Why are women so outraged over a single issue? Because the 5 ungulates on the S.C.

43. I REALLY agree with you this time!!

Pregnancy has very serious health implications and should not be taken lightly. A pregnancy is far more expensive than birth control! Giving birth can be fatal or have lifelong after-effects. Some women with health conditions cannot safely carry a baby to term. Some women are on life-saving medication which is contraindicated to pregnancy and can cause severe birth defects. Some women take a progesterone form to balance estrogen dominance which can lead to cancers, migraines and other health effects. How many different reasons do you need to know that access to contraception is necessary? It should be called something else such as hormone therapy because for the most part, that's what it is.

And pregnancy affects men too. I'm so gobmacked to see people here think this is merely a "woman's problem." Do fathers share no responsibility in the number of children that are born? Does it not impact at least your financial life significantly? If you are married, do you think it's just fine that your wife pays into her health insurance and then pays up to $100 out of pocket a month for necessary medication?

Viagra improves a quality of life condition. But ED is not life-threatening. So the fact that Viagra is covered is not necessary. And because it is brand name still as compared to many forms of birth control, it is still more expensive.

All of that is secondary to the fact that religious people should not have a say in what another individual chooses. EVER.
