The poor get free contraception.


Not free birth control.

That may be true in some places but it isn't universal. It also doesn't include the cost of a doctor visit. You know birth control is a prescription drug, right?

Dude stop it with the birth control. You actually think, given the opportunity, low income women would opt for it?

Medicaid covers it. Here they can go to the health dept for FREE and get BC for FREE even without any insurance.
So, there is no reason for anyone in Arkansas should get pregnant due to lack of access to birth control. But they will do it to get some checks.

Charity hospitals have free clinics. We do.

And Walmart sells OCPs for $9/month. That is everywhere there is a Walmart, except in North Dakota. Not sure why North Dakota though.
