I respectfully disagree. I believe there are a lot of reasons why contraception is a good thing and I think it’s a good idea for insurance to pay for it. I further believe that women have every bit as much right to sexual pleasure as men do. No argument there. However, I also have a right to do a lot of things for pleasure without involving others in paying for them. I think that undermines this line of argument.

The issue here seems to me to be medical in nature and therefore should be discussed in those terms. As I see it, not getting pregnant is a medical issue. Pregnancy is a drain on the system. I will go so far as to use the word “parasitic”. Now, with a wanted pregnancy it is a joy to provide for one’s offspring with the very flesh of one’s flesh, but can still be physically exhausting. It can adversely affect health, even in a healthy woman.
Then there are all the other reasons why one might take birth control pills for other hormonal issues.
