It's not the birth control that costs a lot of money. It's the required visit to the ob-gynecologist to get it. Minimum $150, plus lab fees for the Pap smear before you can have the prescription. Planned Parenthood used to offer those exams and a prescription based on your ability to pay ( sliding scale fees)
Oh well, if they get rid of the family planning clinics, I guess people will just get more abortions out of state or maybe abandon their unwanted baby as we've seen teenage girls do in the past.
Again ostupidcare was supposed to take care of that. Why I declined healthcare insurance after the lie. I, as a, single guy would have to carry insurance for female junk. So if ostupidcare covered it, why is PP even existing?
And yours fails with the first word. But nevermind that; since apparently you've never used the pill, or a diaphragm or an IUD or any other form of internal protection, you are ignorant of the fact that one needs a doctor's prescription to get it. Planned Parenthood provides that, with insurance or Medicaid if you have that, or on a sliding scale if you don't have insurance. If you have Medicaid, it's not as easy as just making an appointment with your family doctor, because not every doc or clinic accepts Medicaid.
ACA was supposed to cover that. So are you telling Me ACA is useless because PP is needed?
Why is the gov funding both when only one is needed?

Damn, this is like talking to a brick wall.
Don't be obtuse. Medical insurance pays for birth control. The ACA expanded Medicaid in some states. Medicaid is medical insurance; therefore, it covers birth control.
What the ACA didn't do was mandate that every doctor in the land accept Medicaid.
Maybe we emphasis the poor and lower classes a little more than Wall Street and there are fewer that need fed?
P.S. there are very few babies not spoken for. There are waiting lists for babies. Don't confuse adoption with the foster system. The majority of those in the foster system are there while we try and place them back into their birth families and are not up for adoption.
With the further acceptance of gay marriage there will also be more families looking to adopt.
yes babies get adopted right away. there are at any given time 250,000 children in foster care who are eligible for adoption and or age out of the system. this does not include the ones that are ineligible for adoption. more people should be willing to adopt older children but they just don't for some reason.
