Why aren't people making the comparison to vasectomies? They have been covered by insurance for decades. They have no purpose other than stopping a pregnancy. Shouldn't these religious leaders want them excluded from coverage?
No - because men matter and women don't and it is much more important to shame women for having the same sexual freedoms that men have always enjoyed.

I think it is also important to note that the insurance plan that EXCLUDES coverage for birth control is MORE EXPENSIVE than ones that INCLUDE the coverage because insurance companies are pretty smart and don't want to pay the expense of pre-natal, birth and post-natal care.
