It's a consumer protection. Health ins. plans that don't include contraceptives, and hell even DNC's aren't really covering the health problems that plague millions of women. Think of it like knowing when you're buying a car that the seat belts work. Or when you buy car insurance, that you're health is covered in case of a crash. If you don't cover contraceptives, then you're not covering the MILLIONS of women who suffer from endometriosis, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids and polyps... AS WELL as those that don't want to become pregnant. And guess what is the biggest health care expense for young women? C'mon, just guess... oh yes! pregnancy and births! Just makes sense to make every one of those pregnancies and births a wanted one, eh? Churchy guys have NOT ONE THING TO DO WITH IT! But if they're going to claim that they're paying for it (which they aren't), then by their man-cave logic, women can and will bitch about paying for the drugs that allows them to get off.
It's so, so, so, simple...
