Most contraceptives do absolutely nothing to prevent "sexual-related illnesses". And it says so right on the package insert, didn't you read it?
If contraceptives prevent "non-wanted" pregnancies and abortions, why is it that since the introduction of the birth control pill and the absolute glut of contraceptives, the number of abortions AND unplanned pregnancies have skyrocketed?
Regardless, the main point is not whether anyone is for or against contraceptives, but who should pay for them. Why is that so hard to understand?
“the main point is not whether anyone is for or against contraceptives, but who should pay for them”
Any person who wants to use them, should pay from his/her own pocket. Period.
