When I pointed out to that guy that birth control has valid medical uses for conditions such as PCOS and endometriosis, he countered that he could see making an argument about necessity for the Pill but that it would be hard to justify the IUD. Cue me pointing out that the IUD has medical uses too, and that it’s cost effective in the long run, so denying any birth control coverage = denying health care. Also, it’s not up to me or him or anyone else to dictate medical necessity except a woman and her doctor.

Cue total silence except for some non-answer about how SCOTUS is about to determine if I’m right or wrong about that, but that it’s not a crazy question to ask.

What the fuck? He’s asking questions where the answers will only affect one gender. How is that NOT crazy?
