The new rules under the Affordable Care Act would include emergency contraception, a newly approved nonprescription birth control pill, spermicides and condoms.

Democrats: for safe sex

Republicans: for creating a world where nobody dares do it

    I’d think birth control would be cheaper for insurers than covering unplanned pregnancies anyway.

      It depends, babies born to single mothers are automatically enrolled in Medicaid, so states cover the child. Eventually that child gets put onto an hmo medicaid plan, which is massively profitable for the company running that hmo.

      Well, I imagine that this is one reason why GOP leadership was against the ACA and tried to repeal it.

      You don’t need to worry about covering either one if nothing is covered, after all. /s
