Here in Washington state, free birth control is already widely available.
Planned Parenthood administers the “Take Charge” program which gives free birth control to any woman earning less than $28,000 a year.
Medicaid, which deals directly with America’s poorest families and individuals, provides free birth control.
Washington state Social Services has at least one program that provides free birth control.
Time to accept reality on this issue...
A free abortion is the birth control of choice for a significant number of America’s poorest women.
But does PP offer the IUD or implants for free? Those are far more effective than the pill, no user error.
This is not what I want for my daughters - this is not a good situation for any young woman.
I don’t know the population this study was performed on, race, social-economic status. But if you have young women who are already sexually active, likely to be promiscuous, likely to go on welfare if they have children, likely to have abortions, then even though I am a Christian, even though I oppose abortifacient contraception as well as abortion, even though I oppose sex outside of marriage...this program is tempting to implement.
Are the embryo-failure-to-implant rates higher on the IUD and implant than they are on the pill alone? I’m not sure that anyone knows, that there are any good studies. Causing an embryo not to implant is wrong, but it does not harden the heart the way aborting a recognized pregnancy does.
