Paying for what????? It's CHEAPER for insurers to have birth control coverage than NOT. Jeebus the brainwashed have the thickest skulls ever. Unbelievable shytteheads...
You hater dittoheads are the best arguments Dems have...Thanks again, morons!
BTW, any fool would know we're not talking about condoms. What kind of fools are we dealing with anyway? LOL!
Why would a co-ed in her right mind testify before congress that she could not afford to pay for her own birth control? Was she tricked by democrats or was she foolish enough to think that the democrat party wouldn't throw her to the wolves to make a political point? Georgetown and other colleges are free to cover what ever the hell they want to cover. It might be cheaper in the long run if colleges bought beer for frat parties but don't whine to congress that you need the taxpayers to buy a six pack unless you want to look like a fool.

If that's such a well-known fact, I'm sure you can come up with some numbers that confirm it.
Real numbers. Not projections and guesses.
Let's character assassinate women and ignore ALL FACTS. Georgetown has private insurance so even if BC cost money, it wouldn't cost the public.
Hmmm.."you don't need numbers...just take my word for it!"
As you undoubtedly know, the numbers don't support any such mantra. In fact, the numbers point to the direct opposite...welfare has increased lockstep wtih the increase in contraceptive/abortion availability.
Contraceptives cost us MORE, not less!
Well, at least that's what the numbers say. So I can see why you don't want to use them.

Wait a minute, I just saw numbers in the 60's
Each year, public funding for family planning prevents about 1.94 million unintended pregnancies, including almost 400,000 teen pregnancies. Preventing these pregnancies results in 860,000 fewer unintended births, 810,000 fewer abortions and 270,000 fewer miscarriages. More than nine in 10 women receiving publicly-funded family planning services would be eligible for Medicaid-funded prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care services upon pregnancy. Avoiding the significant costs associated with these unintended births saves taxpayers $4 for every $1 spent on family planning.
Evidence that expanding access to contraception through Medicaid is unequivocal: Increased access saves taxpayer money.
During the 1990s, HHS states:
...many states implemented Medicaid Section 1115 Family Planning Demonstrations. An independent evaluation of the experience of six of these states found that all six Demonstrations yielded savings, with annual state savings ranging between $1.3 million in New Mexico and nearly $30 million in Arkansas.
As of August 1, 2010, 27 states, including States like Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida, and Virginia had expanded Medicaid eligibility for family planning services under waivers that stipulated that these expansions be budget neutral. Based on this experience, the Congressional Budget Office has estimated that expanding family planning to all States would save $400 million over 10 years.
Why would insurance companies provide contraception without a co-pay to their female employees? The answers are clear.

That do absolutely nothing to prove the theory that the advent of low cost, widely available contraceptives have saved us any money at all. It's just more blathering about a theory that has never been proven. The NUMBERS show an astronomical leap, followed by steady increase (except for a brief hiccup in the 90s when welfare reform cut a wide swath in the rolls) in welfare recipients, teen pregnancy and illegitimate birth since the advent of public birth control and legal abortion.
There's no argument, it is what it is. You can make up pie in the sky numbers "by golly ahem and haw if it wasn't for abortion and birth control it would be SO MUCH WORSE". Which is lovely...except before abortion and birth control...it WASN'T worse.
