OReilly To Fluke: "You want me to give you my hard earned money so you can have sex?"

82. "It's a bit harder to engage in unprotected sex without consequences"

You left out "for women." It's quite easy for men to engage in sexual activity without "consequences." Barring transmission of an STD, real unintended consequences fall ONLY on the woman. Women have to make the difficult decisions (the range of which are being limited more and more), while men can walk away and maybe have to write a check once a month (assuming he is located).
Making BC more available helps to even the playing field when it comes to not only sexual activity but also in having and raising children. Pregnancy does not just result in physical symptoms and a baby, discrimination against pregnant women in the workplace is rampant.

Of course, evening the playing field when it comes to those consequences has been the underlying objection when it first became available and again today.
