Republicans Are Coming for Your Free Birth Control
Mother Jones ^ | Jan. 12, 2017 | Becca Andrews

In the effort to dismantle Obamacare, women's health takes a hit.

In 2012, a women's preventative health care provision within the Affordable Care Act went into effect making birth control free for women with insurance. When it was first rolled out, an estimated 26.9 million women benefited. If the mandate is struck down, it will leave 55 million women without no-copay birth control.

Yes, we’re meanies who expect adults making adult decisions and taking adult actions to behave and think like adults before, during and after.

And to pay their own way.

Bummer. But I never understood why my birth control was free but my dad has to pay for his cholesterol and blood pressure medication.

If you are going to have sex, I have zero problem. Just do not force me to pay for your abortion or condoms. Take responsibility for your own actions.

Just my opinion, but I don’t want FREE condoms.

Some things are okay to spend a little bit more on.

Just like I don’t buy cheap toilet paper.

This provision was made “law” by a decision of the Secretary of Health and Human Services. It can be wiped out by a decision of the new one.

Let “health care” be used to help sick people, not to make well people sick.

Just say “No.”
(On a totally unrelated note, the good news today is that CVS pharmacies as of today are selling generic epi pens for $109.99 for a two-pack! Mylan Labs can keep their’s for $600! This is a blessing for allergy sufferers who must carry one for themselves or their children.)

This is such BS. They make it sound like the mean old Republicans want to "ban" contraceptives. Nobody is seriously advocating that. They just want their freebies, including free abortions (which I don't believe is "contraception. It's murder.)

Look, you get your oil changed on your car, you don't turn the bill into your car insurance carrier. You don't expect me to pay for it. You pay it. What does a monthly prescription for birth control cost? Twenty bucks? Go pay for it yourself.
