I keep seeing this on CM and on FB. People talking about how FREE birth control (from the government) is their RIGHT as a woman? Im curious, how is free BC a right? When did this happen? If people want the government out of their ovaries why do they invite them in by demanding free BC?

Amen to that.

Quoting Gastromama2007:

If you don't agree with my right to choose, at least give me the right to free birth control...

So who exactly do people think is paying for this 'free' birth control. People with jobs.

I know right..

Just because I have the right to drive a car doesn't mean I have the right to demand someone to buy me one.

It's not a right.

I've honestly never heard anything about people demanding the government provide free birth control. All I've ever heard is people want their INSURANCE to cover it, which I absolutely agree with.

I'm curious to see the STD/STI rate in a few years. Seems no one is smart enough to know what a condom is these days.

A woman has the RIGHT to choose BC for herself. However, no one should have to PAY for her BC but her.

Well then that issue needs to be addressed but it doesn't require every insurance company to be required to prvide free bc.

Really. My last insurance company didn't...

Quoting Anonymous:

They do!!!

Quoting Anonymous:

Insurance companies should at least have to cover some of the cost. I used bc for a medical condition long before I ever thought about sex. I hadn't even kissed a boy at that time.

Quoting Anonymous:

The only free birth control that is a right is the right to keep your legs closed and say no. You wanna have sex, you pay for your own damned birth control - that is rightfully YOUR burden, not society's.
