TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TAKES DIRECT AIM AT BIRTH CONTROL COVERAGE FOR 62 MILLION WOMEN

With this rule in place, any employer could decide that their employees no longer have health insurance coverage for birth control.

If this is true, then President Trump is promoting pro-choice policies. An employer would have the choice to include the coverage or not include the coverage.

The headline is misinformation. I wish it covered all abortions, which some consider contraceptive services, but it doesn’t.

Your 1% sounds about right to me.

A dear friend who is wildly pro abortion keeps sending me emails and in her latest she argued against this on the basis that the costs which I had said were cheap were, in fact, not. She included links where she got the info, but came up with, in summary:

Per Year
Pills - $500-1000
NuvaRing - $960
Shot - $700

Lasts for Years
Implant - $800
IUD - $500-1000

I can usually make her back off arguing abortion because it's core beliefs, but I would really like some good sources to tell her that her cost estimates are too high for birth control, if what I've always believed in is, indeed, true. Her argument is that $700-1000 can't be managed for under the poverty line incomes, and barely for minimum wage. I'd really like to have ONE subject where I could argue back on facts. On abortion, it's just rock firm belief. Can anyone point me to places where I can get good counter information against the cost argument? I really love her and she's highly active in teaching shooting to women, so she's not all out of her mind.

So who should determine the coverage that an employer is offering and paying for the government or the employer?

[Tai_Chung]

My point is that Planned Parenthood and Democrats that claim to be Pro-Choice are not really for choice. They want government mandates to force all insurers to have abortion coverage. They want to take away our choices. Listed below are just a few other examples where liberals want to limit choice.

Ban Guns
Ban Large Sodas
Ban Conservative Speakers
Ban Football
Ban “Merry Christmas”
Ban Christian Bakers
Ban Salaries below or above a certain amount

I even read recently they want to ban best friends because it can hurt the feelings of other students.

Choice creates diversity. Liberals don’t want diversity. They want everyone to think like them. If you don’t, they will pass a law against you.

I think a company should have the right to offer or not offer any benefit or salary. The government should not come between an employer and employee except for things that are in the national interest (i.e. illegal workers, illegal trades, fraud)

I paid for my own birth control, different generation of health care didn’t cover such stuff; then did the sane thing and had my tubes tied after the second C-Section.

Same goes for Men’s Viagra drugs, I don’t want to pay for that freebie either.

ALL OF YOU BUY YOUR OWN!

It’s the beginning of what should be understood.

O.K. Roe-v-Wade says abortion cannot be banned outright.

But that’s the end of the “right” - it cannot be legally banned outright.

That imposes NOT Constitutional mandate that the government, or anyone who opposes abortion, must be financially or operationally responsible, directly for helping you get an abortion. You can go to a provider willing to do it, within the law - end of your “right”. How it is paid for is not a requirement that can be imposed on anyone, and particularly not on the government or an unwilling person, or entity in any capacity. Yes, an employer’s insurance could financially support it, but the employer cannot be required to have the insurance plan support it.

That’s how it SHOULD BE understood and how we have to move the courts to agree that’s how it should be understood.

Planned Parenthood is not concerned about Cancer Patients who get no help with the price of their medicine, or Heart Patients who also get no help with their medicine, or Diabetics, etc. who do not get free medicine, but want free pills for people who want to fool around with sex. Real nice organization, the ACLU!
