In 2012, a women's preventative health care provision within the Affordable Care Act went into effect making birth control free for women with insurance. When it was first rolled out, an estimated 26.9 million women benefited. If the mandate is struck down, it will leave 55 million women without no-copay birth control.

Dear Becca:
If I don’t get free beer, you don’t get free contraceptives.
Equal rights, right?

“...Affordable Care Act went into effect making birth control free for women with insurance.”
Wait - what - you have to have insurance? I thought they were supposed to throw contraceptives into car windows at red lights!
I’ve always been under the impression that the health department provides free birth control. I may be wrong. I do know that poor people on Medicaid get it free.
Won’t Planned Parenthood provide it out of the goodness of their heart? Because “they CARE about women”!/s
The dems will counter with a masturbation tax.
Give them a vibrator and complimentary AA batteries. Problem solved.
And your ObamaPhone too...
We need to pay for it.Otherwise their spawn will be f*^&)ing with us.
That would be 55 million women who have to take responsibility for their own birth control. What is wrong with that? It cost less than $10/month for birth control pills. Why did the government ever get into their pants?
Socialists like that word “Free”, to them “free” means “no charge” but in reality it is a service that is provided to someone, and other people are forced to pay the cost.
Brand name Ortho-tri-cyclen can be bought for $9/month to 18$ for 3 months.
They can skip one or two trips to Starbucks in just one month and pay for their own BC!

Good. There’s nothing wrong with each woman (and I am one) paying for their own contraception. Why should the guy down the street pay for it?
Excellent point.
Try to tell a leftist that birth control shouldn’t be covered by “health insurance” because health insurance is for fixing something that’s not working, not for taking something that works fine and making it not work.
There is no rebuttal to the point of course, but it will be a lesson to you on what he considers to be “the real issue” (which varies by individual leftist) on that and other policies.
It isn’t free, she just doesn’t pay for it.
Be careful suggesting Super Glue, a case might be made that it would be more efficiently used on your pee-hole. :-)
Yes. This is one case where I endorse the scary headline 100%. The Republicans SHOULD be coming for free birth control. Notwithstanding what the loony Left thinks, birth control (along with tampons, for that matter) are not entitlements.
Let them pay for their own
