We know just how well total abstinence worked for priests.

What were they doing before 2012 then ?

She received welfare, medicaid, and food stamps for her and the baby of her unplanned pregnancy.

Let’s go for the full monty and get them to deny claims resulting from all the deadly sins that can be traced to biblical or religious doctrine.

That makes sense. If you voluntarily ingest carcinogens for recreational purposes, you should pay more for your insurance. I like that. And if you are a drunk, your premiums should be higher if you want coverage for rehab. That would be fair.

It's silly they even require a prescription. They should be sold over the counter and cost $20/month like PPIs are sold.

Try again. Obamacare is for working people above the poverty line.

Medicaid is for people BELOW poverty line and medicaid has always provided FREE contraceptives and is not affected by this ruling.

Working women here which includes those making $50-$60-$150K a year.

This ruling has no affect on the welfare mamas.

Until a single mom can no longer work due to having to stay home with the baby.

Here's some FACTS.

Unplanned pregnancies in 2010: 13.8%
Unplanned pregnancies in 2015: 13.4%

And that reflects the "free contraceptives" that Obama mandated in 2012.

So, no, I do not see an America full of single mothers on welfare because they couldn't afford $50 or less a month for a pack of pills.

And FWIW the largest group of women that get abortions are low income on medicaid.
Yes..even with FREE contraceptive this is the largest group that get abortions and manage to find money to pay for that.

If people truly care about themselves and their future they will do what is right and find a way to pay for it.
