Republicans Are Coming for Your Free Birth Control

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.

Damned straight they are! Why should I pay for some skank’s birth control any more than I should pay for her eye makeup or sensible shoes?

[Gumdrop]

Coming ‘after one’s birth control’ - is a whole lot less terrifying than Obama coming after your charity works - like he did - and is still doing with the Little Sisters of the Poor.

[Tax-chick]

Population control is an essential government interest. Care of the elderly is not.

[SoFloFreeper]

1. It isn’t free. Someone else pays for it.

2. Buy your own.

[xzins]

They were already free. They had to run by their county public health clinic.

Your body, your wallet

Even when I was fairly poor, I didn't have a problem paying for birth control. Now that I'm past needing it, but have gotten cancer, I have to say that paying fir birth control is WAY cheaper than the $6,000 cost-sharing I have to pay for actually being sick.

O and Pelosi have turned the very idea of insurance on its head. It can't be gone too soon for me!

[SkyPilot]

Dear liberal ladies,

Keep these together.

If you can't, then pay for your own birth control.

[VanDeKoik]

We can give them a penny to hold down there.

“They make it sound like the mean old Republicans want to “ban” contraceptives. Nobody is seriously advocating that.”

They should be. Aside from the spiritual evil, oral contraceptives are very bad for a woman’s health.

[dsc]

“taxpayers ought to be able to have sex with them.”

Maybe some kind of punch card system with a monthly quota?

I wrote about that years ago in connection with women discriminating against the obnoxious.

[Organic Panic]

WOW. I get FREE birth control with a $500 a month premium.

Then I guess if I stop eating at Chinese restaurants I don’t get FREE fortune cookies.

God’s point of view would not even include contraceptives.

Male and female he made them. They were to go forth and be fertile and multiply.

Genesis 1
26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth."
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."
29 And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so.
31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

Free love isn’t even free. There is a lot of human debris left in its wake.

Broken families, drug abuse, sex addiction, exploitation, regrets...

[a fool in paradise]

Stalinists lie. ALWAYS

It’s about sustaining Marxist OUTRAGE at the incoming government, every day a new slur, a new controversy, all phony outrage.

[a fool in paradise]

Don’t forget about the STD cleanup costs.

[Vigilanteman]

Roughly $16 for a month's worth of birth control pills or $24 for a 3 dozen pack of condoms last time I checked.

When the Mrs. and I were newlyweds, it was two, three or even four times a day. Still, she wasn't getting PG until we went to a specialist who advised a little change in technique, for which I will spare you the details.

After that, three children in 3.5 years. It didn't take long before we decided it would be best to stop messing up her body chemistry with pills and switched to condoms. We also found cheaper sources and more variety than the drugstore. They still are found here and there in boxes we packed over 30 years ago . . . and generate more than a few laughs.

Point is that we were dirt poor when we were first married and somehow managed.

[Read Write Repeat]

I cannot believe people get this upset over a $10 prescription.

Get upset over the costs associated with birthing a baby in a hospital or something useful for once.
