The idea that covering birth control will unfairly force men to subsidize a woman's desire to have sex without consequence is ridiculous. First, as it takes both men and women to make babies, it is reasonable to think that both men and women should be responsible for preventing them. Second, women have to subsidize a man's desire to have sex long past the biological age of ability--Viagra is covered under most plans. Third, many women take birth control to reduce the painful and difficult symptoms of menstruation, a condition that has NOTHING to do with preventing pregnancy. To suggest that women wish to have birth control pills covered just because they want to have sex is patriarchal, misogynistic, and, well, just stupid.
Besides, it seems economically sensible for insurance carriers to cover birth control. Which is cheaper--the cost of a monthly prescription or the cost of covering a nine month pregnancy?
