Well, nothing is free, but I support the outcome.

Great, still doesn't mean it's a right or an employer should be forced to pay for it.

States rights.
Good for them.

I honestly would 100% be in favor of using my tax dollars to pay for free birth control if it meant abortion would be outlawed and made a felony manslaughter.
How would others feel?

As long as we're not counting the Morning After pill etc as "abortion" then sure

I could get behind that. If the mom's life is at risk would be an exception for me. I would consider it self defense. It wouldn't be hard to get a doctor's opinion and a 2nd in this case.

Yep, except in cases of the mother's life being in jeopardy then it should fall under self defense like someone else said.

Are there really that many women who have zero income in that state? Because even the lowest wage workers can easily get birth control.

I love the outcome and support birth control wholeheartedly as its part of safe and responsible sex but...
There is no such thing as free. Someone still has to pay for that BC. But like good infrastructure and schools, I'm willing to pay to keep more teen moms off the public dole and enable them to live actual adult lives.

I'm pretty sure that planned parenthood will give a year supply at a time, for free.
At least they used to. I would still think that they do.
Eta: obviously not "free", but free to the user.

Obviously not free, free to the user. But also a net benefit for the state.
It's a win, win all around unless you bring moral grounds into it.

What if the free birth control which is undoubtably cheaper than subsidized child care effectively reduced the childcare cost burdens and resulted in net cost savings?

Man, a lot of low income poor women must be pro-life too. Why weren't they getting abortions before?
Posted on 7/7/14 at 7:38 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
Genius, they aren't getting pregnant so abortions and births went down.
