Women have one weapon. It's been used before. A movement that says no sex without free birth control for all would be very effective even if only carried out by a minority of the women in our country. Exceptions could be made for couples who are trying to have a baby. And of course, a lot of women would not participate.
But if we organized that, we women would be able to end this constant pressure about birth control.
After my second child, I was told that I should never have another and that if I did, neither I nor the child would be likely to make it through the pregnancy alive.
For a bunch of old, half-senile, very self-centered men to tell employers that they can meddle in their employees' healthcare by refusing to pay for insurance that covers birth control is evil. That's the real evil.
I'm grateful for birth control because it allowed me to remain in good enough health to live to raise my two children. Thank God for birth control.
All women should have access to free birth control.
