Why is birth control mandates to be covered under stupid Obamacare?

[RomanEmperor]

Your employer shouldn't have to pay for you to have sex. Pay for it yourself if you want to.

That is NOT healthcare. Healthcare is the fact that I have eczema all over my fingers and hands and the skin near my eye is really red and dry and I can't live normally like that :(

Not everyone who is on birth control is having sex, so your first statement is ridiculous. There are other medical reasons for hormonal birth control. Nobody is paying for anyone to be sexually active.

I'd rather that women go on birth control rather than having babies left and right who are potentially going to leech off the welfare system. The welfare system in Western countries today cannot support that, especially in the US. Taxpayers would be putting way more money into supporting children from accidental pregnancies than they would if the money was going towards contraception.

No medication can be offered for free. There is always a cost, and that's why I think a co-pay kind of thing through an insurance company is best. That's how it's done in Canada.

... i'm on birth control because my periods were so heavy after i had my daughter that i couldn't even walk two feet without bleeding all over myself and passing out. Birth control isn't only for pregnancy prevention. This post is stupid.

Eh, Its fucking bulshit, Its all the Feminists claiming that its their right to get shit for free since they have vaginas and stuff. Its not even like that shit was expensive, Like what, $7 or $8 per month?
Meanwhile how much do condoms cost? $1.50 each? And condoms prevent STD's and shit too, If anything, Condoms actually help prevent disease and shit, Making them more of a healthcare item then Birth control... eh... feminist always win...

Birth control isn't 8 dollars a month you burnt out potato.

[Riggers]

Yeah, my bad, it's actually $9 per month...

Maybe it's cheaper to supply the birth control instead of people having children they can't support and end up receiving aid from the government to do so.

I totally agree.
