means the higher the chance for fertilization to occur. Other mechanisms of Mirena include thickening the mucus of the cervix, thus not allowing sperm to enter the uterus, or affecting the mobility or survival of sperm.

If fertilization occurs, most likely the tiny unborn child will be prevented from attaching to the lining of the womb and he or she will die. This is a very early abortion.

The copper IUD's effectiveness comes from a continuous release of copper into the uterine cavity; however, they aren't sure why this works. The general consensus is that this is accomplished by preventing implantation of the human embryo.

With both forms of IUD, if the woman becomes pregnant, she has a greater chance of having an ectopic or tubal pregnancy. This is when the tiny developing baby attaches to the lining of the fallopian tube and may threaten the woman's life.

The IUD is not considered safe for women if they have not first given birth to at least one child, have a history of or had breast cancer, or have multiple sexual partners.
