Mom's or Dad's employer's health insurance is required to cover contraceptives. Uh huh. Okie dokie. Like they really give a shit. Their parents' insurance dealings are not even on their radar.

This is the same idiotic argument they use for not giving tweens the human papillomavirus vaccination. I don't know about the rest of y'all, but when it came time for childhood vaccinations, I never questioned what they were for. My mom took me to the doctor, I got whatever shots, and went home. I doubt it's any different with kids now.
