Sex is a recreational activity for many, act of love and more between those who love each other. Why the hell should birth control fall under something to be covered by an insurance company let alone be free(aka cost goes to everyone else)?

Should we then have vitamins covered? A round of golf? Heck, perhaps the cost of the chase to this said recreational activity, (door fee for club, drinks, dinner, movie, candy, gifts, etc) should be covered.

More importantly, health insurance is not for the expected, its for the unexpected sickness/illness. You know you want to or are going to have sex, how idiotic that your CHOICE to use birth control means someone else should pay for it. If you cant afford $20 a month or whatever else it costs to be safe, then find something else in your life to cut costs. Cut your cable, your smart phone data plan, junk food, smokes, alcohol, etc. So typical that the liberals want everyone else to pay for this.

Like others have said, this didnt just come out of no where. The liberals are playing their typical bs games trying to make it seem that conservatives want birth control to be banned.

The bottom line is that this is not a fricking health issue, its your personal recreational activity and it has no business in health coverage.

Yes sex between loving couples is the equivalent of white water rafting, watching a movie on Netflix, or going out to dinner.

Of course never mind that birth control is cheaper than paying for the abortion, or delivering a child which is perhaps why it the insurance companies aren't the one's jumping up and down about this regulation just a bunch of old so-called celibate (except when they are buggering little boys) and a bunch of constitution loving phonies and opportunist.

Get the government totally out of health care and the problem goes away.

Sex is a basic function of humans, not a hobby enjoyed by a few people.

Let the man or woman invest in condoms at the 99 cent store and be done with it.
Want to kill your kid through abortion, they should make you pay cash to kill your own children IMO. It's only ashame there can't be a way to knock 5 or more years off the parent's lives for killing their kids in the 99.95% of the cases that are NOT rape, incest or the real life and death health issue regarding the mom.

Over half of the women who take oral contraceptives do it to treat medical conditions unrelated to preventing pregnancy. The pill is used to treat everything from heavy periods, irregular periods, hormonal symptoms of menopause and mood swings, acne, polycystic ovarian disease--there's a long list of things.

If you want to lose the support of huge groups of women voters, including republican women, just keep making the case that birth control--whether it's used as a form of contraception or for the treatment of a medical condition--should be optional based on your employers personal beliefs in health care coverage.

And while you're at it, please continue to pass out those little blue boner pills nine times a month. No one seems to care about that.

Does that mean health insurance shouldn't cover accidents? I lean, if you're hurt while voluntarily rock climbing you shouldn't be covered. Also, I took birth control to help with debilitating cramps long before I became sexually active. In that case, it WAS to help with a medical condition. Should women have to have a valid medical reason to take bc now?

When Viagra and other ED meds are banned from coverage, then we can talk.

Actually it is a hobby to some. But that is besides the point. It is a planned recreational act. Insurance is for the unexpected sickness or illness. Insurance
is for something you cant exactly plan on happening.

Babies come from SEX. Everyone knows that it can happen with out protection. Babies are NOT an illness, sickness, disaster. So preventing a pregnancy is not preventing what I just mentioned. You take the risk, YOU PAY for it. Why the hell should we pay for your willing act?

And again, with abortion and raising your kid....again, that is YOUR choice to engage in the act so YOU pay for raising the child.

And someone tell me who gave Obama the right to force companies to pay for something at no cost? Cost being something passed to everyone else through
higher premiums.
