Let me explain. I was furloughed from my job. Still had health benefit, but they didn't cover contraception. I go to the pharmacy to get bc's. They are not covered by my health insurance, they cost $50 for a months worth. I can't afford them. I get pregnant. You do not want me to get started. If women need help with their menstrual needs, give them a break. You have not a clue. Sometimes every penny is needed just to put a roof over your head.
