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.

Free?
Somewhere, Sandra Fluke has that stupid, slack-jawed expression on her face, from trying to wrap her "intellect" around such a suggestion.
The left loves free things. The only free thing the left doesn’t want you to have is the one we Americans cherish the most: FREEDOM!
Jiggyboy, you and tax-chick are making the more profound point: contraceptives aren’t even healthcare.
“Health” means a state of wholeness. The proper exercise of the healing art is to restore a person to normalcy and wholeness by curing diseases, healing injuries, repairing damaged organs or systems, increasing the “ableness” of the disabled.
Contraception does nothing but impair or destroy healthy function.
It is anti-health and anti-care.
"Free" sterilization, but pay for a hip replacement? "Free" birth control pills, but pay for antibiotics? "Free" IUD's, but pay for a pacemaker? This is a profound clash of philosophies, but most discussion just ignores it.
Oh, BOO F**KIN’ HOO!!!!!
A pack of birth control pills costs about $35 a month. Most feminists spend more than that on their morning coffee!
Not only am I not doing them, I wouldn't if I had the opportunity. Yuck!
aspirin will be given to all girls
Much like owning a car, or having a cup of coffee, birth control is not a right, but a choice.
And you pay for your choices. Dont use the state to force other citizens to pay for your sexual desires.
Especially if we can’t watch or partake.
Doesn’t always work.
I think if women get free birth control paid by the government, taxpayers ought to be able to have sex with them.
Sounds like a reasonable trade-off.
Nope. The aspirin between the knees won’t do it.
Good Becca....Free stuff time is OVER@
Didn’t that stuff go generic decades ago? I mean, how expensive is it? And not spreading you legs for every swinging dick to cross your path costs what, exactly?
TANSTAFF. There ain’t no such thing as a free #$%^.
LOL.....I’ve heard that one about holding an aspirin between the knees..,......I’ve also heard some women say their mothers told them to keep their legs closed, so they would stay out of trouble with men.
I know liberals don’t like to talk about this, but a certain amount of morality and self control would negate the need for birth control.,........
“We need to pay for it.Otherwise their spawn will be f*^&)ing with us.”
Kind of goes to my theory on the difference between libertarians, conservatives, and liberals.
Liberals want to do anything and let others deal with the consequences.
Libertarians want people to do anything but believe people should be responsible for the consequences of their own actions
Conservatives would love to have people do anything, but in reality they know damn well that since they are the responsible ones, they will get stuck paying for the totally predictable social maladies that result from other peoples mistakes.
Free? Does somebody actually think this stuff falls outta’ the sky and onto the local formulary?
Hahahahahahaha... idiots.
Better yet, what does it cost to keep it in your pants?
Cut out just the coffee and butts and “PRESTO”.
