If it were just woman's sexual behavior, there wouldn't be any need for a contraceptive. But since there is a man involved, then a contraceptive is needed to avoid pregnancy. Something that generally BOTH the man and the woman involved want to avoid. Moreover, contraceptives are often prescribed to treat medical issues, and have little to do with a woman's sexual behavior.
Birth control is prescribed to women for medical reasons, but conservatives don't acknowledge this reality.
conservatives opposition to making birth control more available has nothing to do with cost or the health impact on women and every thing to do with wanting to control the sexual behavior of women.
Birth control frees women in their sexual lives in a manner that conservatives hate with a passion.
Why is birth control coverage such a contentious subject?
Since using birth control would minimize the demand for abortion, you'd think the anti-abortion folks would see that it should be readily available to all women. Yet they oppose birth control in addition to abortion. They never explain the contradiction.

correct is may very well be medical, but the point is why should it be covered.
why should something that costs less than a dollar a day not be an out of pocket expense??
insurance is supposed to be about covering major costs, not a simple cost that should be out of pocket

My father's blood pressure medication costs less than a dollar a day. Do you think blood pressure medication should not be covered by insurance?

Conservative women use contraceptives too. Many insurers cover it anyway. Some of us just have a problem with it being a government mandate. Then at least let it apply as any other medication and be subject to co-payment.
Women have been responsible for our own bc for years, now all of a sudden it's a crisis and an attack on women if it isn't totally free. Maybe making men pay for condoms is an attack on them.
We already pay for women to giving birth to children, but that is ok because conservatives like that spending, why can't we spend money to prevent pregnancy, oh that's right cause conservatives want to control the sexual behavior of women.
Yeppers!

1. Where is it written what should/should not be covered by insurance?
2. How can it be free if you're paying an insurance premium?
